That's a awesome American grown story!

I just wish to own something similar(and when I say similar I mean like something a 10th its price) let alone put 96k+ on it. Hell I barely drove my Cobra.

So awesome. I wish I could comprehend the balls that it took to drop his entire life and just get back to making himself happy is a very simple, but expensive way.

11secdsm · 06-10-2010, 09:55 PM

Love it!

c0nfl1kt · 06-10-2010, 10:39 PM

Being happy is worth all the useless **** that was keeping him tied down.

james_ls · 06-11-2010, 11:47 AM

Hey man, if I could afford it I'd be right there next to him.

That's awesome.

morla · 06-15-2010, 05:50 PM

That's such a great story and a great article. He has an amazing outlook on life

DPancoast · 06-15-2010, 05:55 PM

so cool. a lot of the stuff they quoted him saying makes so much sense and I can related to it pretty well (as Im sure everyone can in some way).

bl@ckvr4 · 06-17-2010, 11:36 AM

Anyone read the comments? Apparently the story was full of lies and holes.

It was a good read, however.

Proven · 06-26-2010, 02:32 PM

Haha! Yeah I read the comments. This story is most likely another example of reporters/media making up stories out of thin air. That, or apparently not checking facts.

According to one of the comments someone who replied personally knows this dude and he's from a very wealthy family in Texas, never worked, and is full of sh**. Bought the lambo before splitting with his ex and took a road trip to Indiana once (or something like that). Also mentioned was he still owns his house, has plenty of cars/bikes still, and stores them in his warehouse.

Great story though, fiction or not

mitsuboost30 · 06-26-2010, 04:22 PM

wow thats just an awesome story! props to him!

RedWabbit · 06-26-2010, 04:55 PM

good story but do believe there is alot of bs in it.

fitftw · 06-26-2010, 05:23 PM

Even if it is fake, I'm sure SOMEONE has done this or very similar.

Protege v2.5 · 06-26-2010, 11:33 PM

Hell... I'd do this in my protege, no need to buy a Lambo.

TheFlash42 · 06-27-2010, 01:41 PM
