Man sells everything to buy a Lambo and go cross-country
This is a really amazing story.

His fiancee left him after he had bought a house for them, so he sold everything, bought a Lamborghini Gallardo, and went cross-country.
That guy's got balls.

damn I wonder how much he spent on gas! the car doesn't even run anymore? guess the fun caught up to him.
I would love to rally all over America in a supercar...only thing I'd do different is have a group of supercars with good friends driving and actually have the money to be able to do it...ok I guess it will never happen unless you do it his way.

He should have leased it. StonedCL says it's only the way to go...
Actually in THIS case, I might actually agree.

I love Lamborghini's too, but I'm not sure if I would have sold everything for one.

Agreed. To me, a Lambo or something on that exotic level is way too unreliable, it'd sure be fun while it lasted though. If I were to ever do anything like this, I'd definitely go with something more reliable like a GT3 or maybe even the Turbo with a few more amenities.

I'm sure you guys heard of the guy who drove his 2010 GT3RS to a 24 hour race, raced it, and then drove back home, ZERO problems.

I can imagine it being extremely fun, but i'd rather use the $80g's to travel all around the world and rent a new super-car in every new location. You can pretty much go EVERYWHERE with $80,000...

I feel sorry for the guy. I wonder if he got laid in at the strip joint
btw, this is an awesome philosophical statement he made:
"You're never going to live up to anyone's expectations, so you might as well live up to your own and for me that's to be as free as you can. And if money doesn't buy you freedom then it's useless."

While not exactly the best ending to the story this would be an awesome thing to do. Too bad I don't have anywhere near the amount of money needed for a down payment on a Gallardo.

mileage charge would be insane

I'm happy for him following his dreams but did he ever take a step back and look at what he's doing?
So now he has no fiancee, no house, Gallardo with blown engine. Guessing no job too?
He better have some money left over.

Love the story and the guy's spirit, wish the timing chain wouldn't have stretched and ruined the engine.
