$2 won't buy a Lamborghini. Especially a $750,000 one. Nor would it allow you to destory it with a sledge hammer to show your frustration with the dealership....
A businessman from the city of Qingdao in eastern China bought the souped-up Italian sports car in October for about $750,000, but that didn't stop him from reducing it to pile of scrap metal on Tuesday -- World Consumer Rights Day. Han Nan, the Lamborghini's owner, returned the flashy vehicle to the dealership in November to correct an engine malfunction. But the car came back from the garage in worse shape with a damaged bumper and chassis, the Daily Record said. Subsequent arguments that Han had with the managers at the dealership and Lamborghini officials went nowhere. Han, an entrepreneur with a wholesale lighting company, turned his personal frustration into a public spectacle. Crowds gasped as the demolition crew clad in blue uniforms and helmets totaled the car on the streets. At one point, the workers handed over the sledgehammers to the spectators and allowed them to join in the frenzy by climbing on top of the Lamborghini and smashing it. Odd. I thought China was a communist country? Lamborghini dealership? |

There's "communism" for the working class, and "communism" for the party members. My dad did some biz av consulting work in China, and the biggest Capitalists in the country were the generals and party leaders. |

Heard a few ramblings that the NYC slot/swap has been settled and should be out soon. Though I did hear that about 3 weeks ago, so I'm sure it's anybody's guess on how accurate that is.
You bring up a good point regarding the next AE, I am sure they have probably delayed it until the Slot Swap deal becomes official. If anything it shows that they are probably close to coming to a settlement on it. |

I don't think the slot swap will do much from the AE. Last I heard Steve D. talk about it, he said the split between mainline and 76 seat flying will be about 30% to 70% (70% being 70-76 seat flying).

What happened to offering a quality product? Apparently "the year of the customer" means something different than I think it does.
