This Is The Unhappy Customer Who Took Hostages At BMW's French HQ (via Jalopnik)

All this over the performance of a car? Did he at least make demands? Or did he just go straight to deal damage?

You know, I've been thinking about doing this to Nissan since I learned that Miata doors were more stable and that Mustang GT's were faster in a straight line. Then common sense kicked in.

And, like any upset consumer, he took the following normal steps:

• In 2003, he tried to set himself on fire in front of the BMW dealership where he purchased the car.
• In 2005, he left boxes of fake explosives at three BMW dealerships around France, for which he was sentenced to 15 months in prison.
• In 2008, he called in a bomb threat to BMW France HQ.
• Yesterday, he fired shots at BMW HQ and took a receptionist hostage.

Fontana eventually surrendered to police before harming anyone and now faces more serious jail time.

Look for a billboard campaign from Audi of France proudly proclaiming "AUDI: Our customers don't try to kill us."
