The ultimate wedding parade for petrolheads


The quick industrial expansion is making China one of the richest countries in the world and it's becoming a key-market for most luxury car manufacturers. Altough the duties and taxes on imported cars are ridiculously high (fun fact, over there a Ferrari 458 Italia costs $636.000), the amount of supercars is growing quickly and the cars involved in this wedding in the city of Wenzhou is a clear example.

Another supercar bites the dust but at least this time it's not the driver's fault. Well, technically it is, who would ever leave his supercar outside with an incoming weather storm?

This Porsche 911 pretends to be a boat


Everyone know the engine we find in the new generation of the Porsche 911 is water cooled, but this owner is taking things too seriously, or perhaps he thought his car was also a good boat. The protagonist of this accident is the wet chinese man you see laying on the bonnet of his Porsche that is floating in a lake in the city of Jinan.

Quattroporte owner damages his own car



It's not really the first time that we use to see something like this, but it looks like that in China, angry supercar owners prefer to smash their cars on public rather than risolve the dispute with their manifacturer. This time, the owner of a 423.000$ (yes, car taxes are huuuge in China) Maserati Quattroporte had an issue  with Maserati China and his dealership. His car after a wreck has been repaired by replacing the parts with again used and not brand new parts, and of course they charged him the service. Enraged, he decided to hire four people and hammers in order to smash his Quattroporte in front of Qingdao International Auto Show, a very strategic place to have a big media coverage.
