I had completely cashed out my 401k and all that good stuff as well.

The financial burden would not be a deterrent to doing something like this. It was well worth it.

Spoken like a man who has truly enjoyed life for a few minutes. How much did yoru trip wind up costing you in the end?

Around $10,000 or so I suppose, not counting the $4k motorcycle I blew up. I received approx $3k of that through donations. $1k of that $3k came from a single source, a man I've never met and know nothing about, other than that he owns a Plymouth Superbird.

So he was depressed and decided to commit financial suicide. What a hero.

Really? That pretty cool, and that was for a decent amount of time too liek 6 months right?. I threw $20 in the pot, but that only gets you a gas tank...

No shit? Thanks dude, I didn't even know you had followed it. It was around 5 months I think. It would've been much longer, but I took the hate mail personally and lost my drive. At this point in my life it wouldn't bother me, but I was younger then,

What hate mail?

There was much controversy over the donations. Did I really deserve it? Was I covering enough miles per day? Was my ride adventurous enough? Were my thumbs real or implants? Etc. etc. In fact, the "anti-Kaneman" thread swelled to be nearly as large as my actual ride report.

Since I had foolishly given out all my contact information I got constant emails and texts and an occasional phone call from people who disagreed with what I was doing.

The image I have in my head is that of thumbs with tits.
