Found a 10 year old that needs help. The poor thing has been neglected it's entire life.

It's in upstate NY, not far from our new home. It needs a new home. A loving home.

It's 2007 Z06 with only 78 miles on it. 30 of those miles were applied by the foster home (stealership) it is now at. Poor thing has never seen a gas station, or a car wash. Has never made the pilgrimage to Carlisle, let alone it's birth home, Bowling Green. It has never had an oil change. Or bug guts plastered on it's nose. It has never been the target of pigeons or seagulls.

With your generous donation, we will adopt this poor car, and give it the loving home it deserves. We will take it to cruise nights, and perhaps drip ice cream on the leather. We will take it to Carlisle, where it can frolic with it's extended family. We will event take it back to it's birth home, where it can see it's baby siblings be born. We will take it to famous landmarks, and take photos, to share with you, to prove that this car is being loved. We will take this car to HPDE events and drive the car as it was designed to do. Take the car to breath-taking speeds, just as fast as it is willing to go.

However, we can't do this without your generous donation. Please give from the heart, which is right next to your wallet, so this 2007 Z06 can live the life it was meant to live.

The sad thing is that this would not be the most "out there" page on Go Fund Me

it would only make sense if you got to drive it proportional to how much you contributed.

$1 = 1 mile.

the larger donors have first call on driving it, smaller donors have to wait until bigger donors have used up their miles.

i'm in for $0.40.

We would bring it to where you are, and allow you to drive. Or, if there was an HPDE or track day near where you are, we could meet you at the event, and allow you to drive the car as it was meant to be driven.

This offer is good for contributions of $10k or more.

$48k for a top ten of garage queens? Meh, I'll laugh when someone buys it and then wants to immediately put it on the road.
