Can anyone shed some light on this picture??

[fordOwner]

Can you tell me why they are doing this?
I found this picture saved on my computer, I cant remember saving it but im curious to know why the poor car is getting this treatment.

From memory Chinese businessman got a bit sick of all the issues with the car and decided to make a bit of a scene out of it smashing it up.

Failing that, it's how you go for a hail damage claim in Frankston.

[MWTB]

AN IRATE owner of an "'unreliable"' Lamborghini called in workers with sledgehammers to destroy the car in public after the makers allegedly failed to fix it.

The Lamborghini Gallardo L140 luxury sports car - worth the equivalent of $400,000-plus in Australia - had recurring problems after the owner purchased it in October last year, it was claimed.

But far from fixing the problem, the dealership managed to mess up the bumper and chassis when it was in their care, according to reports in China.

So the Chinese entrepreneur decided to pummel his pride and joy on World Consumer Rights Day by hiring a group of workers, giving them sledgehammers and letting them do the rest.

Hey, not to worry ........ It's just a Lambo!!

If it was an FPV, then I'd have tears streaming down my eyes right now

[Kryton]

What makes it funny is that anyone of those people smashing it would have happily taken it regardless of the issues it may have had.

In future if you ever have a picture like this, just take the image link and put it in google and then press enter, then it'll say it can't find it and ask if you would like to search by image. Click that and it'll find whatever articles that image is embedded in

I could have googled "Lamborghini sledghammers" or something to that effect and it may of come up anyway.
Interesting pic never the less.
Sorry if its a repost.

Does anyone else think those guys are swinging the sledge hammers like fairys,

Or, the sledge hammers have rubber safety heads,

Or, the Lambo is made from granite.

The damage doesn't reflect the size of those hammers... Look at the length of the handes, why does one of them look like its bent. Obviously not good quality hickory....

Melbourne hail does more damage lol

Bamboo does not make a good handle.

I guess they put the same effort and quality into destroying a car as they do designing and building one.

Haahaa, have to agree, the guy in the black suit seems to be doing the most damage. He's probably the owner, and the rest look like they really would like to take it easy so they could sneak it home afterwards and "buff it out"!!!

Sledgehammers are probably made in China, hence they are rubbish like most stuff that comes from there.

Its like buying stainless steel utinsels from China that rust the first time you wash them. Stainless must be different in China
