Sex And The Single Cayman: Wronged Customer Shames Porsche With Half-Naked Girls

From the Only In China blotter: A customer who did not receive the service he expected for his Cayenne used sex to drive home his point in a photogenic way. A Chinese man threw body-painted girls into the battle with his Porsche dealership. Do not click if arty camel toes offend you.

According to Carnewschina, Mr. Guo bought his Cayenne Turbo in July 2011 for the rather steep price of 2.7 million yuan ($423,000). The driver claims that a few weeks ago, the brakes failed while he was parking his Cayenne in an underground parking lot. Result: Damaged Porsche, injured passenger.

Guo wanted his car to be fixed for free and his passenger compensated. The dealer in the Chinese city of Taiyuan deemed the brakes as operative and refused to pay.

Not having received the satisfaction he desired, Guo embarked on a publicity campaign that, as you can tell, now went global. Two ladies were body-painted. The left character means ‘protect’, the right means ‘rights’. The Porsche logo was covered with a skull.

The damage did not pass the, albeit remote, inspection of Carnewschina: “The Porsche actually doesn’t seem so damaged, it looks more like Guo simply took the front-end off.” Carnewschina says that ‘local authorities’ are looking into the matter, and it opines that the painted ladies would be first to be interrogated.

    I would escalate the issue by using more protests i.e. Bikini Mud Wrestling, Wet T-shirt contests, NUDE CAR WASHES. I wish I were in China doing this guy’s advertising. Excuse me I have to go to the bath room for a while.

    And now it's time to turn the Passche TG#2L Double Action Feed Airbrush over to TTAC's tame racing driver. Some say he cut off his left ear and mailed it to a former Marine Corps aviator turned Vice Chairman of General Motors. And that he once recreated Dali's "Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea (which at 18 meters becomes a portrait of Abraham Lincoln)" with nothing but nail polish stolen from Vodka McBigbra's medicine cabinet. All we know is, he's called the Jack.

  • Dukeisduke Is the Volvo EX30 even on sale yet? It was pulled from the NACTOY awards because they were having software problems with the vehicle.
  • Wjtinfwb If you've only got 5k to spend on transportation, I cannot imagine a worse way to spend it than on a GM orphan from Sweden that's 15 years old with 150k on the clock and limited plus expensive parts availability and dwindling techs who'd even want to work on it. Go find a similar vintage Camry or Accord with 150k miles or even a Ford or a Chevy, whatever. Hell, even an old Jaguar is less of a crapshoot than a Saab. At least you can still get parts.
  • Kwik_Shift Brands that were considered from China include BYD, Dayun, Great Wall Motors, Maxus, Nio, Omoda/Chery, Seres, XPeng, and Zeekr. KG Mobility from South Korea also made the list of candidates.That's a lot of car companies from there ready to head here.
  • Analoggrotto Clean sweep and unanimous victory for the world affluence engine of 22nd century : Hyundai/Kia/Genesis. Toyota and Lexus, for 120 years of history have not been able to capture the zenith superlative status of Hyundai Motor Corporation the most awarded, decorated and revered automotive corporation in the history of historical. Featuring best ever, first ever and greatest ever e-ATPs the Hyundai Genesis Kia lineup is posed to become the envy of every country club, ivy league college and fortune 500 corporation in the world. I've been taking a roadtrip in my loaner Elantra N, visiting colleges from east to west, elite universities of higher learning to inspect their parking lots. WHat did I find? Leagues of Genesis models, outnumbering Lexus 3 to 1. When I interviewed faculty and staff at these places of greater learning, their response was unanimous : they chose HMC for the ATPs.
