Here's a business opportunity for anyone with some investment capital and more than a little moxy. Surely these abandoned supercars can be picked up and shipped to other countries where people aren't afraid of going into debt over their heads (without having their heads lopped off?)...

The Abandoned Supercars of Dubai

Over the last year a crowd of abandoned supercars has stareted populating the parking lot of Dubai Airport. More than 3000 luxury vehicles have been abandoned last year alone. WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT?Well, the reason is quite simple act, they cannot pay for it. The other side of the reason is Sharia Law. Under sharia law, the islamic law governing several countries in the middle east, failing to pay back a debt is a very serious criminal...

That part of the world has more than its fair share of rich morons with no understanding of science or technology. I'll bet none of these cars has ever had an oil change. Stupid waste of beautiful moving artworks of glorious machinery.

there are three problems with this....the tariff on bringing them into the States, the bond you have to post (when i was doing it in the 80's it was 50K per car but you got it back) until they are U.S. emissions and safety ready (approx 20K per car).......And the only take European parts for the most part. Bottom line is you have to have VERY deep pockets.
