Kuwait: Bidding Eight Years of Fun Goodbye · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

Kuwait's Desert Girl has sold her car – after “8 years of fun: of donuts in
the desert; of boys chasing us; of us out-driving boys to the point
where they gave up after endless laps around roundabouts and mall
parking lots; of maniacal driving on the way to/from chalets, camps
and farms; of getting stuck in sand and looking pitiful until help
arrived; of little kids saying how pretty she was; 8 years of
rebellious anti-traditional female behavior in a fast, flashy car. 8
years of refusing to sell her to anyone.”
