My car ... forgot about that


So here is my dinky toy ... I had a few options here, either go for some major big-ass beast like most people do, or some road hugging speed mobeel.

Cars in the UAE are really cheap compared to SA, I looked at a Toyota Prado 4L 4x4, but almost every person here drives one ... or a 4x4 Porsche ... then I thought ... why not buy a mid size 4x4, because parking in some places can be tough, and trust me, you don't want to get in and out of some parking spots with your Hummer H3.

So I decided to get a Chevy Captiva LTZ 4x4 (or rather AWD) and a Willies Jeep for the desert, kinda the best of both worlds.

The Chevy was cheap, 102K Dhs for full spec, sun roof blah di blah, to put that in perspective, in SA I'd pay R350K second hand for this, here in Dubai R214K new ...
