Been in Kuwait for three years and can certainly confirm no shortage of corvettes here.This website will give you what's available for sale/prices. http://www.q8car.com/English/main.as...bPage=CarsList
Have not found any qualified tuners, so you are at the mercy of the stealership-one only.

Check out the videos on his website....you will see that alot of his shots are done in Kuwait. He pieces them all together based on previously done publicity and film clips on Vettes, and shots of his own C6. And as an aside, and a woman, I really appreciate the fact that his videos concentrated on the CORVETTE and not cheap T&A shots. Excellent job! Really enjoyed watching them, and I know you will too.

I was at El Jaber in '99 and '01
Went to Kuwait City the first time, the second trip in '01 was during September, needless to say not much site seeing during that time

Don't live with, or rely on my folks... I bought/own my corvette, no payment plan here... (Grant it it's a 1997, but I'm still proud of the fact)
BTW, I'm in the military, so deployments helped me pick up the money somewhat quicker than your average person...

THere are lots of very fast cars in countries like that. Those rich young kids are absolutley NUTS!! THey are the most wild street racers on the planet. A lot of them make Vin Diesel in "fast and furious" look like a coward.
I've heard all sorts of stories from my deployed friends about how they will race down crowded city streets at over 150mph while betting thousands of dollars on the winner.
I'm a 23 year old with a C5 and I pay everything for myself. Another military guy. I'm not trying to steer the thread in the wrong direction though, so I typed this really small.
