it's true, there are crazy drivers out there - but alot of them are taxi drivers!!

I bought myself a cheap land rover, because I wanted to surround myself with as much bulk as I could, barreling down sheikh zayed road. It's a red tank and you can't miss me. To me, visibility and ability to take a crash and come off better than the other person is most important. Having said that, my husband thinks manouverability and control is most important, so he has a smaller, easier to drive car.

sgilli, I can't believe you have lived here three years without a car of your own. I could think of nothing worse than waiting in the heat for a cab with three kids :/
