Board Collection

Been awhile since we have taken up a collection to help Mike Savino maintain this Board.

This Board provides an uncensored, unerased data bank of info that is helpful not only in fixing broken cars, but also provides a means to check out vendors and individuals that one may, or may not, wish to do business with.

Further, it provides a home for Gothmog and me so that can maintain all the threats against us in one place so we don't have to hop from board to board seeking out daily amusement.

To start it off, I have made a donation to Mike so he can make a downpayment on a 604 Xeno mb.

Thanks for all you do!

That is a great idea, Steve. And with the Canadian dollar being as high as it is, it is even a better idea.

Liberalism faltered when it turned out it could not cope with truth. D. Moynihan

Some in my party threaten to send a message that they don't know a just war when they see it, and more broadly that they're not prepared to use our military strength to protect our security and the cause of freedom. Joe Lieberman

Somehow liberals have been unable to acquire from life what conservatives seem to be endowed with at birth: namely, a healthy skepticism of the powers of government agencies to do good. Daniel Moynihan

Does getting a friend to buy one of those 240+ amp chrome alternators count?

The weight savings on the mini-alternator is about 4lbs.
