haha, can you imagine if it was ferrari? they way they handle PR you'd think they would order the franchise in question to close doors immediately and sue them for defamation.

Everyone is like what an idiot for destroying that beautiful expensive car. To him money is not important, he can probably buy ten of those Lambos. It's just about a principle and his dignity. I have personally been mucked around by a dealership when my power steering pump/rack wasn't fixed properly and you have to take it back to them several times and it can be quite frustrating, when something is faulty but they say everything is fine with your car. Obviously I am not rich enough to destroy my car to make a statement, but had I had sufficient funds to hire a militia to destroy my car, I probably would.

The most important thing out of all this is there is an almost brand new engine and trans sitting under that body that should be going cheap.. (sure I could come up with a project to fit it into!!)

Good on him!

This will make headlines all over the world - I hope Lamborghini pay big time in lost sales for screwing him around (I know we've only heard one side of the story). They can only lift their game to get out of this.

I would have happily paid money to smash it up though.

Why not smash up the dealership, not the car.

The car didnt do anything wrong!

My thoughts as well, if anything it helped the dealer out as they no longer have to worry about finding the fault :lol:
