    In reply to Indiana Ford Dealer Commits Suicide In Office
    As someone that has contemplated it about 340 of the last 365 days, allow me to speculate wildly.

    Wife is hot, guy is a dork. Good chance wife's family has the money. Regardless a divorce won't be good for business so they keep it together for show. She spends her nights on the prowl for younger guys while he sleeps on the couch in the dealership because that's all he has left. But she finally found somebody she wants to settle down with and now he'll lose that too.

    Just a wild ass guess...

    @Ralph Wiley Is Poised: I did qualify that I was speculating wildly. Maybe he could no longer live with hiding that he was gay and got infected by some tranny hooker in Tijuana. You know you've seen too much drama when you start making up back stories. #carpocalypsenow

    @skaycog: I had a friend who blew his brains out this summer. He was very well liked and respected, and his problems didn't seem any more severe than the average person's.

    Some people can't see themselves they way other see them.

    Toyota dealerships should print this article and put it on coffee tables at dealerships. + 1 also for the tongue in cheek digs on the NY Times and Chrysler. #pickuptrucks

    I normally despise limos, but the DeLorean is pure stainless steel wholesome goodness.

    Now that the limo variant has been done, I need to find a track-rat DeLorean with a Ford Eco-Boost V6 in the back. #limos
