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.
“How do you “burn a Lambo to the ground?â€
It’s a completely carbon fiber vehicle!
My first thought as well. Awfully convenient set of circumstances what with getting all the threats and suddenly his car burns to the ground...
Or the guys at the local SCV chapter had a little too much to drink. :) jk
If this car burning wasn’t caught on video, like most crimes of this magnitude are, then the owner did it for insurance money and is trying to blame it on a “hate crime.”
Self inflicted to drum up sympathy and outrage. ~DS
If this is a fake "hate" crime, then it certainly puts the "I con" into iconoclast.

Hell....Every contractor in our Town can afford one. They buy Lincolns here....2 or 3 of them. The Attorneys and Doctors buy BMW and own a nice boat. The contractor owns the Marina.
“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.”
Then he’s a moron. The three cars all use basically the sam dual clutch transmissions. High-end performance BMW’s also use the same setup. My neighbor has an M5 and you only have to use the main clutch to get the car under way, the transmission operates it’s own twin clutches to make gear changes. Maybe he drives like a little old lady and pulls the car down the street with the fan while leaving the clutch only partially engaged.
This is no different than what the Muzzies are doing.

Excellent point.
Well put, very well put.
I agree. It is sickening.
Or a very big politician (rim shot)
These are an older vintage.
The Ferrari I drove was the Magnum PI variety; the lambo a late 1990s or 2000s bright yellow thing.
I doubt they have a dual clutch transmission.
"Are you gonna find these guys? I mean you got any...uhh...uhh...leads?"
Yep. Most people who drive a ride like park it in a garage....not outdoors in an area that apparently had no security cameras.
This is about the same impetus ...
The government trying to force its will on the people
The same ones rose up again
period.
The guy probably shorts his sub contractors too. I wonder how many of them may have an axe to grind...
Gorgeous.
