They've got most everything in Dubai, was there in 2006. Be safe in your travels. Joe

Kris, you gotta check out the "drifting". Especially in Saudi, google saudi drift accident.
OMG it's hilarious, they drive down a public road, then snap the wheel and try to "slide" around cars and trucks with obvious hilarious (and sometimes fatal) results.
Nobody wears seatbelts and to be popular you sit on the window ledge and wave your hands in the air as you drive down the road....

So , Khris I think it would be REALLY COOL if you could post a certain time that you could go down to Larry & Patsy 's Trailer on Friday so everyone could come down and meet you . My son served 7 years in the Air Force and my nephew is a Sergent in the Marines. He was at Camp Leatherneck , but thank God he is making his way back home also. I hope you can do this so I can thank you for your service.

I just spent two weeks in Dubai last month on a business trip.
All I can say is that racing is alive along with many muscle cars all over the place.
There are 4 tracks about 1 hour drive from each other and they have drag racing every week.

The country has a population of 4 million, however, only 880,000 are locals; everybody else is an expatriate.

A few Aussies have established "Hot Rod and Tuning" shops, however, they are not at the level of ours. Was talking to one of the customers that happened to drive an Audi R8 everyday, however, owns a 2010 Shelby for street racing and a R/T 2011 Challenger that he drag races. He said anyone from the US that knows programming and tuning of ECM's both OEM and Aftermarket that sets shop in the UAE, would be making lots of money. The expatriates I dealt with are provided with very nice housing, a vehicle and great salary...tax free!!!
