Unhappy Dubai Evos..

Got stopped and fined by an undercover for 'loud exhaust noise'.. After quite a long argument that is.. Wasn't even speeding minding my own business on the very right lane of Sheikh Zayed Road..

It seems what was ruled to allow modding in UAE is no longer valid after the 25th December.

I guess we gonna have to use cones to deaden the sound of our cars. The procedure was to stop my car, rev it up and listen to the 'sweet sound' as the officer put it..

Well, my respects..

Wael

Sad to hear the totalitarian way of life is spreading beyond just the USA.

Your kidding right? You don't know what totalitarian means...most Americans don't. there's a difference between public interest and totalitarian...

That's not cool at all. As long as its not super loud and you are driving like an idiot (which u weren't it seems) then they should just leave you alone. A ruling for no more modification? That's terrible. BTW, Dubai has the awesomest looking buildings in the world by far.
