Eric,
  Greg, from long ago. I like the 50/25/25 split. I like the paypal accout deal also. I hope to be @ this years CATJAM. I have a few mod's in the making and I'll have to see how they are coming out.:D

we could have the real cars in here"..."these cars aren't even classics


If you can do a burnout it's real, and these are "new" classics. It doesn't surprise me that people would say such things.

Throughout the rest of the day there were many comments like "ugh, why are these cars taking up spaces when we could have the real cars in here"..."these cars aren't even classics, they aren't very nice at all."


Oh, I've heard much, much worse than that about my car. One guy came up and took off running after he said his insult. It was something like "you want another one of these, I have one next to my garage and it's a piece of s#!t just like yours." I guess he thought I would go after him.

Plan sounds good Eric. I'm basically in the same boat Steve's in. I'm still not even sure if I'm going to be able to make it.

I know Im not going to be able to make it there this year if I still have the same job next year I wont be there either so since Im not really giving anything my opinion really isnt worth much. but here it is anyway. the 50 25 25 sounds like a great idea.unless youre going to do more then 3 then it'l be 40 20 20 20 and so on I suck at math this early in the morning. but honestly I think the children and animal shelter should get the most if not close to equal shares. after all our kids are going to inherit the planet after we're all gone and they have to live with the animals so thats kind of a tough one especially since its such a limited ammount. which like said earlier anything is more then what they had before. its just that after being on a tight budget and having all the ideas for the cars and stuff you realize exactly how nice the least little ammount is. in the future I plan on making it to one of the cat jam shows if nothing else just to meet the other people from the board as well as show off a little. I think its cool what everyone one of the people who go to catjam every year does by donating what they can anyway just my two cents.
oh and just a question doesnt the term new classic kind of contradict itself? :D

hey eric, Im with crystal on giving to animals, we always use a pet charity when helping with the local sport bike club.  But i thought this may be a appropriate charity to consider.  I havent really checked them out, but It'll get your attention.

I like the cougarfund idea. I'll donate as soon as school is over and I get a chance to work again!

I like Eric's 50/25/25 plan. I don't personally like to donate to larger "not for profit" organizations. It's kind of like buying from Wal-Mart as opposed to the local hardware store. The local guy knows local needs better, and you keep your money in your community.

The larger places take their roles more for granted and have higher paid "executives" and consequently, more waste.
