I don't think there's much justification for many of the big 4WD's we see around town (badly driven or otherwise). A huge percentage of locals and expats have at least one gas guzzling 4wd and how many actually use the car to go off-road every weekend / tow a boat / use the car for the purpose it was designed? Not that many I'll bet.
I'm not encouraging 4wd owners to rush down to the Inland Sea and start tearing up the desert btw - it's a total disaster down there now because of too many people leaving their filthy garbage behind (along with all their broken limbs - the weekend accident rate is unbelievable). The one area of natural beauty that Qatar is now totally destroyed. Will these people ever learn?
