This only happens in Lebanon

On the way to the airport we hit a traffic jam. Apparently there was an accident and all we can do is wait.
Ramzi tried to re-assure us:
"when I took Zahi's wife to the airport, there was also an accident and we got stuck for 3 hours. She missed the plane. It was a real mess"
... not sure it helped much.
Anyway after 15min or so, we saw the cars involved and some people pushing them away. Seemed like we would not spend 3 hours there :)
There were some policemen standing there, I believe to help fix the situation and handle the traffic.
When we passed by, one of the policemen asked to stop. Gee, what now?!?
He asked a few questions to my cousin and then waved us to go away. You would never guess what he asked. He liked the Jeep of my family so much, that right, in the middle of a traffic jam, with hundreds of car waiting behind, he took the opportunity to ask the price of the car and the options included.
Still can't believe it.
