The only cool thing I took away from this story is that someone ran a Lambo to almost 100k miles and did cross-country trips with it.

Other than that, it's just about someone who decided to run away from his problems and become completely self-destructive and irresponsible. He's not getting any respect or props from me. Makes you wonder why his fiancee left him in the first place? I guess I won't speculate.

I like how they ended the story with him building bikes as if he is now a free spirit and lives to tell his cool story. How about doing a follow-up about his debt and all the consequences of his actions? Oh right, that wouldn't make a nice article, would it?

I'm sure a lot of us have a choice to sell all of our stuff and go on a self-destructive spree. I don't find that admirable at all, that's just being stupid.

i have to agree. doing something like this responsibly is inspiring, sometimes you just need to take a break from life and follow your dreams. But doing this to run away from problems and piling up debts along the way
on the other hand, awesome to see how well the car held up.

You forgot to mention "defrauding strippers."

Nice! Now I want an IS-F!

I wish I could just take a year off of work and drive all over the country, not just straight across, but up and down and everywhere. What a great experience it must be.

This is what life is all about, enjoying a great car while seeing this great country.

another related note on the guy with the Lamborghini, did he have the foresight to invest in a radar detector? the number of tickets seem very high if he was driving with a radar detector and to own and drive a car like that without one is stupid.
