New drift park in Saida
The below video was shot at a new drift park in Saida started by a couple of guys welcoming racers who want to bring it to the track (for a certain fee I suppose) instead of the street.
Unknown lady blocks Hamra street!
According to this Facebook page, some unknown lady driving a black BMW with tinted windows in Hamra today afternoon, refused to stop for the police who apparently wanted to check the tint license, and decided to block the whole street when he insisted!
No matter how important this lady is, it would be a real shame if the ISF let her get away with what she did. She cannot cause people to get stuck in a traffic jam for no reason except that she thinks she’s above the law, especially in a business center area like Hamra. I hope no one was being rushed to a nearby hospital and ended up getting stuck there!

How do people get away with this?
On the occasion of the security month (Al Shaher Al Amni), one of the blog readers sent me these two photos taken at the same time for two cars, a BMW and a Porsche, having the same plate number!
Red Bull Car Park Drift Lebanon 2012
Do they all suck or what?!
We love Mercedes Benz and we like them white
Mireille, probably the geekiest blogger in Lebanon, made two interesting charts showing the most popular car brands and colors in Lebanon, most probably by making use of the Lebanese cars database that was leaked earlier.
The most popular brand unsurprisingly turned to be Mercedes Benz with 22% (mostly taxis?), while the most popular color turned to be white with 19%.
What was really interesting to know though is that 57% of the Lebanese cars are more than 20 years old, and 83% are more than 11 years old! Tells a lot about our purchasing power…
Footages of the internal security forces breaking into a BMW
An anonymous reader sent me these 2 videos showing members of the Lebanese internal security forces breaking into a BMW and driving it away to probably clear the street for a convoy or something…
Knowing that the authorities collect the phone number of all car owners in Lebanon, couldn’t they have looked up the owner’s phone number through his plate number and told him to just come and park it somewhere else? Or why not using a car carrier to move it away instead of breaking into it?
Also, notice how easy it is to steal a car, the whole thing doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes!
Partying on the highway
I was on my way to Beirut on Sunday when I saw these guys literally having a party on the highway all the way from Halat to Jounieh!
Everyone in the car was standing, including the driver…
… since he can drive with his feet!
They kept exchanging CD’s with the Picanto on the left.
“the party don’t start until I walk in” more wazawiz are here!
Surprisingly (or not), there were several policemen on the road and none of them bothered to stop that car!
That’s definitely taking “wazwaza” to a whole new level!
Footage of a car theft in Hadath
This is a video of a REAL car theft that has occurred on saturday morning, the thieves as you will see were acting so cool and appear to be professionals! It only took them 2 attempts to unlock and turn on the car. The whole thing was captured on some security camera installed by one of the street residents.
I found it weird when the video said the stolen car is a 1988 BMW 323. Correct me if I am wrong, but thieves usually target new cars, don’t you think this car might end up being used in a car bombing?
