> A school-year later, he was purchasing a 16-foot 2006 Ford with $US157,000 miles on it.

Hm... "domain-specific" CMS that assumes all large numbers are money, or strange writer error?

And yeah, that is really spartan. I personally feel spending more money to make more homely would have been a good investment, but to each their own. Maybe get an RV or RV-converted truck (less obvious) to start with.

I wondered the same thing, why not an RV.

Also, I wonder if this guy is tired of Matt Foley references.

It looks like a Tokyo apartment. Well, in an "inside-of-a-truck" way.
