We all know what happened tonight. It’s time to focus on the future. Obviously the man needs to get back and forth to work and have general transportation… It’s time for this forum to step up and shows it’s true colors as a community of car enthusiasts, and more important, as friends that will help other friends out in times of need. I’m in for 100 bucks. It dosent matter if you give 20 or 2000-the point is, step up and help a man in need. I only ever met him once, but I’d do this for any of you guys. If you don’t have anything positive to add, don’t fucking post in this thread. Travis ---
