Taiwanese man crashes Porsche Cayenne into local dealership
A disgruntled Porsche enthusiast in Taiwan crashed an SUV into a local dealership, bringing a year-long dispute to a head.
If you can afford a Porsche, you are probably the kind of person who has enough money to demand that everyone does what you want, how you want.
That was the apparent attitude of a man from Taipei, Taiwan, identified by the Daily Mail as "Chu", who showed staff at a local Porsche dealership exactly how he felt about being ignored.
In January 2017, Chu, described as a Porsche lover, ordered a Panamero Sport Turismo with the optional 4D Chassis Control. In November, the car was delivered without the extras. The dealership claimed that the extras were not on the initial contract.

Chu argued otherwise, but the dealership maintained its argument, going as far as threatening to withhold Chu's £50,000 deposit. When negotiations broke down, Chu decided to take drastic action. He drove a Porsche Cayenne into the dealership, and then proceeded to shout at staff.
The police were called and Chu was taken in and charged with public endangerment, intimidation, and property damage. He has since apologised for his actions, saying he "regrets" what he did and later claiming that he had been swerving to avoid another car at the time of the crash.
Is the dealership to blame here, or is this another case of the rich exhibiting a gross sense of entitlement?
