O<\/span><span>thers, including BMW, which recently <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2023\/01\/19\/local-bmw-assembly-is-back-courtesy-of-global-auto-group-93973\/\" style=\"\">restarted assembling<\/a><\/span><span> <\/span><span>cars in Egypt after Global Auto got the exclusive rights from BMW Group, are taking bookings six months ahead, <\/span><span>two industry insiders told us.<\/span><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Want a specific (fully assembled) car that\u2019s not available \u2014 and fast? Some dealerships allow you to pay in USD <\/span><span>in return for completely built cars that are stuck in ports in free zones, several industry reps told us. You will also need to pay the customs fee for your car, the sources said. Abou Ghaly Motors offers this option for Geely\u2019s electric Geometry C model, which will only be <\/span><span>sold to customers who can pay in USD through its freezone company in Alexandria, Kotb told<\/span><span> us<\/span><span>. <\/span><span>Car dealership<\/span><span> <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mig-trading.net\/\" style=\"\">MIG<\/a><\/span><span> also facilitates imports via freezones, and promises delivery within 60 days, according to a customer service rep we spoke to. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">When can we expect the car shortage to ease?

El Kotb, however, said it is premature to forecast when the shortage will ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Until then, what are people buying the most? Mercedes, apparently. <\/span><span style=\"\">Mercedes cars were <\/span><span>the most-registered of all car brands in January, <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3YRP3SV\" style=\"\">Al Mal<\/a><\/span><span> <\/span><span>reports, citing data from the <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ecipegypt.com\/\" style=\"\">Engineering Company for Integrated Projects<\/a><\/span><span> (ECIP)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">. Meanwhile, El Rawas Motors\u2019 most sold car brand in January was Audi, El Rawas said, adding that more high-end cars are often seen as an \u201casset\u201d among buyers, especially with prices expected to rise further as the EGP continues to weaken over the coming months. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span

We love stopping to pet their dogs; seeing them come together for doggy playdates, birthday parties, and brunches; and saying \u201cHi\u201d to Michael, the neighborhood\u2019s famous dog whisperer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"\">As much as I hate to be a party pooper, I must point out the obvious (to which so many are <\/span><span>oblivious): <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Your dog doing his business is, unfortunately, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700;\">your<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> business, too.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> We all share the same sidewalks and streets \u2014 streets on which you\u2019ve left an unmissable trail of doggy doo.

Hell, maybe you already have too much s*it in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">your own lives to even contemplate stopping to pick up more. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">But the rest of us don\u2019t care if you\u2019re lazy, distracted or nursing a herniated disc \u2014 you need to pick up after your fur baby. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Leaving dog poop in the middle of the street or sidewalk is bad for everyone \u2014 the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">environment, our health, and the health of other people\u2019s furry fiends.<\/span><span> The bacteria and parasites in dog poop is impressive: <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cfpub.epa.gov\/npstbx\/files\/cwc_petwastefactsheet.pdf\" style=\"\">A single gram of dog poop contains 23 mn fecal coliform bacteria (pdf)<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> \u2014 that's a lot of crap. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Wait, it gets worse: <\/span><span style=\"\">Roundworm, one of the most common parasites in dog waste, can remain <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">infectious in contaminated soil for years. And don\u2019t even get me started on salmonella, hookworm, tapeworm, giardia, and E. coli \u2014 all of which can transfer via waste to humans, to your own dog, or to others\u2019 four-legged friends. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">As a trained observer myself, I can confirm your dogs\u2019 treasure also attracts pests \u2014 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">flies, rats, and roaches<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">, all of which are vectors for disease. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">\u201cBut it\u2019s a fertilizer,\u201d you say.

But consider this: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Dog poop is a crappy fertilizer. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Cow manure is perfect \u2014 produced by animals that feed mostly on plants and rich in nutrients that helps grass grow. Dog poop, on the other hand, is highly acidic (most dogs have diets high in protein) and it can damage your lawn if you let it sit out for too long. Composting dog poop isn\u2019t an easy peasy process, either, considering the strict guidelines you need to follow to ensure all of the parasites and bacteria die.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Do you think I\u2019m bullsh*tting?<\/span><span style=\"\"> Go read <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doodycalls.com\/articles\/blog\/lawn-care-for-dog-owners\/can-i-use-dog-poop-as-fertilizer-in-my-garden-\/\" style=\"\">Can I use dog poop as fertilizer in my garden?<\/a><\/span><span style=\"\"> on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Doody Calls. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">And so it is that your dogs\u2019 feces sit royally in the middle of our streets waiting to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">decompose (a process that can take weeks)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">, presenting a health threat to everyone around you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">If you don\u2019t want to read articles beseeching you to clean up after your buddy, then <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">please take a minute to read the signs around you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u2014 including, in our neighborhood, around Cairo American College and the Angolan ambassador\u2019s residence.
