Default Could you do this? Not me

I just don't think I could bring my self to do this to any car.

What do you do when you're unhappy with your Lamborghini Gallardo? Have the dealer take it back? Complain to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann? Get in touch with the service Manager for Asia-Pacific? Call upon parent company Volkswagen group?


One Chinese businessman did all these after his local Lamborghini dealer failed to fix a recurring problem on his Italian supercar, but to no avail. In the end he decided to hire a group of workers with sledgehammers to destroy the supercar- which costs the equivalent of a whopping £465k in China.

Apparently, after the car failed to start last November, it was taken away by the local dealer, who failed to fix the fault but managed to damage both the front bumper and the chassis before returning the car.

The businessman - a Mr Han - decided to pull the stunt on World Consumer Rights Day, to highlight his dissatisfaction with Lamborghini's customer service. Or perhaps he was just miffed that his Gallardo wasn't the newer LP560-4 model... what a bloody idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having had a Friday afternoon car in the past and dealers unable to fix the various problems, I can understand why someone would do this.

Yeah that's my car - so what of it sunshine eh? I like smashing stuff up, specially if it cost me lots of monies. Lambos a crap anyway I just bought it on a whim tbh, always was good at impulse buys.
