Perhaps it has to do with the Oriental inclination to read from right to left, whereas we Westerners read left to right. In studying some Oriental languages I noticed that the Eastern thought patterns as well as their mechanics of reading seem to run the opposite of ours.

Look at the avatars

This site is evidently a forum for "ricer" types in SaudiArabia and Kuwait.
Check the "pages" running right to left, and look at some of the Avatars which depict the posters cars....

I would imagine for the teenage guys there from rich families with huge amounts of money and nothing much to spend it on. The culture won't really allow them to date, dance, drink or much else so they fix up their cars and race up and down the street.

I don't speak or read Arabic, but there are evidently "tuners" there.

Incredible the Toyota Camry with "Lamborghini" doors, on a 4 door car, and the side opening Lamborghini type trunk

The "Donk"/Lowrider Box late 80's slammed Caprice with 24"wheels !!!!

Chevy Yukon with Lamboghini doors!!!

Unbelievable bad taste gone wild.

Sixto where did you find this site anyway??

I heard Donavan on a radio interview once and he said that Country Joe McDonald made a joke on stage about getting high on banana peels right about the time the song came out and it just took off.

I think that was how the story went, but something like that.

Dude, Those were not the right peels. Remember the cat nip thing too?
