At first the New York Times and many other major media outlets published that over 3,000 cars have been abandoned at the Dubai Airport as a result of the global recession. They claimed people were fleeing quick and heading back to their respective countries as visa’s were being canned.

According to the Arabianbusiness.com only 11 cars have been left at the Dubai Airport since January 1st, 2008. The chief of police reports no one “fact checked with him” on any of this information before publishing it.  Regardless of what is true the UAE is still largely a car culture country and as long as the country is still around we assume people will still be wielding amazing luxury machines that we can feature here.
