Morse (and its sequel Lewis) isn't depressive - just a unrealistic representation of the murder rate in a provincial English city.
The Chief Constable in Oxford, IIRC, joked about Morse and Lewis saying that they solved 10 murders a year in Oxford, whereas Oxford itself tended to have only 1 murder every 10 years. Something very similar (I can't find the exact quote now).

Haha- while I am not a Lambo fan, I think that type of statement could be made for a lot of auto companies, (that many made things before getting into the car biz...) a few come to mind: Ducati made radios, BMW for aircraft, Opel made sewing machines and bikes, Peugeot made coffee mills, salt and pepper grinders, Hyundai made construction materials, Skoda was a bookseller that started made bikes, and Toyota made looms for textiles before jumping into cars, Suzuki made silk weaving looms, and Mazda made industrial tools.
That's just a snapshot, and I know your post was mostly in jest, but it's pretty cool to see what these companies were doing before the car came along.
