Another member from Offtopic signing in here. I've been reading for a few days now since this thread was less than 20 pages and have stayed pretty quiet.
Is there a certain time frame in which we're trying to reach $1000? Clearly you'd like it done as soon as possible, but as stated by another member, I'm willing to pay the difference to reach that number should it be necessary.
I'm not in Tampa or Florida at all and in no way affiliated, nor would I be able to attend the donation BBQ, as much as I'd like to. In short, the only way I can help is donating my money. My time is limited and I have economic issues of my own but I've been scammed before and hate to see someone in the situation in need of help.
That being said, import or spyder, please email me @ mlindsey @ gmail.com if and when the time comes that I need to contribute. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be in the area and can use an oil change.

I wish you gentlemen the best of luck.
Joe, I'm sure you're reading this so I'll address you too. You know what you've done and you've been doing it for years. You're the epitome of what's wrong with people today and I look forward to it catching up to you. I'm a compassionate person and I feel for your family but do not mistake kindness for weakness. I make an acception for your case and hope only the worst for you. You'll never learn your lesson and you're a plague on contributing members of society.
In short, get AIDS.
