Have you ever been soooo pissed off with the dealership you could have smashed your car?

Well this guy has -
Millionaire destroys his own Lamborghini

The owner was embroiled in a war of words with Lamborghini after his Gallardo suffered a number of problems.

The final straw came after the owner, a businessman from China's eastern Shandong province, reported an engine malfunction with the car. A Lamborghini dealership then collected it for repair.

When the car returned, the engine still wasn't fixed, and the owner claimed that clumsy staff at Lamborghini's Qingdao dealership had damaged the chassis and the bodywork.

Tired of complaining, and having written personally to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, the owner hired nine workers and set up a camera to film the stunt.

Wow...

Hmm... video is blocked at work for some reason. Just as well though. It would probably make me cry.

Where is the bulldozer? :p

Hammers only get you so far.

PS I don't think those guys really know how to handle a hammer.

Yes... Chinese sledge hammers seem pretty small and weedy.

Give me a proper sledge and there would have been a big hole in the roof with the first hit...

Chinese business man angry about lack of quality. What's that word where the thing happens with the stuff?

Those guys he hired look pathetic. Did he give them rubber tipped sledges or something?

Wow. What a really sorry way to make a point. And not even a good point. You had 1 bad experience with a car repair. So, you destroy your car. Genius.

It is an Audi after all...what did he expect? ;)

When you buy a Volkswagen, you expect Volkswagen quality. It fucks up, you take it to the mechanic, they rape you on the repair cost, and the thing actually works for a short period of time. It sounds like they never really did fix this guy's car.

Shit, if I was that pissed off I would have driven it through the front of the dealership and lit the place on fire. He accomplished literally no vengeance by just smashing his own car up.

Video should have been called "Watch the weakest men in the world fail at destroying a car with sledge hammers".

Can't drive it? Then how was the car "returned"? On a flat bed? An engine malfunction could be anything from a misfire to a torn engine mount to engine is blown/won't start. They didn't say it wasn't drivable, they just said it wasn't fixed. Even if it was completely toasted, I would get that sucker and launch it through the dealership. Push it with a pickup truck if had too.
