Does anyone know anything about those plates? You want to talk about wasting money, look it up and read about it.

They have auctions for license plates; plates with reiteration of digits (ie 444 or 55555) or single digits (ie 1 or 3) are the most. CNN has something on it last week where someone bought the "5" plate for something like a few million for his Bentley or other high-priced car. It's just stupid money.

Yeah I was watching an auction on TV for the lowest plates. I guess, the lowest plates are the best or the most respected.

Its not racism, its truth. You have to have a good chunk of change to buy a dunkin donuts franchise. Most of the people who own them come from very wealthy Indian families.

Here is a quote from the dunkin donuts franchise website on the kind of money needed to buy one.


FAQ

How much cash or liquid assets will I need?
Some markets require a minimum number of units developed. If you are investing in the development opportunity for five Dunkin' Donuts® restaurant franchises, the minimum liquidity required is $750K; your net worth must be at least $1.5 million depending on the markets in which you will operate.

Then explain exactly what "RRR" is then? Some company that paints exotic cars orange and black? What is so cool about that? Looks like a status, trend thing going on here.

You obviously like flaunting pics of hot rides from the Middle East, it seems. Why is that? We are all aware that certain pockets of people in the Middle East are very wealthy, and it is stereotypically rooted from oil.

Not trying to be mean, but please explain your pics when you put them up, b/c the majority of us are not going to know the background on "RRR".

Actually these are all cars owned by a Sheik in the Middle East. He has a pretty big collection, and this is only a small portion of his collection. Not exactly sure what the "RRR" is for but, I think "Rich in Real estate Resources", as playr158 said before pretty much sums it up.

He's up there very high in the status, so he gets what he wants...... even multiple lisence plates that are the same(couple of the ones with the same numbers have diff tags though, like the rolls has a rolls specific tag motif with the numbers, the others are just common plates for the territory)

Dan, you posted a pic of a very rich Indian guy. I made a joke that, that same guy is probably the owner of my local Dunkin Donuts. The joke was that he is so wealthy, yet he pretends to be just a clerk working minimum wage, and looks at me funny when I don't throw my change in his tip jar.
The joke rings true because most Dunkin Donuts are owned by Indian families with a minimum net worth of 1.5million dollars, yet they leave tip jars out and pretend like they are just minimum wage workers.

Get it? Good... now lets move on.

This guy is clearly a baller. Props to him.

Why hasn't anyone pointed out the sheer irony that the very region of the world that hates Westerners, particularly Americans, most for our capitalist ideals is the same origin of the cars in these pictures?

There's a much greater picture that I think has been missed here.

And yeah, btw it's true, India is NOT considered the Middle East. And no, the guy in that picture is not Indian. wink.gif

You are correct, capitalism and democracy is there, it's just only allowed within small groups of the already rich/powerful(to include their offspring)

There are many reasons and its mainly hatred that's sprouted from many many years ago, maybe not even directly to that country but middle easterners(usually) are a very close knit people with each other(no matter how much they talk about each other that are from other countries/regions)

Here's a question.... how many countries has the US sided against and actually followed through with military action against that had a mcdonalds in that country at the time? how bout a starbucks? this is all tied in with part of the bigger picture and the history and present in the region.

I think India, Pakistan etc..are usually referred to as in the Asian sub-continent, not middle east... and the guy posing in that pic with the lion was viciously mauled by a pack of lions seconds after (lol, not really...but such a shame!).
