you already laid out the rules in your first post, just giving it to anyone is a heck of a gesture don't let anyone make you feel guilty, it's YOURS to give. Give it to one of the first 10 that replied like you said, anyone that gets it will be appreciative and remember it Im sure!

I am not sure what you count as the first ten, but I thought I would drop my reply in anyway (nothing ventured, nothing gained).

My father has an un-modded 2004 A4 Coupe, and he had a liver transplant (non-alcohol related) in September and is finally recovering well and I couldn't think of anything better to give to him for Father's Day as he has always been there for me.

Though going to the kids would be just as well, nonetheless, what you are doing is very generous.

Well as the post above me said nothing ventured not gained

I just bought my 03 Z06 last Monday. Drove 3 hours away to get it after work. Got there at 8 signed papers and was out at 9:30, got five minutes down the road and was slammed into by some guy goin nearly 25 over the limit as I was tryin to hit my exit on the way home. Had to put my new baby/dream car on a tow truck after only 10 minutes of owning it.... Needless to say there were a couple tears but hoping to pick it up in the next week or so Had to wait in the hospital lobby until 3am for my mom to pick me up for the 3 hour drive back and still go to work the next day with no car to show for my trouble : Would love to have some stuff sitting on the doorstep waiting for it when she can come home.

I was going to suggest the Toys for Tots fund but since your against that figured I could share my story. Thanks guys and I'm sure some lucky person will be greatly appeciative! - Chris

This is a Very Nice gesture on you and your wife's part and should be commended for it!

I don't need anything else for my car, but here's my idea.

You could take it and put it up for auction for St. Jude's Children. The auctions are usually posted in the sticky section.

People do that quite often and it helps some Very Unfortunate kids that would Really Appreciate it!

Just a thought and GOD Bless!

A very generous gift, it could multiply the generosity at a fundraising event. Whatever you choose

I thought it WAS your Wifes decision?

I'll vote for the Kids.

Hi Guys!
Ricks wife here. I have read all the replies and since Rick left this up to me I have picked a winner. It's not from the first ten I'm sorry to say.
I picked AU Eagle. He wants to give it to his father on Fathers day for his 2004 Coupe. Since he has gone through so much with his transplant surgeries I think it might boost his spirits abit.
Ricks still upset that I won't let him modify my 98 convertible anymore. He can do anything he wants to his own Vette or the Harley
Thanks,
Arleen
