    Range Rovers once again living up to their legendary reliability. That car can't be older than 7 years or so.

    Wow. Even the junkyard cars in Qatar are worth more than my car.

    I would prefer that circa '79 Mazda 929 lurking behind the burnt out Bentley. With the Bentley engine in it... Consequently, I find myself wondering how many engine swaps began with spotting a fortuitous pairing such as this in a junkyard somewhere?

    Some of these are in decent shape. Is this what happens in Qatar when your ashtray is full?

    Thanks for posting, Rashid. You are my new Qatar Hero.

    @VeeArrrSix: It doesn't even look wrecked. It just has flat tires. All you have to do is replace the tires, put the Bentley engine in it, and then race it at Lemons.

    There's a reason some of these vehicles still appear to be in good shape. They are clearly part of Qatar's "Riyal For Rides" economic stimulus package.

    Doesn't take much to send your ride too the knackers in Doha. Quite a shame. I hope the engine from that Bentley can find a good home. Somehow this affects me more than dropping by the animal shelter.

    One just has to wonder exactly what that Camaro had under the hood at one point. I know there are some crazy cars that get built here and shipped over there.

    Anyone want to guess? I'm thinking a Pro-Stock style mill, couple of Dominators on a 2' tall high rise.

    In a few years, I plan on making a trip to Dubai to pick up a few Enzos Veyrons, Maybachs, RRs, and an assortment lesser super and luxury cars on the cheap. Might pick up a few skyscrapers and artificial island developments too. Provided of course that the dollar is worth more than a nickel at that point...

    We need a picture of some automotive fail epic enough to P-shop Michael Phelps in front of it...but don't stop there, posing in front of Mr. Phelps is Civic Kid and in front of HIM is SLR guy! It'd be like the Jalopnik Failcon. #michaelphelps

    I think Michael can only aspire to schumuck.

    The car(s) and clothes say douche, but Phelps' pose in all these pictures say DORK.

    In reply to This Is Exactly Why People Think Michael Phelps Is A Schmuck
    I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that this is probably not the best look for Michael. The capri-length pants make him look short-legged, especially with the band of light trim across the hems. And while the shoes blend in perfectly with his pasty flesh, they make him look top heavy because the shoes are so dainty. The big square blob of a sweater does highlight his shoulders, but certainly adds some poundage through the mid-section. But we can be thankful that it's not a baja, at least. And finally we come to the tiny head perched atop the shoulders. I think it's a fashion no-no to cram what looks like a simple beanie onto your modestly sized cranium; sure, we all know there's a bill on the back, but the first impression in some half-assed school uniform run amok.
    No, no, Michael. You are not playing to your strengths here. Unless this is your Halloween costume and you're going as every 420 douchie frat rat ever. #michaelphelps

    @Novaload: Part of the problem is that Michael is proportioned a little differently than the average person. He is 6'4", but has the legs of a 6' person and the torso of someone who is 6'8". Those proportions, combined with his disproportionately large hands and feet, help make him a great swimmer, but can make him look awkward out of the pool. His baggy shirts, capri-length pants, and flip-flops only exaggerate this.

    I would advise Michael to wear jackets and shirts that end a little higher on his torso, a higher rise pant (pinstripes on the pants would also give the illusion of longer legs), and shoes with a 1" or 2" sole. In the summer months, he should wear shorts that hit just above the knee.

    As for his head, he might want to grow his hair out a little and get a perm, to give the appearance of more mass. #michaelphelps
