I was just in Dubai, at the Mall of The Emirates where the photo was taken. There are indeed many millionaires walking around and luxury cars are everywhere. I watched a guy buy a $35,000 Rolex like he was picking out a sandwich. The car MAY be rhodium plated, which is what they use to plate yellow gold and make it white gold. Same process as chroming, but obviously more expensive.
I was thinking of having that done to my tank....lol

:icon18: wow! do you think that this millionaires roaming around the mall are safe there? do they have bodyguards on their tow? just curious ..i think?
actually its a good idea!(tank thing):icon18:

Not really.

I'm close friends with someone who's last-name appears several times on any list of the wealthiest Saudis/Arabs. He has expressed that he has no need for a bodyguard in Saudi Arabia, although he does carry.

Yeah if every millionaire here walked around with body guards the whole city will turn into a fortress lol

I made a thread actually for the sick rides I spot in the UAE, have a look if you're interested

Don't believe 6.89
 

Sorry I don't buy the under 2 secs and a 1/4 mile time of 6.89 not weighting as much as this car has to weight in GOLD. 6.89 is just a little slower than times that NHRA ProStockers run at over 206 MPH in the Quarter.

BTW, with that much torque it should just blow the tires off of it when punched.
:bs:

I saw somewhere a paint process that involves the normal highgloss paint, then they use a crap load of clear coat and then polish it like you did your knob when you saw your first boob.

The guy I saw buy the Rolex walked in with two 'friends'. As the millionaire picked out his watch, the other guys stood around and when the 'boss' walked away with the watch, one of his 'friends' walked up to the counter and haggled the price then paid the guy. The 'boss' doesn't talk prices I guess.

The UAE is VERY safe.

Reviving this thread because I can't take any of these U.A.E. cars anymore. Am I the only one who thinks this looks like arse? Just shows you money cannot buy class. To each their own I suppose.

Remember that before the Brits and Americans gave them their "kingdom" in return for rights to drill, the only things these guys were racing were camels.

:icon18: Lulz!

That's what I'm saying. They are like the "new money" kids in the world. These guys are raking in billions and they don't know what to do with it!

That's how I felt when I was in Dubai. Sure there's some neat stuffs there but the basic infrastructure of the country seems to be extremely lagging behind. It's almost as if the entire population has money and nobody wants to be a civil servant.
