That's painful to watch!

But the headline begs the question, are there budget Lamborghinis as well? I thought they're ALL "luxury'.

the budget models ...its how they started until Ferrari had a junk clutch and would not offer a solution so Mr Lamborghini took one of his tractor clutches and fitted into his Ferrari...Ian Tyrells classic workshop had the actual car in for some work on youtube a while back and compared the clutch with some tractor ones his Lambo expert brought in..

No budget versions, but they do manufacture versions designed for racing that are definitely more functional than luxurious

A Lamborghini is just an overpriced and less well built Volkswagen

And when the fuel line orings perish because Bong Heng didn't change them for a decease... WHUMP!

Not sure about the insurance policies here, but in Germany the insurance would cover that in full (except you chose the mandatory low cost version).
For this guy the only good news is, that he can make some money with the front (which he can sell to one of the countless concrete road divider warriors) since it still looks surprisingly well
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to one life only and the inability to restart, once Game Over
