Man destroys his own Lamborghini

I suppose all depends on economies of scale, I could afford to buy a banger for a grand and drive it repeatedly into a tree, I suppose you could call me a muppet for doing so but I would expect I'd enjoy it :p

same for this guy, just on a slightly more expensive scale
 
ah well each to their own, probably a tax write off anyway and by the sounds of the article some nice free advertising.

if it gets the right marketing result then I guess £60k isnt the end of the world

Not really.

A Lamborghini Gallardo was destroyed by a group of men in the Chinese city of Qindao. The owner of the Italian sports car decided to smash it to show his disappointment with Lamborghini.

The Lamborghini Gallardo was bought six months ago, but the engine failed to start on November 29, 2010. The owner contacted the Lamborghini dealer in Qingdao and they transported the Gallardo to their maintenance center. The engine problem wasn’t solved, but instead the bumper and chassis were damaged by the transport. The owner complained by the dealer but they refused to take responsibility in this matter, so the angry owner contacted Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, the brand’s China headquarters, its after-sales service manager for Asia-Pacific region, and the brand’s owner Volkswagen Group, but the problem was not solved.

Angry about the service, the owner felt his consumer rights were ignored. So he decided that the best way to gain attention was to destroy his car on the 15th of March, which is also World Consumer Rights Day. Apparently, he hired people to publicly destroy his car with hammers and make his statement. This protest was made to provoke public support and goad the manufacturer to respect his consumer rights.

Good to see an apparent rubbish dealership get humiliated, maybe they'll look after customers more in future.

Marketing T-cut would be great, 30 second spot, an enormous accident followed by a shower of t-cut and as the huge amounts of t-cut washes away the cars are revealed reverted to pristine.

Finishing strapline.. "it'll t-cut out"
 
Would have considered doing it right outside the deal, after leaving it therefore a fortnight with banners advertising the forthcoming smashing.

Being china though the car may haev "disappeared" before then though

True, although I'd have chosen the blender method. Will it blend? :D

Or "We wish our product was THIS good, but it's not. T-Cut, removing minor paint defects like it always did - still"
