Oh, hey.
My Grandad has been there on business plenty enough.

Pretty strict Islamic law on the streets
No alcohol
No Arabs, it's nearly empty and almost everyone there is from India or the west
Your car would look as average as a Ford Mondeo
Everything is very pricey

Overall apparently there are much nicer places

There are only 375 P1's in the world. Majority being in the US. I don't think it'd be that average (in the grand scheme).

Now if I went to Monaco...

If I remember correctly alcohol is banned there.
Beautiful city though.

In some regions it is <.<

OP: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/united-arab-emirates/local-laws-and-customs

I know it's a britbong site but give this a read if you plan to visit, it basically gives you the information about any local laws that you might run into conflict with.

See - stuff likes this makes me hesitant to even consider hosting the World Cup in this region. Just a side note related to the laws.

That whole thing is going to end in tears, and probably blood as well.

If you go there, you will be surrounded by people whose parents have more money than your parents.

Why do you have so much beef with BC? Besides the money issue, what is it?

Don't start with that.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

This got me to look at the laws info, and holy crap it's like Middle School. Except you can bring in guns.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

Your car isn't gold plated, tuned beyond belief or encrusted with diamonds though, is it? If not, you'll only ever be average in Dubai.
Whoa, people in Dubai tune their cars?
I was under the impression that they just buy high powered machines from the dealer and leave the drive train stock while wrapping the body in gold leaf.

Silly boot, they gold plate every engine part, hell, even the suspension springs

I remember seeing a video of someone in Dubai having a supercar that had the type of suspension that lets you lift up the front or back of the car (the kind you sometimes see in movies about gangs and whatnot), so I guess so.

Who would put hydraulics on a super car smh

Probably bags, not hydraulics.

I honestly wouldn't know though. I know next to nothing about cars.

Fair enough

Why would I want to go back to medieval times?

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
You can drink alcohol there, just not on the streets. Go to the tourist locations and you'll be fine tbh
It's full of Arab snobs fucking pricks

I mean when the police drive lambos and bugattis, and the average price of a car there is over £1,000,000, you P1 would be the norm

It's great! Very civilised, very cultural, nothing dangerous or sketchy over there.
