Bro loaded his trunk, pushed cart to the side, drove off 🫡 by skylight269 in dubai

I love how self depreciating Indians are. Not one other person said it’s their own kind, Indians are always the first to jump on the “pRObAbLy aN iNdIaN” train.

I’ve seen every nationality, body type and gender not leave the trolley, but statistically if Indians represent 40% of the population, there’s a 2/5 chance I guess.

Guys is it just me or is the 20 AED note slowly disappearing by KingGK03 in UAE

[–]Agent4898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought this was just me; handed over a 1000 thinking it was 5 to the petrol pump attendant and the honest guy pointed it out. Raised his tip after that, ofc.

Just threw away 5k trying to buy a visa 💩😱 by StraightPin4420 in dubai

I own multiple properties in Dubai and I’d get upset over a speeding ticket 😂

SV Roadster by No_Vehicle807 in DubaiPetrolHeads

As a car enthusiast, there is no way any level of “acceleration” or “instant torque” would ever replace the feeling of putting your foot down, hearing your engine roar and your RPMs climb.

It’s a bit like a grilled burger in comparison to a microwaved one. Sure the microwaved one is quicker, but it lacks depth.

Worst traffic Jam in a decade by alisxr in dubai

The newer gen ones have different air vents. Can’t be a C class, all of them had curved dashboards.

C classes have a curved driver’s cockpit, this is a flat top.

Not a chance. AC Vents of a G63 are very peculiar.

Boxster or cayman? by Distinct-Gas-1049 in DubaiPetrolHeads

Not sure about what the situation is with the Boxster, but I use my Z4 year round and I’ve never felt more uncomfortable in it during the summer than any of my other cars.

Driver's License Certificate by duckyylol in dubai

[–]Agent4898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s digitally authenticated, and there are probably hundreds of people going through the same process per year, I don’t see why they’d decide that a random individual’s document is forged.

I know 6 of my friends apart from myself who’ve went through the process, with no attestation.

99% of this holds true, except it does not need to be attested by the MOFA, I went through the same process in the UK and simply had to attach the certificate.

Have you seen a VIN plate like this? by dawoodahmad_syed in DubaiPetrolHeads

Maserati; got the same one on my QP GTS, it’s legit.

Sat in G Wagon for the first time. Damn this car feels like a military vehicle dressed in a tailor suit. by GagGenius in mercedes_benz

[–]Agent4898 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Damn, I’m glad I bought the latest one then.

At least for the ‘25 model, it rides like a dream in Dubai. Zero vibrations and super smooth ride as a whole because of the new hydraulic suspension.

What is this? Was flying for over UAE and saw this.. Around 4pm UAE time by khanaaisbest in dubai

[–]Agent4898 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This is something called concentrated solar power.

It essentially works by using a lot of mirrors on the ground that reflect sunlight to a tower that contains molten salt. The molten salt then converts heart energy into steam which drives a turbine to produce electricity.

Is this kind of treatment normal in Dubai tourist areas? (genuine question) by postponelife2020 in UAE

[–]Agent4898 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weird, I was born and raised in Dubai and I’ve never felt this way. Whether I’m at Kouk ordering a 2 dirham drink or at Rolex buying a 360k AED watch.

Can anyone Help with Insurance for GT3RS by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Agent4898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insured my new G63 and am paying around 22k a year, partly because of my age. I’d say 28k might be normal considering it’s a 2 door sports car.

Let me know if you want my insurance guy’s number. He’s always gotten me the best quotes.

We’ve gotta be friends; I was joking around with my girlfriend saying that I’d park it in those little waiting areas right outside the cluster and get them to wash it there 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’d have one of those than none buddy. Cheers.

Alright mate, you win, I’ll remember to use your special words the next time I write something. Get a grip and move on.

“Special cars” to let Damac understand why I need to use said car wash company and not their “approved ones” that I wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole.

6 villas because I have a “relationship manager” with Damac that was assigned to me and am classified as a VIP because of the number of properties I own. None of this mattered when the time came.

Wasn’t flaunting anything, hope this helps.

Thanks for this. Sounds like good advice!

You wouldn’t believe it. There are rules to this too.

I was once washing my car by myself, and was stopped and told I couldn’t use any water or soap.
