I saw a Local Guy driving FJ Cruiser in Doha and a tiger was sitting on the front seat of the car with his head outside of the right window. It is real, not a joke.

I've been driving in my car, it's not quite a jaguar

I've been driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far

I drive up to the pearl, and toot my horn at the girls

I drove along the corniche, looking for a sandy beach

I like driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far

I like driving in my car, even with a flat tyre

I like driving in my car, it's not quite a jaguar

I like driving in my car, I like the roundabout in Qat-aar!

Put her in the defensive driving course..... A good driver observes all the potential hazards around him/her and take actions appropriately.... Be proactive.... be safe. Your loved ones are waiting for you back home. They need you back, intact. Stay safe and have a great day.
