What are they doing!?
Saudi youths lift car with stones and bricks in the tourist area of al-Habla 50km south of the city of Abha in the southern part of the kingdom on July 12, 2012. Young Saudi males gather in al-Habla for a summer camp to escape the blazing summer heat and spend time mounting their cars on display.
Maybe it is the only way to keep the tires away from the heat to avoid melting tires!!

Bahrain is not for sale
Bahraini anti-government protesters stand close to makeshift roadblocks in Manama on March 14, 2011, a day after Bahraini police clashed with demonstrators trying to occupy Manama's banking centre.
On Friday tens of thousands of Bahrainis have rallied outside the capital, Manama, to protest against the proposed Saudi Arabia-Bahrain merger plan.
Marching under the slogan of '"Yes to Our Nation", Bahraini protesters jammed a major highway west of Manama to express their opposition to the Saudi bid for a closer union with Bahrain, saying their country is not for sale.
They also chanted slogans against their country's ruler, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
Saudi Arabia is seeking to initially create a closer union with Bahrain in line with plans to unify the six Arab member states of the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council.
Iran says the plan is aimed at quelling the protests in Bahrain as the Al Khalifa regime is unable to stop the peaceful demonstrations in the country.

What do the cars want!?

Her brother was also in the car while she was driving, and was also taken into condition.
The Saudi Arabian women are forbidden to hold high government office, vote or roam in public places without their man’s permission. However, Saudia Arabia’s government did give a hint that it wanted to lift the ban but fear of reprisal from religious leaders hasn’t allowed them to do anything formally.
