Every second Chevrolet Camaro in the UAE seems to sport an Autobots badge in homage to the muscle car's role as the <em>Transformers</em> character Bumblebee. <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/the-seven-weirdest-things-for-sale-on-dubizzle-1.618255">Last year, we reported how a real-life Batmobile was among the strangest items ever sold on Dubizzle</a>.
