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..
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. Chris
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... Martin
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.
The story is getting quite a bit of traction. I just noticed a link to it on AOL news: http://www.aolnews.com/2011/03/18/lamborghini-gallardo-destroyed-in-china-and-owner-han-nan-gives The references to Consumer's Rights Days are probably part of the interest. -sc Image Unavailable, Please Login
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.
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.
