Lamborghini owner (publicly) demolishes his car!

[gotvtec?]

Car driving is one of the pleasurable acts in our daily lives. Though one has to deal with irritants like traffic, tickets, pollution, increasing fuel prices, etc. most of us are still able to tolerate all of these minor irritants with the hope of having a great drive in the evening or over the weekend or the upcoming vacation that puts a smile on one's face.

One thing that hurts any car owner the most is a defective car and that too if the car is defective from the source. i.e. cars with manufacturing defect. This should be one of the most (if not the most) frustrating moments a person could have. Increase the frustration levels exponentially if the car is new.

I came across an article where a man hires a few men, organises an event and publicly demolishes his Lamborgini Gallordo to teach the Lamborgini Family a lesson in Customer satisfaction and PR. Could you be more dramatic than this?

I'm really upset that article is blocked at work. I'ma have to jump on on my phone.
Reguardless, the title is hard enough to read. Pretty much, Lamborghini still wins. He did pay for the car. They got their money.

His lambo was facing some probs even after a service at his local lambo service center, so he decided to hire some construction workers with hammers to crush up the car in front of news cameras

motor was dead within the first 6 months. went to lambo to get fixed, didnt get fixed. was returned with a damaged bumper however. lambo said tough luck. owner says **** you, here's what i think of your customer service.

epic lol

if he really wanted to make a statement... id have paid someone to swap in a ferrari motor in it..

[morla]

they didn't even do a good job smashing it. One of the guys just kept hitting the same spot and didn't even put a dent in it

[DPancoast]

thats pretty interesting

[AutobahnRacer]

Crazy bastards. Too much to read, but the pictures are quite upsetting.

Knowing the amount of American debt the Chinese government owns along with the government heavily investing in their quasi-free market this guy probably has tons of more cash to throw at other exotic cars.

He paid about 600k for the Lamborghini....they are much more expensive in China.

I was waiting for one of the sledgehammer guys to pull back in the vid and knock that camera guy out

[itwillboost]

This is insane. Clearly the guy has way to much money if he hires people to destroy his own stuff. I see this has a gross waste of money rather than a vindicated stand.

[Zdrummer15]

So he bought a Gallardo, then because Lamborghini failed to fix it and messed up the bumper a little, he decided it might as well just be completely destroyed? I really don't think Lamborghini will give a damn about this. The whole thing just seems like a way to show off how much money he has.

[jrkal]

Let's all write this one off as another reason why Communism is FTL

[TNTramair]

he paid $289,000 for the car...its right there in the article.

[FocusDude]

I saw this on the news the other day, I thought he let his workers smash it, or say they reported

This is nothing compared to what has happened to the trillions of dollars the Sultan of Brueni and his family have spent on cars. They are just rotting away-

[JSpecV03]

i dont think he maid any kind of a statement. he paid for the car, lambo got their money and thats all they care about. only thing he is making a statement to is his wallet as he just wasted all the money. if you can afford a lambo you can afford to fix it at all costs.

i like the idea of the Ferrari engine. I would have atleast done it outside of the Lambo plant and had the workers wearing Ferrari shirts
