Sons...of Zayid day

"Another beloved National Day tradition is the annual decorating of the SUVs, an appropriate tribute to a country built on oil, love of luxury and fervent nationalism. “We, as a people, love our cars and our leaders. This is the way we honor them,” Abdullah Awlaqi, 25, told the National, Abu Dhabi's English-language newspaper. His huge white Hummer was covered with more than 100 postcard-sized pictures of sheiks, flags and seven scarlet teddy bears representing the seven emirates." (thanks Dina)
