I am wondering how he got through Panama. The road just ends in the jungle, before it gets to the Colombian border:

Isn’t there a ferry?

Exactly my thoughts. Did someone build a road through the Darien gap?

[Prospero]

Yeah, the Darien Gap was the first problem I had with the story. Then, of course, he has to drive back.

[PUGACHEV]

I don’t know how he got through Mexico, unless he bought back his wheels and tires at least a dozen times and paid off countless cops and whomever else.

A long while back Nissan started a series of commercials about a young couple that was going to drive their new Pathfinder from Los Angeles to Tierra del Fuego.

Almost as soon as the series started up it was cancelled.

My thinking at the time was that it would be a very dangerous proposition to drive through some parts of Mexico and Latin America for the average young couple, and no way was Nissan going to be responsible if some people actually tried to copy what their TV couple was planning on doing.

Hats off to this guy if he actually drove that far without being ambushed, bushwhacked, kidnapped, or killed.
