The land of cheap decides to destroy a Lamborghini.
If you’re a supercar-lover, avert your eyes.
A disgruntled Chinese millionaire who clearly had enough of his expensive, but problematic, Lamborghini Gallardo took out his frustration by hiring a crew to destroy the posh car in front of stunned spectators.
The cruel public execution took place Tuesday to mark World Consumer Rights Day.

The driver, who bought the second-hand car in Qingdao for 1,900,000 yuan ($284,124 Cdn), became enraged after the engine failed to start last November.
Further troubles ensued after the Qingdao Lamborghini dealership damaged the bumper and chassis while towing the lame car to the garage.
To top it all off, the garage failed to fix the malfunctioning engine and the dealership refused to take responsibility for any damages.
The driver reportedly tried reaching out to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann. But after receiving no response to his appeals for help he decided to take matters into his own hands by hiring a demolition crew to dish out some public revenge on the Italian beauty.
The man said he hoped the car’s ugly death by sledgehammer would send a message to carmakers that better after-sales service in China, especially for luxury cars, is desperately needed.
it has held up better then I ever thought it was going to watch the video .not many cars can hold up that well to beating of sledge hammers these days .
the Last time I was Talking to myself . I got into such a heated argument . that is why I swore I never talk to that guy again. you know what it worked now no buddy talking to me.
i know it's the owner's property and can do what they want with it, but some good could have come out of it. make a display of it, charge admission, donate the funds from the tickets...something. just sell it for cheap to someone else (cheap, like $100K...) and donate the money to charity...but just to waste it....
