A GT Heritage Edition... torched!!

[DrBrightonone]

half expected this to be about toyota .. . .. . . . .

[Oberjej]

So, the guy basically torched the place because they wouldn't give him the price that he wanted? How incredibly bizarre..
On a side note: The writing for that article is absolutely atrocious. Sounds almost like a 12 year old wrote the story.

I think I could have done a better job.

Look at that poor GT in the video

[Sydneyfonzi]

He does realize that the reparation costs are going to be way more than the cost of an Escape doesn't he?...

I thought BMW cuz of the " The Ultimate" in the title of this thread is part of their tagline, "The Ultimate Driving machine".
What an idiot, I doubt an Escape cutomer would be able to pay for all the damages..

[AlissBart]

i don't get it. if he didn't like the price of the car, why didn't he just go somewhere else? what an idiot!
on a side note, i'm really angry about that ford GT

[esconsise]

After reading some more stuff on this, it looks as if he wasn't pissed at the price of it but the price of the loan that he took to buy the car.

[boffincash]

I actually thought this was hilarious believe it or not?

[Nundduedola]

Dead stupid and ignorant.
Half of the world is dying of hunger and he burns down a dealer because he doesn't agree with the price he's being cherged for an SUV....

[NickGrass]

Quote »Gerald Georgettis, the unhappy customer who drove his Ford Escape through the plate glass walls at Miami's Metro Ford, only to torch the joint (including a Gulf-liveried GT) is dead after an alleged airborn suicide.
Despite causing an estimated $1 million worth of damage to an occupied dealership earlier this month, Georgettis was later freed after paying just $1,500 (of a $15,000 bond). For reasons unknown, Georgettis boarded a flight bound for Los Angeles on Wednesday at Dulles International Airport (near Washington, D.C.). At some point in the flight, Georgettis was discovered dead in a cabin bathroom after an apparently hanging. United Airlines Flight 209 subsequently made an emergency landing at Denver International Airport, where his body was removed from the aircraft.
Further investigation revealed that Georgettis had recently quit his job as a theatre manager for the city of North Miami, and was gearing up for his trial. He had been charged with First degree arson, which could have seen him jailed for up to 30 years.

What a waste of life. You burn the place down and then kill your self because you couldn't get the deal you wanted out of a car dealership?
Not to be glib, but it is news like these that make me wonder why we haven't become extinct yet.

[N9NACzws]

Yeah. I had heard a blip on the news about his death, but couldn't find an accompanying article online. Thanks for that. Why do I suspect there were other underlying issues going on? He could have become aware of the trouble he was in and didn't want to deal with that, I realize. But to set this whole thing off, there must have been more than just dissatisfaction with the price. Of course I am obviously no psychologist, so I could be reading too far into this.

The salesperson was sleeping with his wife?

[DrBrightonone]

that only happens at BMW dealerships
