Oil sheik's Lamborghini flies 6,500 miles for an oil change

Forget the fact that the world's elite are skiing in Dubai this summer, there's a Sheik in Qatar with a story that blows that out of the water. At a time when activists are protesting a 3rd runway at Heathrow, this guy packs his Lamborghini on a jet bound for London -- for a routine oil change. In total, the oil change is going to run him about $45,000 -- about $40,000 of it was just for the shipping. In the words of a British airport worker:
"This car doesn't have a carbon footprint – more of a crater."
I've done my share of oil changes and believe me -- it's a piece of cake. Not only that, but it was my understanding that Qatar has a pretty nice-sized oil stockpile of its own. No need to send your car to Britain to get an oil change when you live in one of the most oil-rich nations in the world. Right? Sheesh.
