amazing video.

Saudis Changing Car Tires, Just Insane

I was expecting them to rotate the tires.

Wonder how the engine oils with it on its side so long.

Also wonder how they can drive the vehicle with the right tire and the left is standing still?

How many beers (or whatever) does it take to be brave enough to try something like this? It'd be safer to chase women!

No it wouldn't.

1. First off, they are hard to find unaccompanied in public.

2. It is hard to run fast in a ratty bathrobe while wearing slip on sandals, and with a picnic tablecloth on top of your your head.. (Though for the women it would be hard to run fast too in a full length gown and only eye holes to see. But a video clip of a chase like that would be pretty amusing to watch).

3. Allah help you if you got caught; that society LOVES judicial violence.
Sounds like an appointment for Friday on "chop-chop" square in Riyadh.
A hand chop at least. Maybe even a head chop. Or the pickup truck full of those special reusable, throwing stones, cleaned of the blood of LAST weeks stoning, will be brought in, with you as the NEXT attraction for the event, (The weekly Friday matinee) and the stones handed out once again, to the spectators to throw at you, tied up or buried to your neck in the "pit" in the main square.

4. Better idea would be to buy yourself a first class plane ticket to Switzerland and cavort with the expensive prostitutes there. Though of course that kind of thing has NEVER occurred *****







(And as for drinking beer in public, ALCOHOL is forbidden in KSA. Try it and ^^^^^ see above). This typical of what happens when you are bored, young and full of testosterone and have unlimited money but you CANNOT have access to females and alcohol in that delightful country.

Never seen anything like it! I don't think we could get any American woman to do that.

Oh, it's gotta be real. Animation has its limits. Must have had those tires pumped up with some serious pressure. I too wonder about the oil delivery.
