Also, with regards to the Rolls-Royce Luwalira posted, it is owned by an Arab sheikh (as Maserati has informed us), there is a different culture here as well -- besides, at this social level, are issues of good and bad taste really an issue? ......I mean, in many ways nearly all Rolls-Royces could be seen as quite kitsch.

As you all know S500s, 911 Turbos and similar cars aren't exactly rare in the major cities in UAE and buying a nice black bimmer and putting a set of killer rims on it isn't enough to turn head. That makes people take extreme measures to make their cars stand out in the crowd. |
