Lamborghini Crash Survivor: Amulet Saved My Life

[Suffinator]

So even the so-called 'educated' Thais are delusional in thinking an amulet will save you. Oh dear!

[kimamey]

The amulet ? Nothing to do with modern advanced car design and crash structures then?

My thoughts exactly. I imagine that the carbon fibre cockpit, high grade steel and tungsten, crumple points and other Kinetic Energy absorption features contributed to his survival much much more than a piece of clay with diamonds stuffed in it. Come to think of it, a lot of these rescue drivers that pick up the bodies at RTA's seem to wear lots of different amulets. I reckon had this guy died in the accident there would be a rescue driver right now adorned with a rather flashy Great Garuda!

If he was wearing a seatbelt it would be more appropriate to show how that helps.

It would be interesting to compare the death rates of those who wear amulets and those who don't. I've never seen one in the UK although I'm sure there are a few and look how lower the death rate is. The same could be said for many western countries.

"He said he was wearing Great Garuda amulet, surrounded by tiny diamonds,at the time of the accident, which he believed contributed to his miraculous survival."

How about trading in one of those tiny diamonds for a set of rain tires so next time the Lambo survives as well?

[laobali]

he was driving from Bangkok to attend his father′s funeral at a temple in Chonburi,

Shame his dad isn't around to tell his son to slow the Xxxx down. Not to be glib, but I wonder if the first thing he did when his father passed away was to buy a Lamborghini.

Either they are keeping the body for a long time or ordering and shipping is a lot quicker than I thought.

There are Lambos on sale in Bangkok right now. In fact there are two up country where I live in a showroom

Don't you feel exposed living in a showroom?

So even the so-called 'educated' Thais are delusional in thinking an amulet will save you. Oh dear!

Even successful CEO's need something to hang on to?

[RBOP]

So if the good luck amulet saved his life, what item of bad luck caused the crash?

[tragickingdom]

More money than brains.

[technologybytes]

I don't get it. Was it his bad luck (crashing into lampposts is bad luck if you ask me) that he attributed to the amulet? Or the good luck that so far he has not been charged with dangerous driving?

Has a managing director of a company at the age of 45 really made enough in his working life to be able to afford one of these status symbols?

[johnlandy]

before to buy such car I would advise to LEARN how to drive ..not to mention he was probably not driving low speed. I dont understand those people here , get a brain and then a proper driving license. A managing director who believe in his amulets ..... I thought I have red everything .

"A brain" you gotta be joking.

[culicine]

The CEO would have been better of taking driving lessons than buying an amulet.. it looks like he managed to crash on a straight road...skill

Sent from my i-mobile i-STYLE Q6

Or a cheapskate who wouldn't replace his wide tires when they are down to the wires. Not too good in the rain:) Probably his a water patch and hydroplaned at high speed....

Where can I buy that amulet with CZ fake diamonds

[Misterwhisper]

I truly hope there is a clause in his car insurance policy that reads: "In case of divine intervention the undersigned insurer shall not be held responsible for any damage claims."

That would teach the idiot a lesson - but of course only unless he also wears an amulet that protects against insurers trying to avoid responsibilities.

This will make it to next Mondays update on Wrecked Exotics website.

The Asian contingent is providing lots of content these days.

The news story said he was working as a managing director at a "steal" company.

[Louisblackbird]

Nice car glad its a happy ending apart from him being delayed in the attendance at His Fathers Funeral

Must of had a lot on his mind !

[oldsailor35]

Well ! Well! here he is a CEO. One of the very mob of greedy Bangkok businessmen who complain that the basic minimum wage of Bht 300 per day is far too much and unaffordable.

[navara]

I used to be a real sportscar owner. Thailand is NOT the country for such cars. The chance you'll die in such a race monster is 10x higher than in Western countries.

[pb1936]

Very stupid cars, for small minded playboys. Entirely unsuitable for Thai driving conditions, and lethal in the hands of unskilled drivers.

It's very lucky that other road users were not killed.

[SinglePot]

At full throttle a Lamborghini can travel 1 mile in 15 seconds.

Not even a boot load of St Christophers will help you if you hit a wet patch.

[F4UCorsair]

He's a candidate for believing the tooth fairy exists!!

And the easter bunny.....

and...........

[Robby nz]

Just out of morbid curiosity I went and had a go at looking up 'Asian Steel Bar Company' the company he said he worked for.

No can find any company by that name on the web, could of course be something lost in the translation or they don't have a site.

As Ratcatcher said it could have been steal.

Something like the Steal beer Bar Company

Just waiting for that 2.2 Trillion Baht investment loan to pass through in parliament one of the next days.

[Fullstop]

A CEO who crashed his 34 million-baht Lamborghini into several electric poles and survived without serious injury credited his luck to the amulet he was wearing.

Which proves even idiots can make money, drive recklessly, have accidents and survive ... If they're "lucky" enough.

[Kananga]

Lamborghini Aventador price in USA and UK - 11,000,000 baht

Lamborghini Aventador price in Thailand - 34,000,000 baht.

Shame the amulet doesnt protect the brain from being ripped off.

[Emdog]

Hmmmm think he was speeding as he "hitting into 2 electric poles and 2 trees"? I know in my state even if you are not speeding, if you are driving too fast for the conditions, you will be ticketed. I am sure he can afford the fine...

Since his amulet saved him, he most assuredly won't consider taking driving lessons or using sense (uncommon here) as in observing speed limits and conditions. How can guy get that rich and be that stupid????

[phantomfiddler]

Who says these people are not at the cutting edge of science and technology Khun Darwin, they,re here !

[bri1guy]

He is truly lucky to have not been insured!! Was that a Lamborghini Gallardo Nero ????????

[Mudcrab]

Or it was the wrong amulet for that day....and actually caused him to crash?

[belg]

was he wearing a seat belt ?
