Anyone see what happened at the auto show in Portland...?

Wow. Idiots.

 

How do such morons get control of such a fantastic car?

 

WTF...who gets hired to do these things? That's one of my unrealistic dream cars.

 

This is a standard feature of the Lamborghini. They catch on fire. It's possible that this isn't user error, so don't jump t conclusions so easily

That being said, it's equally as possible that this guy ran the car too hard for too long. Fuel lines sweat over the exhaust manifold, and fire happens. I love them.. But even if I were super rich, I still probably wouldn't want one for that reason.

 

Wtf...wow.

 

The owners had too much fuel in it to let it into the building. I do a ton of trade shows and more than 1/4 tank is a no no for the fire marshalls in most every area I've been.

So they decided to run it at high rpm to burn the fuel out (instead of taking it out on the road?). After a while the guy doing it got bored, so he came up with the genius idea of putting a chunk of wood on the throttle and letting it bounce off the rev limiter.

Eventually it overheated and caught fire. (For those that don't want to read the long article)

 

From what I know this wasn't the owner who did the wonderful task of destroying the car, it was the staff at the auto show

 

wow... full retard achieved.

 

I think someone needs a demotivational poster award for that bit of genius...

 

The poor get poorer and the rich get dumber.

 

holy dumbasses batman

 

did you guy's like the cars at the auto show? it seemed a bit disappointing..

 

How stupid can you be? I would never turn down a chance to go burn some free gas in a Brand new lambo, Hopefully the guy whose fault it was pays out of pocket to learn a lesson and insurace doesnt spent pointless money

 

El oh el. So many things to say....not enough text space.
