The flatbeds are sick but if you really want to make a statement a tricked out semi is the only way to roll. I have been to my fair share of car tours/shows and the guys with big money always stand out. Their fleet of drivers and cars shows up in customized (matching of course if there is more than one) car hauling semis. Some have their names painted on the side others have custom graphics on the truck and trailer. It makes showing up with flatbeds appear uncivilized.

I gotta head back to Dubai some time.

To clear up something as well, just becuase oil is one of the major exports in Gulf countries, many reckon everybody shares all the oil wealth. Dubai in particular is one of the business capitals of the Middle East, so a lot of high class people tend to live there. Some of them are able to make enough money to buy a high end car in one day, through business...with nothing to do with the Government's oil exports.

You gotta respect their love for fast cars! And the cool thing is... they are willing to drive them until the wheels fall off!

Looks like it was a fun event.

And yes, Falcon LS is correct, for some reason, many people here think everyone has a oil stand in front of their house, and are buying all these thing with the money you pay to pump your gas.

Oil is strictly gov't controlled, and not ran by any private companies, at least that’s how it is in Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter. There is a lot of room and opportunities for business, some of the world's riches people live, and or do business there.

This is the UAE we're talking about, slightly more liberal the the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan you're thinking of

Oh, don't worry, there are lambos running around the middle east. A family friend went to grade school and high school in Saudi Arabia... he went to the American School, and of course with connections, all the very very rich and powerful Saudi's were able to send their children there too. He was friends with one guy... who in high school... had not 1, but 3 Diablos!!!
