Modified Cars... Iraq Style



The fall of Saddam Hussein has enabled them to create their dream rides like never before. Hussein's notorious son Uday and his cronies personally controlled all car imports into Iraq. Uday was also a car freak known for on-the-spot confiscations of any vehicle that caught his fancy.

The end of the Hussein era opened Iraq's borders to an unrestrained flow of new and used cars, along with exotic parts and Western car magazines. The MTV show "Pimp My Ride" is now a popular feature on Arabic satellite television; Bilal Hussein, the Mustang driver who dreams of flaming mufflers, is a big fan.

The cars are a bit tacky, but hats off to them for doing it in iraq...

Over time they will be able to get more parts i assume, and what they do to their cars might start improving..

They gotta stop watching pimp my ride though Icon_lol
