BTW, the crime rate is amazingly low there. I would routinely see guys pull into gas stations with new Ferraris/Porsches and leave the car running with the keys in it while they went inside and took their time buying some snacks and refreshments inside the convenient store.

Looks can be deceiving in Dubai 
Let alone the bank thefts and ATM machines

There are plenty other small perks, if you really feel like discussing it, you can message me.
is that why you don't feel safe posting the pic of the FXX? (just out of curiosity)

Also, have you personally seen Sheikh Mohammed's #1 in red?....I haven't come across a single plate in red, not even Sheikh Maktoum's Maybach ( M-2).
