What kind of "sledge hammers" are those? REALLY long handles, and TINY heads.... the one guy closest to the camera seemed to be putting his weight into the swing but the hammer just had no OOMPH

This math doesn't make sense to me,

'The stunt equates to almost half a million pounds worth of damage. In China, a Lamborghini Gallardo reportedly costs £465,000.'

The damage eqautes to almost 465,000 pounds as I see it.

LOL. Wow. Real mature you stupid ****. He is lucky some Lambo lover did not beat the crap out of him for his stupid action in public.

Obviously not the millionaire next door. Otherwise he would have done the heavy handed labor himself and it would have been a gently used Lambo.

Duh.

Well 465.000 is just 35,000 off a half a million so almost is very accurate.
Second: don't forget that if you buy a car, any car as parts and put it together it will cost almost 70% more than the car on the showroom floor, this is a well known fact....
Go and ask Mercedes to sell you a new, crated engine with all the ECU's wiring harness etc and see how much it cost....on a $50K car it probably will be close to $12/14 K
Just the old original 8 holes wheels on W124 cost a whooping $700.00 EACH from the dealer.

That's stupid to buy a Lamborgini only to scrimp on the sledge hammers you plan to use to destroy it! Who would do THAT?!
