[NOT THE BLUE LAMPSHADE]

I didn't think that people in the Middle East were like that with their money... Jesus man, that shit's all ridiculous. I do like the SLR motor in the CLK though, I've seen videos of that car killing an Enzo every single time it races it.

Uhh, that was kinda close-minded. As I recall, tha's Old testament shit, whereas the stuff that christians really follow is the new testament.

Dont' hate.

I just noticed, one of those guys has a Dyno Dynamics dyno! Pretty interesting.

[CVD]

Yeah, Muslims are down with the old testament.

There are some Middle Easterners on the International S2000 board and the pictures they post are insane. Dubai is an amazing city from the looks of it, plus the area out there is filled with nice as hell cars. I am sure its .1% of the population and the other 99.9% is poor as hell, but still, its amazing to look at in pictures. I still wouldn't want to live there though

[A//// Guy]

That is nuts, never seen the middle east from that perspective before. But yea its only a very small portion of reality.
