like, as much as there's the blatant warning signs that he should turn back immediately... 14 looks like he's actually living in this pic, and not like the barely-animate husk being controlled by despair and multiple dead cars we've been seeing in his selfies of late. He looks like he has a purpose.

To be honest, I"m wondering what small-town midwest police would think if they pulled him over. Janky-rear end Jeep with out-of-state plates: check Trunk full of tools and living essentials, unusual emphasis on socks: check Orange camo jacket: check Big glasses: check Manson shirt: check

You Am I posted:I thought Jeeps were supposed to be reliable and could run on one cylinder if it had to? That requires that you fill the holes with dirt (or blood), and let it coagulate. It's been mostly a day, and only 80% humid- there may still be a way.

If angryrobots or whoever has a paypal address for me to send some cash to, please let me know. I'm probably of the opinion he should turn around but I guess there's nothing that is going to change his mind at this point.

You've sent $40.00 to angryrobots at the googz! Wish I could afford more, but other than my 2 SAMart sales, all I have is a $500 debt for two coils and a used ECU, and tomorrow is NEXT MONTH BILLS!  Will he make it?

OK what would his plan be if not forinternet strangers? Did he just set off with what he had in his pockets and a sense of optimism? Also I wish he was here to answer but did he used to live in NC to anyones knowledge? He looks like an aquaintance of mine that I always suspected was going to snap, maybe he finally did.

As Nero Danced posted:OK what would his plan be if not for internet strangers? Did he just set off with what he had in his pockets and a sense of optimism? I did pretty much that- but I sold off parts of my computer to pay for gas to move to California to become part of DOTCOM HISTORY. It was significantly less, but it was also over a decade ago. You gotta respect the guy for giving in and going with his gut instinct to flee. As if not coincidental, as I was getting ready to click "Submit", a Firestone commercial about their ASE mechanics came on my Sling stream. :o

Quoting this because holy poo poo, I drive MT through WY semi-regularly and distance with no services for 75-100 miles at a time is equal to the distance that left 14" sleeping in a parking lot for 2 days. On a scale of bad to plans, this is straight plans.

He looks like an aquaintance of mine that I always suspected was going to snap, maybe he finally did. He grew up in CA, as far as I know (his dad lives here, and when he started posting on SA he still lived here) and then he moved up to WA when he was menaced by an ex a few years ago. So, I don't think so?

He doesn't want to stay in Deer Lodge. It'll probably be slightly cheaper outside of Butte. Bozeman will cost too drat much since it is basically a college+B&B now.. The Bozeman restroom is loving awesome, though- free WiFi, heated, and basically all you need to survive after 4 days of driving through hell.

Maybe he can resurrect the truck and drive it down to my area with the fastback in the back, and towing the Jeep? I can find him a studio apartment here in TN for like $300

I've been pulling the weather forecasts for the rest of his trip to Valentine and to be honest it doesn't look that bad. If he's beyond Missoula as was posted a number of hours ago pulling the long haul should put him there in the morning (hopefully). Ride shiny and chrome, Dave!

I've known several people in the headspace I think our favorite madman is in, and hell I've been there a few times myself. This trip has precisely dick to do with the truck. It has everything to do with the pathological urge to persist when every force, known and unknown, that man beast or god can bring to bear against you is telling you to stop. Whether it's correct or not, whether it makes sense or not, Dave has his identity tied up in the idea of Making This Voyage. It's not about stubbornness, it's not about running away from his problems, it's about deciding that this time, the bastards aren't going to stop him. If the vehicle breaks down, he'll walk. If his feet fall off, he'll crawl. If he turns back, then even though you, me, and everyone he knows will tell him it was the right decision, and he will probably agree with us, he will see himself as a failure and it'll be a long time before he puts much effort into bettering his life. This has never been a trip about fixing a truck. It's always been a trip about fixing his life, and if he's got the will to do it. The fact that that will is enabled by outside sources really isn't relevant, since ultimately it's not us staring at a thousand miles of bad road and strapping in. And no it doesn't make any loving sense and it's dumb as hell by any rational definition. But long dark nights of the soul don't tend toward reason.

Yeah, I checked Homestake earlier today and it was dry. If anything kills the Jeep, it'll be that. But I guess it made it over both Lookout and Fourth of July okay so  . I honestly think if he makes it over the divide, he'll make it the whole way.edit: PopeCrunch posted:This has never been a trip about fixing a truck.

The therapeutic nature of a thousand miles of road stretching out ahead of you and saying, "yeah, let's do this" cannot be overstated.
