You can tell it's the Emirate of Dubai (look at the sidewalks.)

I visited a friend who teaches at AUD. Dubai has a great nightlife, club scene and music (liquor is available at the big name hotels and most of the top clubs are in there..) Pretty amazing place.

p.s., here's where the car comes from:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7uweJyXjrM

Deda · 10-23-2008, 03:48 PM

what a tragedy for such a car!

Must be cool to have that much money not to worry about an M6.

Don't know why you are getting so worked up about where the car is over the internet?

cstavaru · 10-23-2008, 04:29 PM

I think that is some kind of protective coat...

TTG · 10-23-2008, 05:47 PM

You park a car outside in Dubai, it will look like that in a week or so..... May the owner is out of town.... Relax people!

heemry328i · 10-23-2008, 06:16 PM

its got to get dirty in order for it to be clean! but damn that is such a nice car... im pretty sure he has scratches on his hood and trunk from people writing on it haha.

m2kev · 10-23-2008, 06:25 PM

Tondtar · 10-23-2008, 06:25 PM

Yes, and they wipe their asses w/ MBZ's in Dubai ...We should feel so lucky

ejazbmw · 10-23-2008, 06:57 PM

i've been to dubai, i don't know why everyone thinks there all rich maybe its because all we hear is the good stuff about dubai but i've seen places where it looks like a actual 3rd world county...but the rich people oh my god there houses are huge my friends one room was the size of my parents house probably bigger lol

E90330iS · 10-23-2008, 07:10 PM

montreal red · 10-23-2008, 08:36 PM

Serves the Ugly Egg mobile right.
Should have bought an Aston AMV8 and somebody would have stolen it already.

yes, does anybody realize the climate there. he could have gone on vacation for like a week.

and this picture is actually kind of old, i think it was posted on here before

carchrism5 · 02-10-2009, 07:53 PM

strangely this made me think of that guy who spent like $14 million dollars on a license plate in Dubai

Tonybest · 02-10-2009, 09:13 PM

In Dubai, the lower the number on your plate, the more important you are... Let's say a number 13 crashes into a parked number 94672... it's number 94672's fault since he has a high number plate.

Fraggy · 02-10-2009, 10:48 PM

I do find it interesting that the writing is primarily in english. I speak a second language, but would never for a second think to write in it while in my native country. I wonder why its more common there to use a second language to communicate with others.
