Support WHO'S economy? Not the U.S. That also doesnt help fuel prices I'm sure.

Wastefull.

I don't recall where it got installed, I just remember the incident and how BOOC it was...

Fuckin ridiculous, but I guess if you have enough money to buy a Lambo then you have enough money for a $46,644 oil change.

Exactly. I've heard worse stories about people blowing money. But it's his fucking money, so who cares?

If the people at the dealership had half a brain they would have known where the car was coming from and at what financial cost to the owner. They could have seriously cashed in by charging him half the money and flew two techs out with all the supplies. They would have made a serious profit and probably made a loyal customer for life.

Sounds like someone is jealous.

And who the fuck would wait in line to buy a prius? I wouldnt be FORCED to buy a prius, much less wait in line for one.

if the guy wants to blow that much to do it for the pomp who cares....just goes to show he'd rather have the guys in London do it right than have crappy service in his own country...now what does that tell you?

I don't see a problem with that either. I routinely send my Nikes back to the sweatshop in Taiwan to get the laces changed out.
