What about the death by beheading that was later changed to 20 years and 4000 lashes

It's only a matter of time before that oil dries up and they return back to a poor country. It's such a shame to see them to take a limited resource for granted.

Kuwait invented desalination plants so they will have money until the oceans run dry. The country does not have a single body of fresh water they where looking into this decades before anyone else. They supply almost all of the middle east with fresh water.

Just watched this again today. Figured I'd bump it for the newer members to see. I guess this was a one time deal though because he doesn't have any more vids. That or he wrecked it.

As someone else stated, probably someone involved in oil money. Cars are disposable toys to them. The amount of money some of these people have would make you shit your pants.

A friend of my dad drives for the rich. A shiekh once sent a jumbo jet to the UK to pick up his two dogs. A JUMBO JET.

I am a Saudi and not everyone is like that, But we still have really bad and ignorant drivers which sometimes gets frustrating.

The asphalt is covered in sand everywhere. Notice the lack of tire smoke that would be seen in a normal "power" drift.

Their idea of drifting isn't drifting, it's careening side to side with a high probability of fatal impact against a solid object. I've seen plenty videos from there.
