Like I said, they got some money. It's just really weird as I know it would seem like a cool place to go on some crazy vacation, but since I was deployed just south of there, I will always associate it with flying combat sorites, and defending the nation under sometimes harsh and dangerous conditions. It's just not a place I could ever go on vacation because of that.

There is not much threat of terrorism in Dubai itself as they really want it to be a place for tourism to be safe, however there are a lot of places around there I would not feel comfortable walking around, looking like an American.

How the hell did we get on this topic anyways??

There are a couple guys I was deployed that made this music video while we were there. It gives you an idea of what the environment is outside the city;

Ben,

We started talking about it because one of our middle eastern customers is over in the states getting a dyno built in Ohio and he came by to hang out with us. And we were talking about Bahrain racetrack and isht.

Billy the Camera Kid,

It's not really a tennis court, it's a helipad that was turned into a tennis court for a commercial. But yeah...dont' fall off for sure...211 meters = 692 feet.

From the bottom of the urban legends page: "Why is gasoline $2.39 a gallon for regular unleaded?????? Supply and demand??? That must be it.... we want them to supply us with the oil and they demand that we pay the price!"

I only wish it was that cheap again

Ben,

Want to buy the 1st piece for your Supra build? I bought a brand new, in box, 2nd gen HKS SSQV blow off valve, only to find out, I need a recirculating BOV for the LSx build since it's MAF, where as Supra's and my old car were MAP's, so they don't need a recirculating BOV

Also, how much extra does it cost to have a custom plate?
