This is why i would never give my Lamborghini to a random mechanic... ofcourse, once i save enough to buy one in another 50 years or so..

In before mechanics say "oh we have to drive the car to see how it's running..." LOL

In before that'll buff right out comments.

There is no way I would accept a repair. The owner is due a new vehicle, and perhaps a good bit of extra compensation.

This story has holes in it.

What Lamborghini only costs 200 grand?

It might not be a new vehicle.

But the big question is whether or not they'll give him a discount on the work they already did.

It's only a Gallardo. 200k sounds about right - actual value is probably less.
Also, it's 4WD car, so it's relatively easy to drive. But looks like someone misjudged a patch of wet road there

Also, LOL at the dude going on about pointless crap in the video. So American Style Overdramatization! Much Wow.

Good question

I have one. Is it faster than a motorcycle?

WTF. I expected a hit on the side or front end or something. LOL @ flipping it upside down.

I got one to protect myself in case of an insurance disputes, but mostly its just to record lulz.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Funny, I don't even trust a mechanic with my POS 2000 and 2001 cars.....

 

[Scarpozzi]

I wonder if he'll try to get it fixed in the same shop...

Probably about the same. Since he flipped it, there is a good chance that it was briefly two-tired

maybe 200k in down under dollars? what's it worth in today's exchange rate?

I wish mine was already installed, because I would have some pretty great stuff to post on Youtube lately. People are nuts :biggrin:

I love how the mechanic made comments like "it flips over really easily"... yes, you naughty Lamborghini, you shouldn't have taken the mechanic for a drive!

Victim blaming at its finest.

Which one is Australasia then?

You're making it up as you go along!

Gallardo.

Gay-Lard-o as the news guy says it.

I actually saw something similar to this way back in the '80s. I was driving back to my shop and a guy in a Porsche 928 S4 comes flying around a curve sideways and just about creams me. He slides on by and hits a telephone pole and caves in the entire passenger side all the way to the middle of the roof of the car. The car is bent around the telephone pole. I back up to see what the hell he did. The guy climbs out of the drivers window, which was busted too, and starts screaming "I'm going to lose my job!" Over and over. Stupid ass was a mechanic and was taking the car out for a joyride. Hilarious.

I think the car went for about 70k back in the late '80s.


Peace
