My donations? Where are my donations? If I totaled my car I wouldnt be asking for donations to buy another one. A car is a luxury item. I'm blessed to be able to afford it. I would work to buy another one. If my words discourage somebody else from doing something then that's their problem. Words are just that, words. If you don't like what I have to say you don't have to abide by it. I will say how I feel and that is that.

As for my attitude towards others, your right, my attitude isn't for everybody. You like me or you don't. I have plenty of friends so obviously its not as bad as you make it out to be. However maybe I should change it just for you....haha yea right.

started seeing white smoke coming up from under the hood while driving home, immediately turned the car off (didn't even pull over). Before I could get out of the car to see what was going on there were flames coming up from the sides of the hood and the windshield wiper cowl. At which point I got out of the car, walked far away and dialed 911 - told them my location (cross-street) and that the call was for a vehicle fire, no one was injured, and there was no entrapment. She said they were dispatching a trunk and to not go near the car, then hung up.

Well, I donated. Even though I did not get the response like "The Stig" did for his car fund when I asked for help for my sons cancer. Its called respect, hahaha.

I donated to a fellow car enthusiast as we are like minded individuals with lots of blood, sweat, tears and funds in our cars. I have an agreed value policy on my car because I know it is the only way I will get what I have out of mine if something like this happened...and I bet I would still not be fully compensated for all I have in it. As a community, this is a cool thing to do.

There are plenty of places accepting money for Tornado victims and Sandy victims alike.

See this is something worth donating towards

Its nice to help someone out every once in a while, whether it's a necessity or not. Sometimes bad things happen to good people and there isn't any harm in helping if you want to.

My coworker died in a motorcycle wreck that was his own fault. We had two benefits for his family. One benefit was to help with the funeral expenses, then a few months later we had another one so his 4 year old kid could have a decent Christmas, that's right we donated so he could get toys and stuff and his Mom wouldn't have to stress over bills.

Doesn't matter to me if there's a donation thread. A little surprised Stig would accept donations for this kind of thing. Meh

Did you have Lambo doors on it which made the car decide to do what Lambos do - spontaneously combust?
