Rolls
Yesterday I read an interesting tidbit in the newspaper. Arabian Gulf Mechanical Centre (AGMC) is the only authorized Rolls-Royce dealer in Dubai, our neighboring Emirate of Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.

Well, apparently they had a good year in 2006. The paper reported that AGMC had the highest unit sales in the Middle East, and the fourth highest in the world (behind London, Beverly Hills and Tokyo).

It's funny, the other day I saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom in a parking lot here. It was a simply horrible color somewhere between brown and beige, I mean, no other car manufacturer in the universe would ever have the gaul to use this color. But the car still looked cool.

And you know, the tires on that thing were bigger than the tires on the Ford Explorer next to it.

Unreal.
