Pretty stupid if you ask me. He would have been better off taking the funds from selling everything and investing them for his retirement. Now he has an "expensive paperweight" that "is now worth less than he owes on it and the bank refuses to grant him another loan." And yet he's
smiling in the pic?

I am with Gramps.. Besides, cars are the worst investment unless you get a rare car.. then you wouldn't be driving it anywhere.
Quote from someone on that page
Some truth about this story:
Richard Jordan has taken Matt Hardigree on a ride with a ton of lies here. He never sold all of his possessions or spent his "life savings" to set out on the open road or to buy the Lamborghini (OR any of the other luxury cars and bikes he's been afforded over the years).
Where to start with this pile of madness? He sold his metal fabrication business?! WHAT business? What was the name of this alleged business and to whom did he sell it and when? For that matter, WHAT JOB? And he took to the highway, living hotel to hotel after his fiancee left him???! The timeline in this is whack. He bought her a Corvette AFTER he bought the Lamborghini (and also after he bought the Hummer H1 and the Audi A4 AND the Ford F-650 AND the Cadillac and whatever else that he purchased within that five year block), and they were together for a long while afterward. What about the time he was pulled over in Indiana? Or the embarrassing time(s) he TOLD people he was Moby? The versions portrayed above of those incidents are a convoluted headache of half-truths. Witnesses were there, remember, Richard? This article leads readers to believe Mr. Jordan is some kind of nomadic Mad-Max-meets-Two-Lane-Black-Top messiah when he's really just a delusional kid who hails from extreme privilege. I'm sure his good family is floored by this hacked up mess of words.
Hell, my elderly parents have put more out-of-state miles on their car than Richard has put on this Lambo. The most driving he's done has been at 18o mph from Starbucks to Starbucks across the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. This is SUCH an unbelievable crock. People can't possibly be reading this story, looking at the handful of pictures Richard took while on a few road trips along with the images of his new warehouse, and thinking all of this has no holes in it! Come on.
Richard, you owe Matt Hardigree a huge apology for wasting his time and for leading readers to believe you're some kind of reformed victim of love who left everything behind for some romantic, American dream. Did you think an article of this popular magnitude wouldn't be read by people who know you in real life?

I would have agreed with you when I was your age. Yep, I've become an old fuddy-duddy, probably worse than your parents, but life has an interesting way of changing your point of view over time. I hope that your life turns out differently from mine and you don't become cold and hard like me. Please don't take these comments as anything negative towards you, just .02 worth from a bitter old fart.

I am 100% with this right here.
I'm much sooner die at 40 with a life full of stories, than live till 80 just to get a small condo in Flordia. I just don't have the balls
Also, money is just that. Money. You can always make more of it, that's why I spend the shit out of mine on dumbass things.

Meh. You can't take money with you. Might as well use it while you got it.
