He's my hero in a way, what I wouldn't do to get my butt into a Lamborghini

You are one lucky man, best I have had is a ride in a SL65, twin turbo V12, 550hp for 1/2 a million. I would be happy just to have a ride in a Lambo, it is my ultimate goal in life is to get myself one.

this is the 2nd reply at the bottom of the article.
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? |

Well, really, this story can never be proved true or as a carefully crafted story. Only one person knows the real story. Well i suppose if its real, the people he met & got arrested by, do.
Anyway, the only thing I found suss is the fact that how, did he sustain driving the lambo, stay in hotels, afford those 53 tickets, the 25k in costs of the four hour meditation, AND keep the house, on WHAT income? AFTER selling everything to put those proceeds forward as the 75k down payment. What was he doing to put fuel in that V10? Crocheting Lamborghini Flags to sell at the local flea Market? As for "blowthiswhistle" - the second replier, where did he get his info from? His version too is unsubstantiated. So??? Just read it, enjoy it & make your own judgement.

If true, great story and have shown us how we should live our lives rather than try to meet others' expectations.
If it's not true and is a plethora of lies; may 10,000 bees take flight and land in your underpants Richard. There, now I have a bet each way.

Nice. I think I might do the same. I wonder what lambo I could buy after selling all I own, the proceeds of which would probably only be about $10,000.

I say 'Good on Him'.
Life is what you make of it. He could have festered in a place he didn't want. Instead, he's doing something that he enjoys and is doing absolutely nothing harmful. Best wishes to the guy. Of course, if it's all made up/manipulated to make it interesting, then he can get stuffed.

Hate Lamborghini's but loved that story, if it's true. I'd do the same in a heartbeat if I could. Nothing like that kind of freedom. Unfortunately I have attachements, often referred to as "kids" and "other half"
