Doha Days Car Registration Again!

Yes, it has been a one year and here we go again...car registration on the Jeep. Of course, it did not pass..its a 2001 how could it, honestly! Who was I kidding? The back tail light cover was cracked, not broken, busted or not working just cracked...next, they claim we needed new brakes..they were replaced three months ago so what is up with that...next the license plate numbers were faded to a light black not a black, black. So here we go..the guy I hired, Surish had to take the car to get a new light cover, take black paint and paint over the black numbers on the license plate, polish the front bumper which by the way had to be painted last year for a scratch on it. Then he had to take the car to this company who took off the wheels, blew off some dust and put the wheels back on to say the brakes were great...yes they were great! Cost 300 QR for absolutely no reason at all. All in all, I had to pay 1,250 QR to deal with this annoying issue. Highway robbery is what it is but not a darn thing can be done about it. After all we are in the "Land of Sand"!
