Going once, going twice - Sold!

Welcome to the UAE– the most materialistic place on earth! Its all about prestige in this country, for example, the number on your license plate indicates how rich you are. I thought it was crazy when I read an article late last year about a license plate selling for over 6 million dirhams (CAD2,000,000) and then TODAY an article came out stating that the number 5 was sold for 25.2 million (CAD 7,875,000). The article: http://www.emiratestodayonline.com/ArticleText.aspx?article=13_05_2007_001_008

Tip: If you get cut off by someone with any of the numbers 1 to 1500 on their license plate – don’t employ road rage.
