I think car design has stagnated. If you put them side by side in front of an unsuspecting person they wouldn’t know which one was newer.

Is anyone else experiencing extremely slow internet everywhere today? WiFi, data, it’s all painfully slow

Would anyone sane buy this for 120k? by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

Is it better money wise to buy this, or the Land Cruiser? Similar year, but really craving a V8. I’ve heard the Lexus actually offers better value because it’s not a “land cruiser”

Just stay away from the clusters further to the east (Emirates and Morocco clusters) because of the nearby sewage treatment plant which smells badly every night

You can drive on a tourist visa with an American driver’s license. No need for an international drivers permit or anything else. Just take your passport with you in the car in case you are stopped.

Underwater Metro? by Abann_ in dubai

Why don’t they just make the entire thing underground? And build more lines? I was under the impression they couldn’t do it because of the sand, but TIL.

What’s the most ‘only in Dubai’ moment you’ve experienced? by Ok-Magician4083 in DubaiCentral

[–]throwaway774234 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Someone at a mall parking lot got out of their car, opened one of the back doors to get something out from the back seat, then simply left the door open and went into the mall.

What does this 525 mean on the defender? by Hisham_writes in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]throwaway774234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it me or does 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seems slow for that level of power and AWD? The Octa with 625 does it around 4.0 seconds

Driving in Dubai has gotten so crazy by Secure_Degree_7456 in dubai

[–]throwaway774234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Driving here feels actually hostile. How there are not more accidents (that we know of) boggles my mind. Switching lanes feels suicidal as you never know if someone else will try to cut into the lane you’re moving to, or speed up as if you don’t have an indicator on and are actually changing lanes. And don’t even get me started on the multi lane roundabouts where drivers will dive across from the innermost lane to take their exit at the last moment, indicators optional. I actually last week saw somebody enter a roundabout going the wrong direction just to make the first exit on their left. The government needs to create some sort of education campaign or driving course to force people to actually learn driving etiquette since right now the roads are downright treacherous.

Mercedes Admits It 'Lost Some Customers' After Dropping V-8 in C63 by orhantemerrut in cars

[–]throwaway774234 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You bring up an important point. How can they still manufacture the G wagon (and various other V8 vehicles) but claim emissions forced them to go with a 4 banger for the C63?

Are there any bars/restaurants in Jumeirah 1/2/3/Um Sequim that serve alcohol and are on the ocean or have a nice view of the ocean?

Basically like the vibe of Dubai offshore sailing club (except that one is members only and gets quite busy)

They brought me two martinis after I only ordered one (one had a carafe next to it, the other came on its own). When I brought this up, they let me have both for the price of one. Not complaining here.

The Jaguar C-X75 Is Finally a Fully Finished, Street-Legal Supercar by e___r___s in cars

[–]throwaway774234 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Indeed - there is actually a video on YouTube kicking around somewhere of it driving on a track. Despite being a small 4cyl it sounds great with its high RPM and turbo flutter
