They have to build a little house to get the property. You still see them out there. Then they had to make a roof. Well out of uh... you know, a company that used to melt the plates down, fact they were in Ontario and then, going out that way on that railroad route, or get or getting plates coming this way, I don't know, then the train derailed, so here's a big pile of license plates, they're all from the 30's, layin' out in the desert. So these people would take 'em, and they'd make their roof out of them, like tiles, sprayed 'em silver, so I've got all these plates with extra nail holes in 'em, and with little parts of them on the back, sprayed with silver, and I know a lot of people who have 'em too, it's because of the story.
@@starvalkyrie It's actually very easy to get large loans in the UAE since they do not have a credit system like the US. They offset the potential liability by having extremely harsh punishments for not paying, ie: prison.

Greetings from Dubai. Nice vid, just a small correction, police doesn't use these cars as interceptors, matter of fact, police doesn't chase anyone here, and people are not dumb enough to run in most cases, and in most cases you just get an SMS and email with a fine( ranges from a minimum of $200 to like $10k + impound + ...). Those police supercars are demo cars from dealerships who lend the cars for a year to Dubai Police Special Vehicle Unit (that does fall under police, but actually work under Tourism Dept and serve as a marketing tool). Police rolls up in them on certain events, but are generally rare driven on the road and not used for active duty. And for the dealership it's the best rolling billboard money can buy.. Hope this helps.
I spent two years working in the UAE and saw this first hand. I saw these abandoned luxury cars at random places but airport and hotel parking garages were the most common. It was a sad sight to see!
No kidding.. I spent nearly $500 on shark cards buying everything I wanted in the game.. the game never improves and completely wastes your time.. last year, during the pandemic my timer on gta said I spend 56 out of 365 days on the game.. considering the game hasn’t progressed at all even with the new update, I had to call it quits with that sad ass game.. left at rank 370 something with about $50 mil in the bank and every car/house I’ve wanted..haven’t played in nearly 3 months and I feel like a recovering crack addict lol
Maybe it's just me ... ... but what I find tragic about these cars simply abandoned is just how many hours of work it takes to build even one, just on the craftsmanship, and stitching, on the seats alone. There was a time, and possibly still is, when Aston Martin prided itself on the fact that each engine was assembled by one man, whom had his name on a small, discrete, plaque on it. So, imagine being one of those many craftsmen (and - women) whom spends hours, if not days, building such a car ... only to have it dumped, left it slowly rot away. If they saw what happened to their craft, it's enough to make them weep ... Fortunately, Dubai is relatively dry most of the year, so water damage is not wholly unpreparable. Heck, even in Arizona, there's the infamous 'Boneyard' where the USAF parks hundreds of aircraft, especially the iconic B52s, although many of those have been largely stripped out for parts. In fact, there's plenty enough F111s to equip at least one (British) RAF squadron, which, given the whole debacle which resulted in our cancellation of our TSR-2 (with Canada experiencing something similar), given we no longer have the equivalent of a long range strike aircraft, and the F-111 likely to be completely retired by the USAF, along with the B-1b, I say the USAF owes it's debts to both the RAF, RCAF, and possibly the RAAF, too ... But going back to the cars. Even a totalled car, out in the desert still has worth, not just in spare parts. Although turning the seats in to a four piece suite for one's sitting room seems like an ignonimous end, given the high quality of materials, and workmanship, involved, up-cycling those seats, instead of having them crushed up into scrap, is still better than that. Even 'scrap' alcantara goes for reasonable prices ... which, again, ripping that out of a supercar may also be ignonimous, but, again, better than it being crumpled up, with the car. Even the engine itself is potentially very worthwhile salvaging. Then there's the carbon fiber ... Heck, if I could start up my own business, it would be exactly that: salvaging what one can. After all, to us petrol heads, what would be a more perfect gift that a chair, or settee, made from the seats of your favourite marque car ... ... but that's just a crazy idea I have ... [Edit: I don't know how many will see this but, if you do, am I crazy in thinking this way ...? Let me know below ... ]
Hey, I'm a craftsman of the skill level you speak off. I only have an attachment to my work when I'm actively creating it. When it goes out the door im already focusing on the next build and truly could care less what happens to it. After all I can always build another. My skill at my trade is what I'm proud of not the product I created.
All of these craftsmen work for companies whose goal is to make a profit. Which there is nothing wrong with, I just think you care more than some of them do lol
Thank you for this video. I remember when I first heard about this phenomenon 15 years ago of "Range Rovers being abandoned in the desert" I was told the people were so rich that instead of buying gas for the truck that would leave them in the desert and get a new car. Which never made any sense to me. Again thank you
One point to consider, damage from over rev's, and driving without caring of mechanical consequences. Also maintenance most surly was neglected. Sand in the intake from a compromised air filter will require work that buyer hadn't considered. Probably not a good idea to play with these toys...
@@forbiddenera I am American its not that, it is just that USA is so massive we never have to leave the country to know about currency exchange or even world news. Trust me I learned alot living in Dubai. We just need to travel and understand how things work outside of our country.
My dad was stationed in Kuwait n he told me dudes were so rich that one time they ran out of gas and instead of coming back for it they straight up left it on the side of the road. So insane.
@red diamond71 well, we are 22. I don't disagree with ur facts. And most of us prefer Indian over Israel. Way cheaper, and less complicated and most experienced.
The top two lessons that this video proved are: 1) When people have too much money they start to undervalue things around them. 2) Local laws, when properly and universally enforced, absolutely work and influence our behaviors. Regardless of how rich we are.

Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
When the bubble burst in Dubai people bolted never to return. I was a constant traveler in Dubai during the war years. Abandoned vehicles were everywhere
Your friend is correct. There are gold bar vending machines. I lived in Abu Dhabi almost a year and drove a Land Cruiser. It was pretty common even with a $100k price tag. Ex-pats do in fact dump and run before the note is 90 days late.
Bro one time I legit saw a rolce Royce picking up dust in a ikea parking lot in dubai it’s so crazy how they just ditch it and never come back it fully dusty
@@desertsandfly2277 no, JUST NO!!!!! Habibi, don't use Google translate to write phrases, that's something everyone knows.... As an Arab i had a stroke reading that abomination.
I think there's an episode about the imperial on Donut Underground, sadly locked behind a pay wall. The closest you'll probably get is the episode titled "I made a mistake"...
I know a guy in Canada that buys used car (often super/hyper cars) and ships them over to Dubai as well they get top dollar car from all over the world, he sent 2 uruses last week even
Well, I was born and I live in uae FYI, and it's pretty common to see random g wagens in the parking floors, heck there's a 2020 model gathering dust 17 levels below me, So yeah nobody actually pays ANY attention to these expensive cars And you can't just get out of dubai with a arrest warrant on you, they'll check your visa or emirates ID, then IF you have some warrant issued, well, I'm pretty sure you'll hope jail isn't as bad as it is said to be
@@leonm6969 well arguably since i was at business but i know enough, you can get anything there if you want to, but altogether its a sandpit of ugly citys
Must have missed the point of the video, "rich people" who end up not being able to afford their stupid loan have to ditch the car and bail the country lol.
@@jakeriffle6719 And this "issue" has been going on for a very long time, I remember seeing a You Tube video about at least 7 years ago. I think a lot of it was related to oil tanking on the market and all those people flush with market (not liquid) cash got burned.
I actually lived in Dubai from 2016 to 2021 and actually counted how many ditched sport/super car I saw on the side of the road from 2019 to 2021. Here are the scores: 27 Mercedes g wagons, 16 Lamborghini aventadors, 22 various Ferrari’s, including 2 la Ferraris
@@WreeperXD True....however there were only 399 Ferrari Enzo's made and at least one of them was abandoned in the UAE per the video. I suppose it's possible as I've been there as recently as pre-Covid and knew of at least 30 cars from a friend of mine who lives there.
It's actually really impressive these cars eve survive that much time parked on the streets without getting completely destroyed by people stealing parts or stealing the car itself. Even though the laws are really strict, there's always someone willing to take the risk of earning easy money.
@@vercingetorix5708 It''s mainly fraudsters tbh of which Dubai has many. The 'miss 1 payment' is a exaggeration, It's a civil matter until banks realise they've been frauded/person has fled. Then its criminal which is normal & good cause its a deterrent for future crime by banning people from UAE. So many people go abroad to have fun beyond their means then run away so you've got to clamp down hard on it.
@Green Mamba Games it's probably something like "the bodywork is beautifully obscured by 3 layers of rust. Used only for shopping, real treat, don't lowball me i know what i got" or something along these lines
... because they know just how to trap you with material things that boost your ego. Make the loan easy to get, hard as hell to pay back. Easy trap. Win, win for the lawyers and bankers.
It's mainly just fraudsters, Dubai is full of them. Not really 'people loosing their jobs'. Fraudsters from Russia/Europe & hell even Antartica knowing Dubai. 'Here for a good time not a long time'.
Lol.....doesn't mean what he's saying is a fact! He doesn't know the people who left the cars to ask why.....it's his opinion!? He didn't interview not one person who admitted to doing what he said. He's gonna be a great politician 😉
Haha, it's not all it seems like there, I used to live there till like 2 years ago and unless you're a multi national millionaire or something your best bet is to stay where you are, no kidding... The tax they were taking about was just income tax, the rest of the expenses that are to be paid for an expat living there are just way too much for a normal person... And about them making money from oil, that was many years ago, now it's mainly the tourism and the money they squeeze from said expats so yeah just keep these things in mind if you are even close to thinking of doing something like this...
@@nexusproductions2064 you’re right! Dubai is a massive mirage in the desert! It’s a big Ponzi scheme that’s created by the rulers of the kingdom aka the government. But like every scheme, there are some winners ( expat opportunists aka rich ppl and most locals) and lots of losers ( the average joe, mostly immigrants doing all the grunt work). This is eventually going to implode cause the novelty of the place is quickly disappearing so no tourism and no more oil money to bail them out! This is common knowledge to anyone who’s spent any time there.
Just before I left the military, I’ve always heard stories of people abandoning their supercars in the desert when they run out of fuel. I always thought it was a bs... until now. And I left the military in 2007. So imagine how many supercars are really abandoned since.
I've been to Dubai, its ridiculous what you can buy there, gold in vending machines, BMWs at the airport, all kinds of things. And it is sad seeing these amazing cars just sitting there rotting away.
As you should! This was something I found out ppl don’t do North America. Everything is a long run of interest. I feel like they want you to be in constant debt
@@VerryJerry90 generally speaking, I don't know how can some people live their whole lives in debt.. borrow money for house, car, furniture, phone payments etc... Basically one's life is owned by the bank. Would make me feel nervous every day.
Going between bases in Kuwait as I was getting ready to leave the country, there was a purple Bentley chilling on the side of the road with a busted tire. Nobody in sight. Covered with sand.
Been living here for the last 6 years and it always makes me sad to see cars being abandoned, there's a huge active car scene going on in Dubai, of enthusiasts and official races as well, cars are parts of the local culture here so if you're a car guy, this place is paradise for so many car related reasons.
I saw a comment on another Donut video saying Dubai was "A cargo cult of successful civilization" and that single sentence just keeps coming back to me.
Cars: I don't like sand. It's rough, coarse and irritating. And it gets everywhere.

Your friend is correct. There are gold bar vending machines. I lived in Abu Dhabi almost a year and drove a Land Cruiser. It was pretty common even with a $100k price tag. Ex-pats do in fact dump and run before the note is 90 days late.

Well, I was born and I live in uae FYI, and it's pretty common to see random g wagens in the parking floors, heck there's a 2020 model gathering dust 17 levels below me,
So yeah nobody actually pays ANY attention to these expensive cars
And you can't just get out of dubai with a arrest warrant on you, they'll check your visa or emirates ID, then IF you have some warrant issued, well, I'm pretty sure you'll hope jail isn't as bad as it is said to be

I actually lived in Dubai from 2016 to 2021 and actually counted how many ditched sport/super car I saw on the side of the road from 2019 to 2021. Here are the scores: 27 Mercedes g wagons, 16 Lamborghini aventadors, 22 various Ferrari’s, including 2 la Ferraris
Which areas can I look for the most cars lol
2 LA FERRARIS?!
2 LaFerraris? You sure? They're super limited edition cars. No way they were just ditched like that.
??? There are only 500 LaFerraris in the world
@@WreeperXD True....however there were only 399 Ferrari Enzo's made and at least one of them was abandoned in the UAE per the video. I suppose it's possible as I've been there as recently as pre-Covid and knew of at least 30 cars from a friend of mine who lives there.
That slanted G wagon would make for a mad diy convertible conversion.
It's actually really impressive these cars eve survive that much time parked on the streets without getting completely destroyed by people stealing parts or stealing the car itself. Even though the laws are really strict, there's always someone willing to take the risk of earning easy money.
tldw: Rich poeple, no longer rich, ditching them and fleeing so they dont go to jail because its a crime to default on payments in UAE
I’m pretty sure this a good example of why debtors prisons are a bad idea
Yup, been there seen that. Its incredibly fucked out there
if you can't afford it cash-paid, don't buy it. simple.
I wouldn't say that is the case even most of the time. People who bought a car they couldn't afford.
@@vercingetorix5708 It''s mainly fraudsters tbh of which Dubai has many. The 'miss 1 payment' is a exaggeration, It's a civil matter until banks realise they've been frauded/person has fled. Then its criminal which is normal & good cause its a deterrent for future crime by banning people from UAE. So many people go abroad to have fun beyond their means then run away so you've got to clamp down hard on it.
Shout out to the Plymouth Prowler that made it into this video. You did it bud.

It happens when someone tries to bite more than that they can chew.
... because they know just how to trap you with material things that boost your ego. Make the loan easy to get, hard as hell to pay back. Easy trap. Win, win for the lawyers and bankers.
Frank sinatra did that,, even he put that in his song, "When I bit off, more than I could chew" 😁😁😁😁
It's mainly just fraudsters, Dubai is full of them. Not really 'people loosing their jobs'. Fraudsters from Russia/Europe & hell even Antartica knowing Dubai. 'Here for a good time not a long time'.

So THAT is why Supercar Blondie is now living in Dubai. No tax. Now I gotta go book my ticket.
Haha, it's not all it seems like there, I used to live there till like 2 years ago and unless you're a multi national millionaire or something your best bet is to stay where you are, no kidding...
The tax they were taking about was just income tax, the rest of the expenses that are to be paid for an expat living there are just way too much for a normal person...
And about them making money from oil, that was many years ago, now it's mainly the tourism and the money they squeeze from said expats so yeah just keep these things in mind if you are even close to thinking of doing something like this...
@@nexusproductions2064 why?
No she used to work for virgin radio there before
@@nexusproductions2064 you’re right! Dubai is a massive mirage in the desert! It’s a big Ponzi scheme that’s created by the rulers of the kingdom aka the government. But like every scheme, there are some winners ( expat opportunists aka rich ppl and most locals) and lots of losers ( the average joe, mostly immigrants doing all the grunt work). This is eventually going to implode cause the novelty of the place is quickly disappearing so no tourism and no more oil money to bail them out! This is common knowledge to anyone who’s spent any time there.
@@banestock That makes a lot of sense. I was thinking about how Dubai's riches won't last forever.
That SRT-4 with the proper mods is a beast by the way.
Yep, personally saw an Audi R8 abandoned in a corner of a parking lot

Just before I left the military, I’ve always heard stories of people abandoning their supercars in the desert when they run out of fuel. I always thought it was a bs... until now. And I left the military in 2007. So imagine how many supercars are really abandoned since.
Most are abandoned at the airport carpark. The owners go on a short trip o/seas. ANd never use the return portion.

I've been to Dubai, its ridiculous what you can buy there, gold in vending machines, BMWs at the airport, all kinds of things. And it is sad seeing these amazing cars just sitting there rotting away.
Also it sometimes needs one sand storm to make it look like it's abondoned.
so morale of the story: if you live in dubai, pay everything outright
Exactly. Less headache and you don't have to go to jail for it
