The guys from the state of Vermont and was the first man to drive across the us using the time tested Vermont past time of making unreliable cars and making them reliable through sheer fricken will while also going on a ridiculous road trip for a 50 dollar bet for no reson I know 3 people like this all from Vermont and that's not even mentioning he turned down support from a corporation this man is in my opinion the most cartoonish extreme example of the stereotypical Vermonter the only way he could possibly be even more cartoonishly Vermontery is if he carried a keg of Vermont maple syrup with him the entire way hell after he arrived at new York he picked his wife up in the Vermont and took her to Vermont
