Taxi driver? Hardly.

As for being stolen, probably not. Alot of Arab guys in those countries have huge money. I was in Dubai and saw 911 Turbos and Bentleys like we see Camrys here in the US. Many of those guys can also afford to run those cars as a daily driver or toy racer. Must be nice..

I don't find it cool, sweet or entertaining.

That's how innocent pedestrians get killed. I could care less if the driver wants to kill himself, but he's jeopardizing others.

Save it for the track, guys.

The stickers on the inside of the windshield look very much like a VA state inspection sticker and a county tax sticker...

Total A$$!

That driver had utter distregard for other's safety and well being. That level of disrespect must certainly permeate his daily life too. I say, off with his head!

I hope he stuffs that Ferrari into a brick wall--hard.

Spent a lot of time at the Chelsea Hotel in Knightsbridge London.

Very popular hotel with the Dubai crowd.

All the guys would pull up in Ferraris, Lambos you name it.

Horrible thing is they had plenty of money for toys but it seems not one of them had heard of this thing called a bath.

I always asked for a room on a low floor so if I got stuck in an elevator with one of em I knew I could hold my breath long enough.

Well …

The poor car may be what’s left of a F355.

The driver is a 1993 F000.

Who was the idiot that let the 13 year old attempt to drive.

Best,
Grady

What a jackas*. He is lucky no one puts a bullet in his head. You can see the poverty stricken area and run down vehicles he is forcing to stop or move out of the way of him so he can flaunt what he has like a kid in a schoolyard. This vid really rubbed me the wrong way.....haven't had my first coffee yet though. Neat site none the less thanks for posting!

Is that a verse from the Koran hanging from his mirror?

jpinkert is correct. I live in VA and that red sticker is a Fairfax County Tax sticker and the yellow on next to it is a safety inspection sticker. But that is definatley not anywhere in VA he is driving.
The whole thing is a little sketchy.

I see why they are always praying to Allah. Looks like they are going to meet him real soon. Hopefully before someone innocent gets hit. Site should change its name to the Darwin Awards.

Not unusual

I've spent time in many of the Arab countries. Pretty much from 1992 to 2000, I made multiple trips there for several weeks at a time. I was in Kuwait just after the 1st gulf war when many of the fires were still burning. When I first went, my biggest fear was stepping on a land mine. Within one day of arrival my biggest fear was getting killed in a car wreck. There's stupid money in these countries in the hands of the very young. Also, there's not much to do, very restrictive religious laws, no clubs, and boys and girls are forbidden from sitting together in public. Taken in total, a perfect recipe for this behavior.

To make their point, the cities often leave wrecked cars by the side of the road for weeks. I saw a vette, sheared in half by a light pole still smoldering in the median. There's no way the driver could have survived. I've seen motorcycle drivers going down the freeway standing on the seats with arms outstretched. I assume they latched the throttle. Beats me how they do it. Speed limits are ignored, 200 kph is not unusual to see on a daily basis.

Ferrari 456's, Porsche Turbo's, Bentleys, and Lambos sit lined up outside restaurants like TGI Friday's while the teenagers sit inside talking on mutiple cell phones to kids at other tables in the same restaurant.

The Ferrari in the video means less to this guy than a go cart would to you or I in a parking lot. If it breaks, he can get a new one. I see the valance is already AWOL.

Absolutely no respect for fine (albeit non-German) machinery.

Instant Camry demotion.

The rich Arab kids do this all the time. Heck, even rich Arab adults do some very stupid crap with their cars. But lets be realistic, rich kids in Miami, Beverly Hills, etc. do the same crap, I've seen it, and I'm sure many of you have also. I suppose the difference is that they dont have Quranic verses hanging from their rear view mirror, maybe a cross around their neck instead.

Jackasses have infiltrated all races, countries and religions.
