I can't believe you'd donate the whole damn car when there are so many people, me included, who could use parts from him (him????). Are you're doing it for a tax deduction? If Ross meant so much to you, why not let him live on with your fellow CEG'ers? That's a much more fitting and respectful way to treat him--not the junk yard!! Jeez, it even hurts to say that and I didn't even know him. How 'bout it?

I think I have found a couple of better charities... both would fix Ross as mechanic training and then either sell the car (and I could see a guy working on Ross wanting to buy him when he's done... it normally happens with the cooler cars donated) or provide him to a needy family to drive.
In both cases, he would be spared the junkyard and being disassembled, yet be given the intensive care I cannot provide.

if the body is stil in decent shape and peopel are willing to fix it just sell to someone who is willing to put time into it. no use in lettign a csvt die so easily. back when my mr2 threw a rod threw the block i didnt give up on it even though peopel said the car was odl and has tons of miles on it. i put a newer motor in it and it came back stronger than ever. im sure someone would have the same enthusiastic approach that i had towards my old mr2. mayeb someoen has a wrecked tour out there with a good motor and tranny they could drop into it. if i had the cash i would make you an offer and just drop my s.e. motor and tranny in it just to have an svt.

TAX DEDUCTION if he gives it to a charity. Smartest way to go in my opinion. Also, SVT Contours have good resale, so James would be getting a good deduction.
