A man stands by his broken down Land Rover, trying to get a refund, in Shenyang, Liaoning province, on March 28, 2011. The car owner spent about 2 million yuan ($304,604) to buy the car, but it broke down six times in one year, and he had to replace the engine. When the car broke down for the seventh time, he hired two donkeys to pull the car to the dealer and it is now seeking a refund. [Photo/CFP]
