A Texas car dealership has settled a lawsuit filed by the widow of a man who killed himself after dropping out of a contest in which participants tried to keep their hand on a vehicle the longest.Details of the settlement between Patterson Nissan of Longview, in east Texas, and Chalala Gutierrez, the wife of contestant Richard Thomas Vega II, are confidential, officials said.
Just before a scheduled rest break 48 hours into the event, Vega dropped out, crossed a street and broke into a Kmart store, where he took a gun from a case and shot himself.
Yup, the car dealership made the guy suicidal, not his own mental instability. Look, if I had the kind of wife that would sue a car dealership because I couldn’t handle the stress of trying to win a car, I would probably kill myself too. Luckily, I don’t have a wife like that nor do I need a truck that bad. Oh yeah, and I’m not about to off myself for something as stupid as a contest where you try to win a car. What’s next, a class action suit against “The Price Is Right?”
Oh, and the very, very best line from this story…
She likened Vega and other contestants' stress and sleep deprivation to "brainwashing" and said the dealership failed to provide a safe environment for contestants who "temporarily lost their sanity."
Lady, that guy lost his sanity when he married you.
