This is the moment a group of boiler suit-clad men smash a Lamborghini Gallardo up at the request – of its owner. The Chinese owner of the Italian supercar was so frustrated with the service from his local dealer he decided to show his anger in the most extreme of fashion.
So he employed a group of willing people from China’s eastern Shandong province, handed them sledgehammers and safety helmets and let them unleash their fury on the black Lamborghini. In the UK, the Gallardo costs a wallet-denting £140,000 but in China it would have cost the owner a staggering £465,000 ($750,000)

Crowds watched in shock as the group tirelessly went to work on the exotic motor which is understood to have suffered a catalogue of problems since it was delivered in October last year. The owner, a Chinese entrepreneur, is understood to have had the Lamborghini taken to the dealer in November to have an engine malfunction fixed.
However, the garage failed to fix the fault and somehow managed to damage the bumper and chassis in the process. After arguing with the dealership and various senior Lamborghini representatives, the owner decided the only way to protect his rights was to have the car smashed up – on World Consumer Rights Day.

Well, the wealthy in China are insanely insanely rich and love to spend obscene amounts just to show off they can.
This is just another publicity stunt I think...
WOW this is a shame. Why not donate some money instead of smashing up a car that 99% of the WORLD would never be able to afford. As a DISH customer and employee I was watching my morning news and saw a blurb on this and decided to investigate so with a click of the button I minimized the news into its own window in the corner of the TV and pulled up a web browser in the other using the Logitech Revue with Google TV. This guy doesn’t deserve a Lamborghini OR a Logitech Revue.
You'd have to be a bit of a prat to buy a Lamborghini, so to then smash it up in frustration sounds in character to me
I agree with Anonymous. This is a shame. I read this story while enjoying a delicious SNICKERS bar and was so miffed that I decided to indulge in another scrumptiously satisfying SNICKERS bar. SNICKERS!
That'll show those dealers!
More money than sense here...
