Some donated before this week, others donate tons of time/help.
I could certainly use a DMD, but i haven't got $20 or more after a new baby... see my point?

I agree with ray.
I agree also. My 3L swap drained me of all my cash, I haven't been working as many hours, and now I have bills piling up. I want to donate money to CEG badly, because I've been on here a long time, I love the site and want it to continue in the future, but at this time, I can't donate anything.

how bout this ray, i have a 5 month old baby, so i know exactly what its like. Luckily tho ive been meaning to donate to ceg but dont like the idea of opening a paypal account, so i contacted lance for his address (before this whole raffle thing was suggested) and i will be sending lance some money. If we do have a raffle i will give you my ticket since i dont want/need the rims (actually i need struts) but if the raffle ticket is transferable then ill transfer it to you. If not, then if i with the ticket then ill give you whatever i win, you live close enought.

Man, you have no idea what a wonderfully caring gesture that is.
I am in DIRE need of rims.. they are all SEVERELY curb rashed, and out of balance (stupid hit and run IDIOTS!!!) and the car drives terribly because of that.
Good things go around, and I always make sure of that!!
In your debt...

I think this is an awesome idea as well...i donated to lance before this was suggested as well and i was also thinkin, if its a possibility, that we should put Jeds name and car or a special recognition thanking Jed on the homepage because if he wouldnt have done something like this than i dont think we would have gotten near the amount of money that has been contributed over the last week or so...good luck to us all with the rims and thanks again Jed!

Wouldn't this be similar to a suggestion which was made a few weeks ago in reply to our funds being low? As in those who contribute a lot gets to have special recognition on their screen names? Maybe not that good an idea.
And in any case, I don't think any of us will forget this gesture from Jed.

I just donated $40... it's worth it for this site. But man, being a full-time student, that's like multiple Chipotle trips! 
I also asked in the donation that, if Jed is doing a $20 ticket raffle, one ticket be in my name and one in Ray's. Dude's earned it, the walking Contour database that he is.... And nice, to boot!

You guys don't know how much you continue to make me smile.
People complain about this site, and all the terribly mean people on it... I surely am not seeing that.
You guys have NO IDEA how much I could use a new set of rims. I was telling one guy I was talking to about the stock rims I have now. They're all curb-rashed and unbalanced.. they really make for a terrible ride in the car (and the wife makes sure that I don't forget about that EVERY TIME we ride... lol)
Man, oh man.... This would really make my year!
