If those cars are dustier then yours, you should be ashamed, I can send you a california duster if that's the case.

Sad seeing so many fun cars just wasting away. But, then again, when they decide to ever drive them, they'll likely be a ton of issues with them due to sitting for so long.

I am ashamed, people who know me would think my cars like, clean or.. god forbid, waxed... and WoW, that's a very kind offer... last time I got something to well, you know, the club, sorta gave my car a detailing... I turned around and gave it to one of those wax and wash guys... he loved it... so... have to think of who'd like a California duster... sounds like a nice gift for one of our buds..

my S sits, a garage queen.. I do parent care now, Mom can't passenger in the S any longer, too low, too loud, too much.. so I bought an Element.. it's so not the same.. but hey.. the guy on two wheels, cutting the apex... it's me.. front wheel drive... i'm getting it an aero kit

Never been there, but isn't the technical definition of Dubai... dust? Maybe these are cars that just haven't been washed in the past six hours.

Imagine what baking in desert heat does to any car. These exotics are probably approaching the point of no return no matter where in the world they are.

I've read (a couple places) that many of these supposed abandoned cars aren't really such; they are just very dusty!

Cars do get left behind from those fleeing debt (no bankruptcy in Dubai), but the police are fairly quick to impound and auction the cars.

This is my understanding as well. Allegedly (sure someone will correct me) having a debt will land you in prison, and you are not let out until someone pays the debt for you. People get in over their head, can't pay, and leave the car at the airport then leave the country for good. Hence, these cars likely sit and rot.
