    Except he'll probably get a new car and the best service ever as a result

    Maybe the eBay ad could read, "This one off version has hand-hammered aluminum panels by skilled crafstmen".

    If this is the attitude of the super rich Chinese to solve issues, I really wonder what they do to their employee when they are not happy with them...Was the guy a governement official ?
    The wild west has definitely moved West off the West coast..

    Why? because the products put out from China are such high quality.
    That's why... LOL

    Dear God.....Roy has made it clear that we are losing Diablos in the US, I really hope they don't end up like this in China.

    I don't think Chinese are interessted in old cars like a Diablo :) most of them prefer the latest ones. The oldest exotics I've seen in China were 360 Modenas...

    ouch. that hurts my soul. I hate to see nice cars destroyed in the movies too. Although a lot of them are faked or a "stunt junker" is used in the actual crash.

    Just hurts that someone (like me) usually has worked hard a long time to acquire such a thing. and this guy just destroys it to... make a point?

    I just don't think too many people are gonna feel sorry for the "consumer rights" of a disgruntled Lamborghini owner.

    this was a publicity stunt by the owner who is a renovation/construction material trader, who has one of the biggest home/office renovation products showroom in qingdao.

    this happened right outside his showroom/warehouse with advertisements of his business everywhere around.

    his gallardo was a fresh import from USA, wasn't even NEW or BOUGHT from the dealership in CHINA! Lambo tech over there said his car was damaged/repainted, had several modifications to the suspensions prior to his importation. i personally think he imported a dud gallardo knowing it won't work properly, cheaper way for an advertisement.

    If that's the case, then the publicity stunt worked! I'm seeing this on every forum I visit.

    Hahaha Bam. You know you have too much money when you can comfortably do that to your Lambo.

    Are you saying this is extortion to obtain a new one locally in China? Hush money?

    You make it sound like it is shear arrogance, always thought that Chinese society was one of respect.

    no, this whole thing was a plug for his business.

    and if he makes it big enough, maybe they'll give him a new car.

    Chinese society ain't what it use to be, too little percentage of the population show any sense of honour and respect. hope things will change soon tho.

    Kelsa: That could definitely be the case and the guy probably tried to follow Eddie Griffin's foot step.

    If I am that owner then I would take it to a junk yard and have them press the car into a cube then ship it back to Lambo headquarter.
