Good thing the locals know their Landcruisers

Walked my way on a government office and saw a whole line of Landcruisers parked in the parking lane...and they all look the same white thingie that when you see them at one time how are you so sure this was your Landcruiser and this was my Landcruiser? LOL

The only difference was either somebody has a Land Rover, or somebody has a Lexus, or somebody has a gray shade of Landcruiser car paint tint, and these different types have an odds ratio of about 1:4 to 1:8 variations in the said parking lot.

you make a sharp observation. I think my father, himself a rather devout older muslim made the same remark at a supermarket here, "How's he gonna find his wife, you can't see any of their faces! Imagine all the things you could get away with wearing that!"

And that pimped out landcruiser...CARBAGE as top gear would say. There's of course that old adage about turds and polishing...

it's called evolution, they used the same theory when they had to pick up their camel in the parking lot.

whilst their camels looked exactly the same they all essentially had varying degrees of emissions, unfortunately some from both ends.

Ya you find your mother if you know her Hand bag..... :)

Somehow knowing your car is possible....

even the non locals... if your car is parked with similar looking car/ we know which one is yours....

for me the design of dust helps me... for cleanliness oriented guyz... no idea... :)

At least these child still can see faces on abaya. Burqa will make the matter worst.

Don't be silly, those red and gold squiggles on the sides of the Land Cruisers are ALL different! Very distinctive and doubtless reflective of the owners' unique personality.

When I park my car, I am so sure it will be waiting for me when I walk back to it. It doesn't move on its own, so its easy. I remember :D

about how locals find their cars....but I've often wondered how little kids find their mothers in a crowded group of women all clothed alike in black abayas (especially the kind with only the eyes showing).

Naah, they're like community bicycles in other parts of the world. Take whichever one you need.

The alarm system would differ. Got lost? on the alarm momentarily from your key pad, and you will know which one is yours
