Thailand Crushes $1.2 million Ferrari

A 456GT is worth $1.2 million? What planet are they on?

 

"The brilliant officials are seen here inspecting a Ferrari 456 GT, worth $1.2 million in Thailand, soon to be worthless."

1.2 millions Thai Bhat is about 38K USD.

 

Did you see the pimped out steering wheel, maybe thats the extra $1.1 Million.

WTF.......I know where I would now send mine to start a new stable!!!!!!!

that can't be in US dollars....must be bhat.

Wonder what the Serial Number was....need to take off the registry.

 

I don't get why they crush it. Why don't they sell it for a profit?

 

Because they think it'll teach importers a lesson.

 

You´re not the only who thinks that...

 

Someone tell Bush that Thailand is in need of a regime change.

 

LOL funny..........................

 

When did we send over some of our wonderfully efficient gub-mint werkurz?? I'm just glad that they know how to spend my $$$ better than I do.......in the same brilliant way.

 

Should send them ideas on how to help their people ... instead of political / publicity stunts... what a waste.

of course you do run the risk of " no thai food for you 2 years"

 

You folks are assuming that these people have some form of intelligence.

 

Poor little 456, that just breaks my heart

 

Thailand has a 400% (or something like that) duty on imported cars. Where's Patpong? He'll know the number.

It hard to figure out why stupid people do what they do. Two words come to mind "Brain damaged"

 

Yes... duties in other parts of the world are not as friendly as the US. Trinidad duty used to be 100% of hte price of the car PLUS displacement tax which gets exponentially higher once you pass 3.0L

 

Because they're STUPID! Plain and simple.

 

If that backhoe had just rolled to the right..........

 

Sad.

 

Idiots, look that up in the dictionary.

Oh yeah that'll learn em...morons.

 

If they want to teach the importers a lesson, they should put them in the car before they crush it.

Takes care of the recidivism problem

 

The law staes that any car bought into Thailand that has had the VIN numbers altered in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM deems the car unregisterable and therefore must be crushed. From the looks of the photos there could be somethings that could be salvaged.

But remember that right now in Thailand there is NO GOVERNMENT whatsoever, when they had the coup they ruled that ALL parties were corrupt and now it is still the military in power who have doubled military budgets. Go figure. There is no such thing as military intelligence.

 

Is there no law? why don't they give the owner the right to ship the car back to it's place of origin? I mean ok if they don't want it that is one thing but why destroy it before letting the owner get it back?
