Five thousand years ago, the prehistoric monument we known as Stonehenge was erected. Some say it a temple, others that it's a giant clock or calendar, we think it's just cool. However, man still likes to build stone shrines to the gods to this day. To the gods of petrol that is.
In Saudi Arabia, the local Arabs spend hours building these elaborate stone pedestals underneath their cars. Why? Because they love them so much they want to show them off.

We really have no idea why they do this and how they get the cars so high up into the air as they do, but as long as they are enjoying it that's all that really matters.

The proud owners of these cars love them so much they spend hours building these elaborate stone pedestals, stone by stone, in order to display them to people traveling on the nearby highway.

You have to ask yourself what would happen if these Toyota lovers ever saw something like a Lexus LFA. They'd probably build another Stonehenge, wouldn't they!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
