I am too far away but if you have the time I will donate $30 for gas to get you there or if anyone else can make it happen just let me know.

I appreciate that but I would rather see the money go to her family.
I do not need gas money or anything, I just need to know if someone has this covered or if I can volunteer. I mapped it out and it said 150 miles or 3 hours. NO BIG DEAL AT ALL if it would make her smile.

I hope she`s up to it and someone can make this happen!
I was going to do the same for my uncle who was a 30+ yr turn marshal with the SCCA and certified car nut but he never gained enough strength to get out of the hospital for the ride.......

Thank's again for the well wishes and offers of contributions guys. I really don't feel comfortable asking for money from people over the internet. That is why I only asked for the people that were going to show up to donate at the house. I just don't have any real way to validate that your donations went to the family. But I will not stand in the way of the family receiving gifts from the community because of my own comfort. So my paypal is brettz06@yahoo.com if any one feels they want to give something to the family. All I have is my word that the family will receive every penny that paypal does not take.

Brett

I am moved and touched this a.m., seems like we are all so subjected to a cold harsh un-caring world and society more and more these days.

But then something like this comes closer to us and it must always be remembered, even when it may not seem like it, there is more good in this world than bad, I would like to believe.

I will send money to Bretts account today for only $20.00, what will 20.00 dollars buy you that is more important than this brave innocent little girl given a few moments of happiness,happiness that perhaps we have taken for granted in our longer lives. Little food, more gas,how about a new shirt on sale, what will YOU do with your next $20.00 ?

I CHALLANGE ALL FORUM MEMBERS TO INCLUDE ALL MODELS AND MAKES TO MATCH THE 20.00, it is your COMPASSION that I appeal too.

Those of you that are not inclined to send money, PLEASE keep POSITIVE thoughts and prayers focused in this direction.

I don`t know this little girl, don`t know that I would be emotionally strong enough to handle it, quite frankly. But I do know this, real people with real lives and real feelings fill all those statistics that we commonly glance over. Someday it may be you or a loved one very very near to you.

Would you take consolation knowing people, strangers even, CARE and express LOVE for you?

Please do whatever you can to help. May God Bless everyone concerned.

Thank you Bryan, great job. So far C5 is out everything compared to C6owners. (Although we did get out of the 'gate' much sooner )

No one has even responded to my thread yet in C6. It is sinking fast.

you should really just post the story on the c6 forum start a new thread and you should keep a running total with updating what each forum member donated that will entice ppl to donate such as

c6 c5
joe schmo-$20 Henry Schmo$20

and you can do other classes as well
