Topic: Lemons cars but different.

What if there were tons of cars just sitting around collecting dust?

Maybe they should consider creating their own 24 of Dusty Lemons series.

Re: Lemons cars but different.

Is that an early-80s Quattroporte next to the DeLorean in the last photo?

Re: Lemons cars but different.

I think the strangest thing about that DeLorean is that it is appears to be RED underneath all that dust.

I imagine a lot of that story is horseshit considering the few examples shown and that the UAE is known for dust storms.

Re: Lemons cars but different.

Most of those are just kind of dusty, like they might get in a desert.  You know, like they have in Dubai?  Imagine what a car looks like after a sand storm.  Looks a lot like one of those.  They might have only been parked for 15 minutes, who knows.

Edit: haha, should have refreshed.

Re: Lemons cars but different.

considering the condition of some of the cars, i don't think it's false reporting. That Enzo did sit in a lot for over a year after being abandoned.

I want this to be true. They will probably make some "gone in 60 seconds: DUST" movie now

There was a delorean someone painted red that used to be parked all the time in Downtown Chicago.  Anyone who knew what it was thought it was the stupidist thing someone could do to that car.  Haven't seen it in years so maybe that is where it ended up.  Good to see it looks like its starting to shed its paint on its own.
