QUOTE(ottox914 @ Dec 13 2009, 04:52 PM)  QUOTE(RobW @ Dec 13 2009, 12:44 PM) Ottox914, thanks for your donation and for sharing your story. Life is very short, too short, and when tragedies happen, we all feel it. Good luck with your DE next year. Post it here on the world site, and maybe we can add some 914s! Thanks again. BTW - 100%. The DE is for young drivers, who have passed drivers ed, and are in their first year or 2 of driving. We take them on a track, and set up threshold braking, slalom, panic stop, avoidance, and skid pad exercises, each preceded by a short classroom session, with an instructor in the car for each driving session. The students drive their street cars, on street tires. We want them to experience what happens at the limit of traction, how to react, and what happens when you really loose it. (wet skid pad). We encourage an active look out, good driving position in the car, and have a session on knowing your car- how to check air in tires, oil level, where's the spare, jack, owners manual, what the dash lights mean. Its alot of work, and you never know if what you are doing will really make a difference, but at the end of the day, the confidence level of the kids is so much greater, you have just GOT to believe they will be better street drivers, and you hope that if a car is coming at you out of control, its one of your students, so they will react properly and no paint will be damaged. The BMW Club does this too. I brought my oldest boy with a couple of his school friends. The best thing a parent can do for your Teen driver. |

While I realize that paypal are a bunch of money grubbers, that's still my preferred method of payment for this kind of thing. I can't find the paypal address now that the first post is edited. It might be in this thread somewhere still, but I couldn't find it. Please...

QUOTE(RobW @ Dec 12 2009, 03:40 PM) Don't use the edwardblume@gmail.com (Paypal) account from this point on. While this is 100% charity, Paypal takes a different view. PM RobW for different instructions and we'll figure out how to get you in for a donation from here. We are at 72% and have a couple weeks before Christmas to go. Thanks, RobW Disregard my last as I found this post. I want to send paypal anyway. It's quick and easy. Can I not do that at all now? IMO we shouldn't limit the options for payment. Just post the extra cost for paypal? |

This is awesome. I'm really thrilled that we hit our goal so quickly.
Just a question, does Buttercup have a good rebuilt tranny? If not, and if I win, I'd be happy to donate my winnings to the cause. Zach |

Zach Hi Zach, Nice gesture (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Dr Evil was interviewing for his residency in Wichita a month or so ago and made time to get to Garden City and rebuild the transaxle - so the answer is "you betcha" Buttercup with be sporting an EvilWerks gearbox!

All,
First everyone, thank you for getting on board here. Specially the Doc. You are a king among men. I just want everyone to understand this auction was not a fund raiser in the usual sense. Because this is a "Build Off" We only wanted to cover some very basic expenses. Everyone who ever put on an event knows there are serious costs associated with them. We had a very small target. We met our goal and covered the small cost projection we budgeted for this event. That was our only reason for the auction. For anyone still wanting to get in on the auction we have an alternate payment method. You can contact Tat2dphreak by pm. Let him know who you are and where your from and he will send you instructions on how to get in on this. If you can't contact him, contact me and I will get you hooked up in short order. Checks can be sent to: Mike Moorman 816 Sandwedge Ct Andover, KS 67002 We will lock this thread at 12:00 pm (noon) CST on December 15th and shut this thing down. The thread will remain locked. We want to keep the chatter out of this thread until after the drawing. We may open this thread back up long enough to post the screen names of the people that made it into the drawing. The Drawing will be done on Christmas Eve. Great Luck! |
