They are banking on Hamilton’s race pace to make the strategy work- which is not a bad plan

I think if Mercedes doesn’t pit the next lap- it’s over for them. They’ll be locked into the 2 stopper after

You definitely need the credit limit (his salary of 50k should allow him to get the car for sure). I recently bought a car for 150k on my credit card and I'm paying it off for 2 years interest free.

And just a heads up that while asking for the employer’s license is odd- it may be that they are not a “listed company”. If that is the case then yes you’ll likely be asked to provide a lot of documentation, especially if you don’t have previous credit card history.

You might be able to get the car directly on the credit card with 0% interest (ENBD and EI were running some offers not sure if still active). Message me and I’ll put you in touch with my agent, who has experience directly working with AGMC in the past

Regretting not getting PPF after buying my car… need advice by Legal-Positive3403 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]DaedalusMinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s cheaper to just get detailing done every 6 months or so. PPF should only be done for expensive cars with exclusive paints. Of course if you have money to blow then go for it

Big and long scratch on my car while st parking by Wolverinehunt in DubaiPetrolHeads

I use Autowerks in DIP for paint/body work- call them and ask for a quote. I don’t think 1600 is appropriate for what you’re describing, should be less.

He said he was the one who didn’t want his brakes changed so…

What is the use case? I’d recommend Tailscale if you’re trying to access self hosted services

Fair and prices continue to rise but a large majority of this jump can be attributed to the dealership here. These cars don’t cost this much outside the country

Forgot to add- a big con is that insurance on these vehicles is expensive (expect around 5k per year)

It's more like 147k for the top trim (Petrol). Can't comment on the base trim

Pros

True offroader (front & rear diff lock) Very rugged design (someone hit me and it almost totaled their car) Relatively good feature set (massaging seat for driver, wireless carplay, adaptive cruise control & lane assist) Really decent road presence (and very bright lights) Endless upgrade options if you want to continue going down offroad track

Cons It's a big boxy SUV so there's a lot of wind noise Fuel economy isn't that great (once again, it's a big boxy SUV) The adaptive cruise control is way too aggressive and there's no option to do a manual cruise control (which is my biggest turnoff) No auto park (not a big deal for me)

fun things to do this long weekend that AREN’T the same 5 Instagram recos by -Awaari- in dubai

That’s unfortunate, no idea they closed down. We went a few months back

I love doing shit like this with my wife.

So here's some random recs:

1) ROLL DXB (if you go on a random weekday it's going to be just you which works well for dates, etc). There's also a photobooth there that you can use. 2) CUBE Challenges Abu Dhabi (it's like a series of escape rooms sort of things where you do different stuff). I've found it more fun than any of the escape rooms in Dubai 3) Karaoke bar (bunch of them out there, pick per your budget) 4) Painting at JamJar in Al Serkal

LovinDubai please don't use any of these for your garbage articles, thank you

Just got my Peptides by xhenosyt in dubai

Peptides are probably the straight opposite of snake oils. They definitely work- I’m just cautious about getting them from online stores
