A Few Popular Vehicles

Here are some photos of some of the more popular vehicles found here in Riyadh. I realize the last post was quite boring so don't throw any virtual eggs at me.

My findings are not scientific but I would dare say the Toyotas are the most popular here. Starting with the Camry, the Land Cruisers and Hilux pick ups (sweet little beauties, very practical and rugged).

Driving is very very very dangerous here and probably the most stressful thing one encounters while living here. Very Dangerous.

8 Door Suburban
Talk 'bout family oriented. You rarley find two door vehicles here in Riyadh but this is kind of "extreme". EIGHT doors count them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (not counting the tail). This one was for sale.
NICE! Notice the Lexus wheels on this two door Toyota Land Cruiser. What a vehicle.
Four Door Toyota Hilux a favorite with the youth, enough power and a light rear end. Good combination for a lot of tire spinning.
Ol' School Toyota Land Cruiser. You see lot of the old and new on the roads. Just straight practical. Get the job done.
Six door GMC Suburban. "Gymz" they are called by the locals not gee-m-cee.
I have many more vehicle will post later , insha'Allah

How much do those cars run in Riyals and how realiable are they as far as repair costs?
