The cars don't even give a hint to how wealthy they are over there. They are constructing the worlds tallest building, recreating all 7 wonders of the world (only bigger), have a hotel with floors under the gulf with underwater views (built an island around it).

Some of our oil companies made in 1 quarter 8.8 billion dollars. They cannot
even touch Saudi's wealth. I would like to take my car there and race them in a 1/4 mile....

Yes, I'm glad that they are driving them like they should be but I hope that they respect them. I also resent them a little....

My family personally knows how rich they really are. My grandparents lived in Dubai for 20 plus years. My grandfather was one of the lead designers in the Dubai Airport for the U.A.E. The stories he told of those Oil runners out there is AMAZING!
