Default A Crazy Idea
I want a new vette.
At my age it is not likely that I will ever live long
enough to save enough to get one. I had this really crazy idea.
I put a donate to my vette fund button on my vette page.
If you are as crazy as I am - visit - if you are really crazy
donate. I will keep the total updated on the page.

Well, I might have been able to swing a new one if I wouldn't have bought a new Harley.

I dunno, call me the cynic, but there's lots of worthy causes to donate to, rather than to buy someone a new toy. How about a nice donation to the USO, to show your support for our troops?

In my lifetime I have donated to many worthy causes.

Soooo - I still want a new toy

Perhaps we could have a few rock stars throw a Corvette Aid Concert. It would be for under privileged Corvette owners who can not afford the latest high performance mod.

Maybe you should start trading for stuff. Remember that kid that started with a paper clip and ended up with a house.
Good Luck
