Rallying is no "powder-puff go-kart race.

I'm inclined to believe that the Arab Emirates held a powder-puff go-cart event and called it a "rally." Not that this woman participated in an actual Rally.

I'm really disappointed in freeperlandia. As I read this story, I was impressed by the fact that this small country is encouraging freedom and capitalism and is thriving. My grandmother was born in 1888. She never wore pants and she never learned to drive but she was a strong and wonderful person. I don't know why people on this thread feel that it's fun to attack this young woman. Someone please explain that to me.

Agreed the sentiments in your comment. I cannot understand the ignorant comments either. It seems to represent the worst of what the world considers the American attitude. Don't forget this site is visited by others than US citizens.

The majority of correspondents could probably not even identify the UAE on the map, much less list the Emirates that comprise it. They do not comprehend what this young woman stands for and they sure as hell don't understand what a car rally is.. it surely isn't a go-kart race.
