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.

No joke. Gallardo's are for the sorta rich. On my street, if the uber rich must travel by land, they do so in a Bugatti Veyron.
Gallardo? More like some cheap chinese imitation.
It shows that China is in a bubble

hmmm maybe there is something to this socionomics thing after all.

He shoulda wrapped it around a tree. Two problems solved at once.
The real point of this otherwise pointless display of vulgarity was for the owner to show that he is so rich he can afford to do it. He was building face in a land where face is only second to wealth in terms of desirability. He is now almost assuredly a role model for everything the average Chinese hopes to become. If a Gallardo is a babe magnet, whomping ass on one's own Gallardo is a neodymium babe magnet.
"To be rich is glorious"
Thus, it was not pointless.
Damned yellow skinned slant eyes and their "face."
Satire~ If the rich man can't have it, than nobody wiLl have it! FTW.
CNBC, would say it creates "J.O.B.s" because the car would have to be replaced. But it's just a little mans war of wasted resource.
I'm ashamed to be human and ever increasingly.
higher GDP after lambo wreck? yup, that is how perverted economists compute progress. Look no further if you are trying to understand why the world has gone backwards the last 100 years: the triad of politicians-economists-bankers will be the downfall of the world.
I find it ironic that a Chinese businessman is ticked off over his "consumer rights". When did they start caring about anything but profit and to hell with the consumer?
Up for repossession........... destroy the f..ing thing!
The world is unbelievably fucked up.
It's OK, Gallardos have a nasty habit of catching fire anyway.
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.
