No Bubble: Owner Hires Crew To Wreck His $289,000 Gallardo In Protest Against Chinese Consumer Rights
This one goes both in the "WTF", "no Chinese bubble at all" and "GDP boost through destruction" bins. MSNBC reports of a Lamborghini owner in China who hired a crew on World Consumer Rights Day to smash his $289,000 Lamborghini Gallardo L140 in protest after allegedly disputing with the company on maintenance and engine issues. The protest was made to provoke public support and goad the manufacturer to respect his consumer rights. Yet at the end of the protest the world is sans one Gallardo, a credit billionaire couldn't care less, and nothing has changed. Yet somehow we are certain Thomas Lee from JP Morgan will find this act of wonton destruction as contributing 0.001% to China's 2011 GDP.

2000 media 'guests' at $300 a pop for the gala show and bingo, a new Gallardo in the bag. Just a thought.

Bought a Ferrari F430? You have not even seen and felt customer abuse until you have to deal with Ferrari 'service'. And parts costs, let alone lack of availability of critical parts for some models, forgeddaboutit! Seriously, if you love abuse by a motorcar company, then by all means get a Ferrari... and hope is does not burn to the ground as they tend to do (check YouTube, plenty of videos... and Ferrari denied their new model spontaniously combused until quite a few did so... and this is a NEW DESIGNED model we are talking about!).
All the above is so VERY true.
before 1998 -1999 every new Ferarri leaked oil... everyone of them save the F-40 / F-50..
The F-40 had issues with their bearing's having insufficient oiling. I think that's worse than leaking oil.
JW u drive a bimmer? Where in FL u at? My old ACS M3 widebody got rear ended by a 3time drunk driver going 90mph in FL. My baby saved my life :(

april's F1 has been cancelled in japan, just to let you know big guy†
The Japanese GP is in October. The Chinese and Malaysian GP's are in Apr. As far as I know the races are on.
The reason Lamborghini diversified from tractors into sportscars in the first place was because of Ferruccio Lamborghini's unhappiness with how Ferrari was handling his 250GTs' cluch problems. But of course Ferruccio (with his own factory just down the road from Modena) had the inside track, so he was able to get abused face-to-face by Enzo Ferrari himself.
Koenigsegg, amazing car, hopefully they make Saab worthy of the Saab name again.
I am so old... that I can still see Konig before they even had thier own car.. just upgrades for everyone else.. art work then and now..
Best all around car I have ever seen or heard of (save the Bugatti) is the Styker Peking to Paris.. Great Race, Great Car / Truck / Lux Baha something or other..

Konig interior(ish)... enjoy!
Seems like the only reasonable thing to do to a Gallardo.

LOL...fucking funny..Turd said he rules the cyberspace with his blog about gold and silver to the moon!
This world deserves to die in fire.
+ 1 Best line I've heard all day, thanks.
Fuck your generalizing ass. If you have a death wish, then go drive your suicide machine... but stay the fuck away from anyone else that has any desire to live.
Listen up Macho maggot faggot man;
The world needs to depopulate and/or undergoe major lifestyle changes in order for any resemblant return of the good life that most of us once had. Let the dying begin, starting with you.
You might be able to coerce someone else (the government) into doing it, but you, individually, will have to pack a lunch. I'm just curious how you and the poster before you were decided to be the arbiters of who lives and who dies? Can you explain, in three (3) sentences or less why your life is more valuable?
I enjoy great debate and intelligent intercourse, but I do not buy into scarecrow fallacies. I never claimed my life to be more valuable than another nor did I declare that I am or should be an arbiter judging who lives/dies. This is three sentences.
So you didn't say that I should be the first to die? This was based upon.... Am I missing something?
I take this to be some murder suicide proposal? Whereby I am the first to die and you quickly thereafter? I simply refuse to believe that you picture the world without you in it... In other words, if you really want to depopulate the earth, lead by example, don't kill those of us who want to live. I'm entirely suspicious of the world dying so you can return to the "good life".
Yes, that is correct, I never said what you just said I said.
Yes, you are correct again, and you most definiteley are missing something.
Refusing to beleive that people picture their world without being in it will not change the fact that many people in fact do.
Narcisists do it all the time. They are a perpetual tourists who live among us, witnessing a world before them without actually ever becoming a part of it.
So you didn't say, "let the dying begin, staring with you"????? Am I gonna have a heart attack or get hit by a bus? How do you know it will start with me if you're not going to be the one doing it?
Machoman, maybe you should lay off the steroids - they seem to be affecting your sense of humour.
"The world deserves to die in fire" was a humorous cri de couer at seeing a perfectly good Lamborghini getting sledged. Jeesh!
Cycle on, cycle off... I don't do steroids, but have quite a few acquaintances that do... I have never seen any evidence of roid rage. I don't plan on doing steroids until I actually need to (either hit natural max body utilization or get old and need to compensate).
How do you go from beating the hell out of a lambo to declaring that the end is near and the world needs to burn in a fire? Plus, I don't particularly care for the defeatist attitude... We have a really, really long journey ahead. It's not going to be fun. Don't take the easy way.
Are you on Ritalin / Adderall or some other kind of ADDHD-LMNOP... medication?
SARCASM 1: a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain 2: a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individualSeriously though, if your above responses are indicative of your inductive/deductive reasoning processes, then living for you will be more of a painfull loss than death itself.
What the fuck are you talking about? You got called on your bullshit of stating that I needed to be the first to die for depopulation purposes... fuck off with your billy madison, nonsensical response.
He said "the world" I guess reading isn't your strong suit
Ok, so to clarify, he's only the arbiter of who dies... you got me... jesus fucking christ people...
If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure the people who deserve to die first, won't.
Feel better now?
Seriously, a ChiCom has his Lamborghini beaten to death and you do not see that as a sign of the end times? Really?
I can assure you, I already know the lesson that anyone worth a shit dies first. But no, this does not mean the end of the world... it simply means capital has been misallocated in unprecedented amounts... and concentrated into the hands of a few. Unfortunately, your life continues, but in the future, it will be with a whip in your back.
I've never been that much in love with this life.
"Kill the best, and buy the rest" is the motto of the elites. Try not to help them.
You are in knee jerk mode. Have a drink and re-read. We are not ememies.
Again, if you're not in love with it, fine... that's your business... but don't generalize that the world needs to go die in a fire... no, the prols need to grow a pair and make some demands... in a shrinking pie world.
The proles will never grow a pair. It is the end. Socialist aristocracies are the future, and the end. Humanity, boot to face, some assembly required.
Get used to it.
And since you seem to just want to take offence, fuck you, bitch. Bring it, and I will break it off in your ass.
There is no end... it's just one big wave table... sloshing back and forth between the poles... sometimes we last long on one pole than another, but we always change... until we come up with a system that works in perpetuity and without active management, humans are prone to repeating ourselves.
And yes, I want to take offense to anyone who thinks the world needs to die in a fire. If you want to throw yourself in an incinerator, then be my guest, that's your business... (please don't leave any dependents behind because I don't want to pay for them). But, that's the bitch way to go... the easy way. And please do not attempt to speak for the rest of us.
With all this talk of death and fire, I hope you die while burning alive. It would be an added bonus if there were an audience to gawk as you melt away in agony. A video of this event uploaded on youtube would be nice as well.
"The world needs to depopulate"
You first.
Lighten up Macho, it was rhetorical.

I give up. Y'all are on your own.
Bring out your dead
Bring me their heads
An execution is at hand
These are you false prophets selling you Armageddon
These are the ones who are telling you that you are safe
These are the ones who are taking your life away
Day by day we cleanse the world of evil
Yet, the blood is still on our hands
Buried beneath the prayers of dead men
And when there’s nothing left
There will be no one left to peel the guilt from our backs
A flaw so fatal to our own survival
Failure in the flesh

thing is, this time.....there are enough people with nukes who hate us....who would probably be willing to "lend" them to the enemy our glorious leaders choose....
They turned a Lambo into a Fiat. Don't worry, it's just antiqued.
Is this covered by comp insurance?
It took a whole lot more work to develop a system where the fiat was converted into a lambo than it did to wreck the lambo...
If they want to wreck shit, give it to me... I'll drive the damn wheels off until I have to pay for an oil change or maintenance... then they can have it back.

The raging bull takes a beating. Great metaphor. Take a hammer to the "raging bull" and destroy ill-gotten wealth. Maybe these Chinese philospher-poets are trying to tell us something?
what a childish act.
What a dumbass. Like anyone is going to support someone so rich and stupid.
Just what I was thinking. Talk about out of touch.

Bastiat's broken window fallacy writ (290) large?

Glad to see somebody knows economics around here.
I've been trying to talk to my Princeton edumacated PhD brother about this fallacy. Here is his typical IVY LEAGE brainwashed response:
The key distinction is between money (or wealth) and production. Economists are usually more interested in production (which equals consumption) as that is a measure of the immediate well-being of a society. (Not a perfect measure of course.) A society could have a lot of money (or gold), but if no one is producing anything or consuming anything they aren't well off -- they might be starving.
A broken window, or a tsunami or a war is a way to spur production and consumption. They also result in a redistribution of wealth and various harmful effects which make some people worse off. That is not being denied, and their are certainly less harmful ways to spur an economy. Nevertheless, in the case where people had money sitting around not being invested productively or extra time on their hands, if these events cause the people to consume and/or produce more than they would otherwise, then that is how those events can actually spur the economy; namely increasing production and consumption and hence the GDP. (Of course lost lives and burnt factories will harm production and consumption, so it is an empirical question in each case as to whether GDP increases or decreases in both the short and long term.) But there is certainly a mechanism there for those events to spur the economy.
Tell him to go burn his house down and see how stimulated he feels.
From what I can make out, the great modern validator of these beliefs is Keynes. He seemed to have no idea that capital should have any cost. So, to him, saving was money hoarding.
The idea that money taken out of circulation decreases the supply of money and pushes up the buying power of money still in circulation didn't seem to occur to him. Or that money put in a savings account was then making capital available at lower cost. No, he just wanted central banks to print more of the stuff - how much more, and to whom it would be given, would be decided by clever chaps like himself.
What a twat the man was.
Who was the 'real' owner? The Fed?
is radiation from Japan already barbecuing the brains of Chinese?
I'm pretty sure that's just all the pollution we've managed to export along with our inflation.
Anyone knw a good auto body shop?
You guys are nuts, just look at the US economy go! You are free to do as we tell you suckers!

NEW YORK (AP) -- Signs that the U.S. economy is improving helped investors put aside fears over Japan's nuclear crisis Thursday, if only temporarily.
A gauge of manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region jumped in February to the highest point since January 1984. The survey from the Federal Reserve's Philadelphia branch showed new orders soared. Production at U.S. factories, mines and utilities dipped last month but was actually higher in previous months than first estimated, according to the Federal Reserve.
The Labor Department reported that the number of people applying for unemployment benefits fell more than economists expected last week. Ongoing claims dropped to the lowest level since October 2008.

What a waste. All I want is a decent '96 Town Car with less than 50k miles on it. With the (borrowed or stolen) money that penis-enhancer cost I could've started my own cab fleet.
You've gotten to the crotch of the matter. Apparently the salesman at the showroom implied that the Gallardo would do what a parsimonious Creator more often than not failed to do with the Han race. Horsepower did not mean what the buyer had hoped it meant, and the resulting disappointment took the wind, or perhaps the zephyr, out of the buyer's sail.

......... " "I apologize for the delay in handling your order and the demand has out run our supple as well as the manufactures throughout the U.S. as well. Please read the inter article for our best options for us to help you with your concerns.
I like to think everything happens for a reason and ultimately our best interest. When Geoff and I, Dennis Richard, decided to do the sale on our remaining Potassium Iodate, I never gave a thought to the potential radioactive fallout from Japan being a consideration to the sale of it, even though the earth quake had just happened the day before our discussion was made to do the sale. I suggested that we should state we have a limited supply of it, but I feel Geoff felt that we could always get more anytime we needed it, so he did not even mention it in the newsletter.
It turned out that we received many more orders than we could possibly fill, but we were not very worried, as we felt we had more than one reliable source to fall back on for us to order more. It turned out, by this evening, that we were told by our last possible source of Potassium Iodate that the United States Government had ordered all manufacturers to stop selling it, as our Government was going to buy it to send to the Japanese." .................
Same thing happened here during Katrina... FEMA (or some other governmental agency) ordered all the ice that could be produced from one of our local ice manufacturers.
PS, why iodate and not iodide?
He wants to suicide, hence iodate.
Good question.
But this makes me feel a little better. I would rather see the people in Japan get my order at this point in time ....
