The going Story (I never believe it without adequate source.) The pics speak for themselves.

The car passed the last radar at 345km/h . driver was a Sheikh and son of the owner of City Centre

Sheikh Faisal bin Jasim

Actually, no the pics don't speak for themselves. What's the context of all this?

What seems to be the issue? I recieved this in an email and I posted it.

The only part I added is how I rarely believe the stories attached to images and situations on the net without reputable source.

What I meant was, what was supposed to be going on before the photos? Was the guy racing? Were they just blowing things up for fun? Was anyone killed? Etc, etc etc... The photos don't explain anything except that there's parts of an expensive car in the desert.

Gotcha. I have no more info on what occured. The given statement suggests it was a speed related crash.
That's all I have.

Ya, was he racing a scud missile?

Is that what happens when they have a high speed chase over there... once you're going over 300km/h they call off the chase and fire off a heat seaking missile?

What's up with the thread title?

And Crash took place in Qatar. It seems its unclear what happened but they guess he just lost control and rolled more than a couple times.

more pics.

What...did two arabs not destroy that car? Did one of them not make a stupid enough decision that ultimately destroyed the car?

:banghead:
Perhaps a mod can put "in crash" at the end of my title for the next absent minded poster.

why is the title "Arabs Destored the car" if every post on here had the title with the race of the person of topic we would be the largest racist group in the world!

So what , these Arabs have so much money they dont care about a mercedes SLR when i am sure he has a few more left..

You guys bash the Arabs all the time on the forum, alteast in Arab Oil land the gas is like 30 something cents a litre.

In Alberta where we supply the US slightly more then the Arabs, we pay a dollar more a litre , and we pay more for gas then the country that its exported and sold too.

These Arab counteries may be a little corrupt, but when we are paying almost 5 the price of gas in a region where we produce more Oil then they do, we know our goverment is the corrupt one

You are soooo off base. We pay real market price for our fuel, our gas prices are higher that the US due to taxes. Refinery capacities and transportation costs also pay a role.

Gas in Middle Eastern countries is heavily subsidized by government...

As badatusernames pointed out already, it's subsidized by the government over there. Here we pay taxes on it.

Wow, this statement is entirely wrong. While Canada is the single largest exporter of crude to the US, the combined Middle East still sends more their way.

http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/import.html

We do pay more a litre than in the states for two main reasons:

1. We pay much higher taxes then the Americans do on gasoline
2. We also have to send crude down to the states to get it refined before consumption, our domestic refining capability isn't as high as our consumption, therefore we need to send crude down to the states, get it refined down there then bring it back up here, increasing transportation costs.


These Arab counteries may be a little corrupt, but when we are paying almost 5 the price of gas in a region where we produce more Oil then they do, we know our goverment is the corrupt one

We don't produce more oil than they do, their production is much higher than ours.

Next time try not spitting out a bunch of tin-foil hat bullshit and do some research.

And you spelt countries wrong.

Thanks Captain Obvious! I saw the movie...I know exactly where the reference is from, I just don't find it funny, Matt Damon.

Shuuuuuuuuuuuut Uuuuuuuuuuup!!!

If you are going to call me out for ANYTHING! Please AT LEAST re read what you are going to post and make the appropriate corrections. I will take it more seriously.

PS It's a good idea to not label me as a racist. Thank you!! :thumbsup:

And we aren't paying enough for gas, cause we're still burning it like it's going out of style.

seems to be the rule with expensive supercars that they break in half at the middle... i'm sure they're done like that on purpose, so the superstrong carbon fiber passenger compartment stays intact, and the rest of the body takes the brunt of the damage.... pretty smart in my opinion coz fuck the car, i'm sure anyone will take walking away safe over a car that sustains a little bit less damage

i read on another board that the driver passed away.

Probably blew him out the door during the roll.

Amazing how the cabin is still intact though!
