Just a few days ago, David Mahler had his contracting company quit the agreements with the state of Louisiana to remove Confederate monuments, citing death threats and threatening calls to his home. It seems like quitting wasn’t enough for some disturbed people, as his Lamborghini was found burned to the ground this morning.
TV station WDSU reports there’s almost nothing left of the $200,000 Lamborghini Huracan, just four, tire-less wheels surrounding a pile of ash and some surprisingly durable seat frames.
Someone who saw the streamers-in-the-wind liveried Huracan at a Baton Rouge Cars and Coffee recently posted this before-and-after image:
Yikes.
The car was parked at the lot of Mahler’s contracting company, H&O Investments, which has been receiving threats and calls on social media for other companies to stop doing business with them as a result of H&O taking the contract to remove four Confederate monuments in Baton Rouge.
Look, the Confederacy lost. It’s not going to “rise again,” especially if the supporters of the losing side of the Civil War can’t understand this all-important, fundamental law of civilized humankind:
You don’t **** with a man’s ride.
Hopefully, the investigation will find the carsonists, and justice will be served, giving them some time to think about how to be less touchy about a war that’s been lost and over for well over a century and a half.
Trying to give a damn.......FAILED.
Perhaps the people who want the memorials destroyed did his car because he wouldn’t do the job.
Hard to tell from the info in the story.
Do they have a problem with their DCT?
The Huracan is a two pedal car, right?
Don't Mess With Texas New Orleans.
He can blame Mitch Landrieu, Mary's brother.
Apparently...you do **** with a man's ride.
Good. Vigilante justice against those cultural-marxists who are erasing our history and heritage. I wholeheartedly approve.
There is a reason for it.

Your post is spot on!
Boo effing hoo.
Friggin traitor deserves it.
A Lamborghini? Removing statues must pay pretty well.
Yes. This kind of sabotage will continue. The South never gives up and it never dies. Of course, the outrage will far exceed the crime but I noticed the contractor quit. No fool, he. I do not condone this kind of action but I understand it. Some folks, including me, are fed up with this erasure of our memories and our history.
I really don’t know.
I’ve driven a friend’s Ferrari and Lambo several times and they are basically impossible to drive on the street.
They are really meant to be track cars and have all sorts of problems with 0-30 mph stop-and-go driving.
He’s burned out his clutch repeatedly.
Porsche is the only real sports car company to have figured out how to make something work in real life and the race track.
These attacks on our history are tragic. It received a huge boost from SC Gov. Haley.
Ouuch.
Carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
Just in case anyone else gets an ideas I guess.
One damn well paid contractor to afford a toy like that. Most doctahs can’t buy that sort of stuff.
Sherman is on the lose again?
Stop trying to mess with the South. Save your confederate money boys, etc. etc. etc.
The south is entitled to their monuments and there has been ENOUGH Political Correctness shoved down people’s throats.Enough is enough when they start messing with history and our ancestors who fought for state’s rights. What is America fighting for now? Bringing governance back to the states and out of the wide open hungry jaws of the federal government trying to devour us and our God given rights. Nothing is constitutional any more. Everything is touchy-feely socialist INDOCTRINATION.
Self inflicted to drum up sympathy and outrage.
