Don't like your Lamborghini Gallardo? Then SMASH it to pieces...
Don't like your Lamborghni? Then SMASH it to pieces...
Lamborghini Gallardo Destroyed in China and Owner Han Nan Gives Green Light YouTube - 3.15 Lamborghini - just die Wreck This Lamborghini -- Please! It takes some muscle to destroy a muscle car. A team of sledgehammer-wielding men in China pulverized a new Lamborghini Gallardo with the owner's permission, because he was fed up with a mechanic who repeatedly failed to fix an engine problem, the Daily Mail reported. A businessman from the city of Qingdao in eastern China bought the souped-up Italian sports car in October for about $750,000, but that didn't stop him from reducing it to pile of scrap metal on Tuesday -- World Consumer Rights Day. Han Nan, the Lamborghini's owner, returned the flashy vehicle to the dealership in November to correct an engine malfunction. But the car came back from the garage in worse shape with a damaged bumper and chassis, the Daily Record said. Subsequent arguments that Han had with the managers at the dealership and Lamborghini officials went nowhere. Han, an entrepreneur with a wholesale lighting company, turned his personal frustration into a public spectacle. Crowds gasped as the demolition crew clad in blue uniforms and helmets totaled the car on the streets. At one point, the workers handed over the sledgehammers to the spectators and allowed them to join in the frenzy by climbing on top of the Lamborghini and smashing it. |

Classic case of principe. I think it was more important for this man to get the point across.

Principal? uh, maybe.
My bet is he was extremely pissed that he paid $750,000 for a car that had as MSRP of $198,000 http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Lamborghini_Gallardo/prices/ |

They must be using Harbor Freight Sledge hammers, because they seem scared to take a full swing with one.
