This kind of driving is all over the middle east / asia. My cousin who is from / lives in India does all that kind of crazy driving in the street with other drivers in Mercedes and Lexi (plural of lexus...lol) and they are the most wreckless and awesome drivers I have ever met. I drove with my cousin once when I was over there last....never again.
And btw, Sonatas, Sentras, Corrollas, and all those other lower model cars are not the same in the middle east. Some of them even can beat a MB; I saw a Nissan Sunny (Sentra over here) beat the hec out of a MB once in pakistan.
