A Cruise Inside Dubai's Hottest Car & Motorcycle Cafés
Dubai hasn't forgotten its road warriors—the city's now full of pit stops made for your road-tripping soul. So hit the road, but don't forget to come back. These spots are worth it. Under the blazing Dubai sun, a break is non-negotiable. Whether you're biking with the heat beating down on your helmet (and your head), or stuck in traffic behind the wheel, your instincts know it's time to cool off. A quick drink? A laid-back brunch with the squad? Or maybe a dinner that ends in a glorious food coma? Whatever your style, a pit stop is a must. Luckily, Dubai hasn't forgotten its road warriors. Right in the heart of the UAE, there are now go-to spots made for your road-tripping soul. So yes, hit the road, Jack—but this time, make sure you come back. These places are worth it. DRVN by Porsche 📍 Bluewaters Island 🕒 8 AM to 2 AM You're getting the recipe straight from the chef himself—and it's called DRVN, by Porsche. What's on the table? Coffee, dinner, and a side of horsepower. DRVN is a restaurant—let's not pretend it's something it's not. But while you eat, you're surrounded by a lineup of rare, classic Porsche cars just casually flexing in the background. If you're one of those people who need something to look at while you chew, don't worry—DRVN's got your visual cravings covered. Bikers Cafe 📍 Jumeirah Beach Road 🕒 8 AM to 2 AM Its name says it all—a bike-themed café, the first of its kind in the Emirates. But beyond that, it serves a diverse menu, from traditional Emirati breakfasts to Mexican salads and burgers. And don't worry, it's family-friendly—so feel free to bring the kids along! 6.8 Cafe 📍 Al Quoz 🕒 8 AM to 10PM Vintage rides and retro vibes collide at 6.8 Cafe in Al Quoz. It's packed with classic cars you rarely see off a screen—and they're just chilling next to your table. You'll find a menu that goes global (American, Turkish, Arabic), and a boutique stocked with car-branded goodies. Nostalgia? Served daily. Cafe Rider Custom 📍 Al Quoz 🕒 8 AM to 7PM Coffee, leather jackets, and custom bikes—Cafe Rider Custom is where it all meets. Whether you're here to build your own ride or bring one in for repairs, you'll be welcomed with a bold cup of Colombian coffee that hits as hard as the engines around you. The café also stocks motorcycle gear, branded merchandise, accessories, and even brewing equipment. It's a haven where caffeine addicts and motorcycle lovers find common ground like two sides of the same coin—or should we say two cylinders of the same engine? Mille Miglia Gallery and Cafe 📍 Al Quoz 🕒 10 AM to 9PM If you count down to every Grand Prix like it's race day in Monaco, this spot is made for you. Mille Miglia Gallery and Café in Al Quoz is loaded with F1 memorabilia, sleek Ferraris, and signed gear from current stars Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc. And when it's time to cool down—we know the pressure's high—you'll find iced drinks, sweet treats, and plenty of coffee on deck. The Cars Cafe 📍 Dubai Autodrome 🕒 8AM to 8:30PM Coffee and breakfast? Souvenirs and gifts? Luxury car and bike wash? Formula 1 live streaming? This place checks every box—the ultimate hangout for road riders and motorsport lovers. Oh, and they've got something seriously cool on display: the legendary 1953 Porsche 356 'Pre-A' 1500 Super. It raced in the iconic Carrera Panamericana, driven solo by Guatemalan coffee mogul Manfredo Lippmann. He didn't finish the race, but his car was part of Porsche's first major victory in the Western Hemisphere. So yeah—you're literally dining next to history. Literally.

3 Cash-Burning Stocks That Concern Us
Companies that burn cash at a rapid pace can run into serious trouble if they fail to secure funding. Without a clear path to profitability, these businesses risk dilution, mounting debt, or even bankruptcy. Just because a company is spending heavily doesn't mean it's on the right track, and StockStory is here to separate the winners from the losers. Keeping that in mind, here are three cash-burning companies that don't make the cut and some better opportunities instead. Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -2.2% Known by many for its old cable television commercials, WeightWatchers (NASDAQ:WW) is a wellness company offering a range of products and services promoting weight loss and healthy habits. Why Should You Sell WW? Number of members has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management's past and current investment decisions Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders At $0.66 per share, WeightWatchers trades at 0.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you're considering WW for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more. Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -1.9% With approximately 5,000 locations across 49 U.S. states and 13 other countries, Driven Brands (NASDAQ:DRVN) operates a network of automotive service centers offering maintenance, car washes, paint, collision repair, and glass services across North America. Why Are We Wary of DRVN? Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management's recent investments are destroying value Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders Driven Brands's stock price of $17.57 implies a valuation ratio of 13.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why DRVN doesn't pass our bar. Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -3.1% Started with a $200 loan in 1880, Ball (NYSE:BLL) manufactures aluminum packaging for beverages, personal care, and household products as well as aerospace systems and other technologies. Why Is BALL Risky? Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth Demand will likely be soft over the next 12 months as Wall Street's estimates imply tepid growth of 2.9% Free cash flow margin shrank by 5.8 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive Ball is trading at $51.22 per share, or 14.5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than BALL. Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election sent major indices to all-time highs, but stocks have retraced as investors debate the health of the economy and the potential impact of tariffs.
