I was friend with this guy in Dubai.
He bought a convertable murcielago without anyone in his family knowing (the family was in Iran obv).
He didnt have a driving license cause he was like 15.
So anyway one day we were riding in the high way at some very high speed and some cop saw us.
[We had done this before at least 5,6 other times with me in the car going at 300 km/h in the highway between cars with cops behind us but it was always either some Mercedec (SL55 or a FAB Design Mercedes CL) the kid had many cars and obv the family didnt know about any of them.]
So he put it into gear and we basically had a high way chase but the cops were no match. But the problem was that there was only like 1 other convertable murcielago in the whole city! And his was the only orange one. So anyway he parked the car in some random parking lot of a friends building and didnt touch it again!
btw the scaries part of the chase was that we had to change lanes at some points cause of the cameras and with all the cars at 1/3 of out speed that was like REALLY scary. But another friend that was in the car told me that "once you have an accident going 250 in one of these cars and walk out without a scratch you know its not that scary!!"
I actually have many many stories like that from the time I was in dubai and those people are sooo fucking rich and degenerate that no storie really impress me after that. Unless it envolves Raszi or someone who is just sick hero in a different way. But I have to add they are all intresting reads.
300kmh? riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
I was in atleast three different cars(M5,Mercedes CL600 and a Murcielago) going at 300KM/h or VERY VERY close to it that I actually cared to actually look at the speedmeter cause it was either some chase or the driver was like "oh man check this shit out we are going at 300km/h." Sometimes they would even take a cell phone out and film the speedmeter while driving! lol. Anyway I was only reading the analog speedmeter. So as long as you trust that it is confirmed going at 300Km/h. Also note that its not really as crazy as you think it is. Because these are really well made cars. Going soooo smoothly that you can not feel a thing. Also driving on a perfect road in the desert you dont really have a sense of speed. Also all those cars has electronic kits on them to limit the max speed. They have the ability to go much faster but they limit the top speed for saftey masures. And I even know of people who took the kit out! lol. I actually know a guy who died doing so and the insurrance didnt even pay for the car! (not that the family or anyone even cared)
Also in none of them I was driving Obv. Because I dont even drive cars and I dont even find them interesting other than the engineering concept of it(thats why I only follow F1 rather than even going to car shows) But everybody in Dubai is just crazy about cars and they think its the coolest thing in the world.
I might actually be able to ask the guy for a video if you really care.

LOL so I checked on youtube and I see that appereantly EVERYONE is doing it now. So I dont even need to ask friend for the videos. And around %90 of the videos are in Dubai too. LMFAO!
This is VERY VERY close to the feeling of what is happening.
But take the camera shake out. The car would not even move. I bet you can literally have a glass of water in the cup holder without it spilling
Also take the trees and stuff out as well since in Dubai its the desert only and lamp posts and stuff.
Everything happens so fast you wont even notice much.
And obv this one with the music too!
You can actually kind of see how normal it feels inside of the car. You almost dont even hear the engine. And almost ZERO shake and vibration inside the car.
Btw if you are really into that stuff I will be in dubai probably for new year next year or maybe this summer. And you can come and Im sure I can introduce you to a bunch of old friends since Im still sort of in touch with them.

not rly, i were just doubting for no reason , its not that hard to archieve, all u need is a long straight and a fast car.
in stock cars it doesnt feel scary, in modified it does its amazing how the sound and vibrations make it look much more dangerous.

It gets to the speed so fast and comfortable its not scary at all look at the 2nd video mostly. The trees in the first video and the hand shaking making it much more dramatic than it actualy is! You do not really even hear the engine if the music is just at normal volume.
Also at baal. When I go to Iran I sometimes one of my friends is going at like 100-120km/h in a normal car and you can totally shit your pants! Its just INSANE how different it is.
The whole combinantion of noise+vibration+details on the road makes it 547292740762 more thrilling.

Dubai has the sickest stories ive heard in my life, i remember one story that this rich kid totaled his Lamborgini Murcielago, so he gets out of the car and calls the Benz dealership and orders a brand new Mercedes SLR and they deliver it and he takes off even before the insurance company arrived at the crash scene. wtf.

I'm not sure what's more funny. That the car actually sat there for a year and didn't get stolen, or that the entire living community of that local is so drunk all the time they didn't notice the car was just sitting there until about a year later. Either way LoL .

Indians and pakistani's that come to Dubai to work are living in a room with 6-7 other people. And they get paid of about 200-500 USD a YEAR. That is right about $30/month. And basically when they die in the work they do not even stop the job for a police report! They just bring another new sub in like 5min. (they usually do construcion works and other heavy/dangerous job)
If you look indian police and people are sooo racist about you they basically look at you like slaves and even other Indians that are super rich AND are in Dubai they also treat them like slaves.
But all the people in UAE are on a temporary visa so if you are FROM dubai. That is If you have UAE passport I've hear you dont have to pay for water and electricity. I even heard that if you marry another UAE national you get a free house! lol. Btw even if you born in UAE but your parents are not from UAE you do not get a UAE passport!
That part of the world is sooo fucked up you guys have no idea. The most arrogant, retarded, ignorant people you can ever see. If you think likes of ADZ and other people here are rich and arrogant you have NO IDEA.

LOL. I dont know about the truth behind this but if its true or not this is not even remotly a big deal!
Just a very "daily routine" example: In Dubai cars are not really expensive enough to show off. you can not really expend more than 1mil on a car. So the plates are important and they have number instead of letters. A normal plate is 5digits and worth at around 200-300USD that you have to get. ex:27468
Now if you want more prestige you can get a 4 digit plate with random number ex: 5782 This will cost around 1000USD
Now if you want more prestige you can get a 4 digit plate with 2numbers the same ex: 5722 This will cost around 3000USD
If you want less than 3 digits or cool numbers like "1234" or "1111" the police put them into auctions. And people bid on them. To give you an idea when I was there this Pakistani father bought the plate "123" for his kid at around 1.5mil USD for a birthday gift. Its very very common that you see a REALLY nice car like a Mercedes SLR for 500k that has a licnce plate of 17. And you realize that the plate cost probably around 10 times the price of the car!
And the plates even have series. So its not a unique number. They have A,B,C series so your number will read D123 and someone else have a E123. (but the letter is written small on the other side of the plate and no one calls the letter)
So they have all the letters series and a special series with no letters that is the most expensive and after that its the D series thats most expensive and then it gets to rest. (This is ALL for Dubai and there are other cities in UAE like AbuDhabi and the plates again have their whole games)
There was also this 25year old kid. Who bought a licene plate for his car for the price of $14mil USD! And he is actually from AbuDhabi not Dubai! And this kid is not even from the "famous" families in UAE! Link
Im not trying to be an asshole or anything. But nothing looks lamer to me than some poker players who just made a couple of millions showing off his so called "wealth" (cough ADZ cough). Just speak of his ignorance.

No.
Minimum wage for indian immigrants is 300 a month.
Treating like slaves, gee, why do u slander a country that u know nothing about.
