What happened to your Civic? If you sell it, you cannot shout "VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO!" any more.

Haven't seen the new one, dude. It should be fine though.

He OD'ed? Maybe we can somehow get a public holiday out of this.

Update: Damn, he really is dead.

Between the Dubai Country Club and Al Awir Used Car Market is a stretch of road with a bunch of cheap auto repair shops. Try one of them. I had a dented car repaired there once and it was good enough. The paint was a slightly different color if you looked carefully. Old thread, but the ghetto repai...

Been a while. The LHD Mercs coming from Japan really are original LHD. In Japan, it is considered a status symbol to drive an "imported" car with LHD. So the Germans just gave the market what it wanted.

Hi all, I just purchased a 1988 190E from a Jordanian friend. I just wanted to know where I can get cheap but good replacement parts here in Dubai? Thanks for your help. Edward :) Go to Sharjah and ask anyone where "BMW road" is, also known as First Industrial Street. There, go to any sho...

Yes, to preserve resale value 10 years down the line.

get ready to wait and wait and wait. The process to buy a car is nothing compared to how it is in the states. It took me 10 days from start to finish with a very reputable used car dealer. They handled all the paperwork etc and there was not much. However, like everything in Dubai, the whole proces...

The "special" not-named-after-country buildings at IC have 2-bd apartments. I'm happy with the ROI on my Persia place. 12% rental returns and 25% increase in value in only one year. My last tenant was also happy since she worked at JAFZA and took her 20 mins to get to work supposedly. The ...

how do i get to Rex drive in cinema? all i know is its somewhere near Mirdiff. Is it even open still? any idea on their timings? Keep going along Airport Road, over the overpass over Emirates Road towards Mushrif Park, and you will spot it on your left. Of course, Rex was open when I last noticed i...

Why would anyone want to walk through Saudi Arabia and Yemen? Outside the major cities, those places are hellholes.

So he owns an alcohol joint, eh?

Ah yes the reclusive Russian dude! He lives in the Burj and rarely goes out, he has part of an entire floor of the partking at the Burj for his super cars apparently. Nice urban legend. By the way, I saw these photos in that original post before too, plus hte Russian story. I bet there are many oth...

The dull and traffic-blocking Arab Run was also inspired by this.

One problem with your idea would be to overcome bureaucracy at the border. That, and half the participants will not come back alive. Even the Arab Run parade had a crash.

But I prefer the Grand Cherokees. There are a lot more of them out here and they come with the V8 option.

I have a GC V8, hehe. I bought it specifically because it is NOT as common as a Toyota/Nissan/whatever.

Ok, NOW you are lying. When do you commute? 4 am in the morning?

I drove the Hummer H3, and in all honesty, it is awful when it comes to visibility. It is impossible to parallel park in a tight spot because the rear tyre blocks the view. All 4WDs are not this bad though. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee without sensors, and never had a problem with it. So it is a des...

By pure dumb luck, I came across the video on the net. Car broken down on side of road. Police car stopped in the MIDDLE of the road (airport tunnel). Cop steps out, checks out the breakdown and starts walking back to his patrol car. The policeman was walking in the MIDDLE of the road, towards his p...

If I remember correctly, you are from Sweden. Dude, go back! This place is awful for making money in less-than-managerial positions. Don't believe the PR hype about Dubai. quatroporte - Then I guess a newbie coming to Dubai can only dream about getting a descent job and salary here from now on. Gues...

Unusually accurate, even if stereotypical.

Hehe. A guy with that much wastaa works for some small-time boss?

Acura is not sold in the GCC whatsoever.

Du is playing an April Fool's joke on y'all.

I am glad etisalat doesn't have a sense of humour.

We ate a huge bunch of fish that washed up at a DEWA power station. They were alive when picked up. Forgot the story on why they washed up.
