I don't like the paypal fees so i will be donating directly to the redcross, that way they get the most money which they definately need at this point.

edit.. just donated $100, now someone buy my wheels so i can donate more.. funds are short when your a student

No worries, Alex
Donations made directly to the Red Cross are great. I'm jsut doing this to provide some incentive to people.

Tygma · 09-03-2005, 02:58 AM

Hey Kev.. I was able to send 10 bucks out. It isn't much but it's what I got for now. At least it will be enough food for somebody..

mav1178 · 09-03-2005, 11:49 PM

I already talked with Kevin on this.... but wanted to give you guys a heads up.

I will post some things on Ebay tomorrow to sell, with all proceeds going to the Salvation Army. Kevin has my permission to post the links in the For Sale forum.

It won't be anything crazy, just stuff for 240SX people (some stock, some aftermarket, some new some used)...

BUT if you are considering making a donation, I would ask you to bid on the items UP TO THE AMOUNT YOU ARE WILLING TO DONATE. And I will throw in free shipping out of my own pocket, so what you bid is what you pay, no more no less.

And if my calculations are correct, I think I can get ~$400+ out of these parts, depending on how "generous" people are.

I'll put up the link tomorrow.

slidell is bad, 20+ power poles just snaped with in the first mile i could drive around. there are numerous trees down, we were hit with numerous tornados, the flooding was horrible, we were in the middle of a sr and a ca swap in my friends cars, so im hoping that the motors and everythign are ok.... other than that all of my friends evacuated except for me, i decided to ride out the storm.....boy was it fun! i dont expect to have power back to slidell for atleast a month....hopefully sooner....it sucks bein away from home...

anyways im in the Atlanta/Gainsville part of GA if any of u guys live up here pm me im sooooooo bored! and i need a few parts lol

**mrmephistopheles** · 09-03-2005, 04:13 PM

ANOTHER LIFETIME PREMIUM MEMBER!!!

SaintlyCharBoy sent in $103.30 (exactly $100 after paypal fees - nice work)!!
Tygma also sent in $13.50 ($12.81 net), not just $10.

Current total is: $365.78

I think we'll send off the first donation as soon as we reach $500.

Thansk again to everyone who has donated to this cause. Zilvia is lucky to have you as members.

evanl85 · 09-03-2005, 04:22 PM

Damn, minutes ago I just donated directly through the red cross website, and I could have gotten a premium membership!! Haha. Oh well, it is the cause that counts.

Wow, it's so great that zilvia is helping out with the relief effort. I know New Orleans is very bad, but the south MS area got hit pretty hard too. My house was taken away, as well as many others in the area. Some of the casino barges are sitting on land now. I'm sure you guys have seen it all on tv though. The biggest problem down here is finding gas. Well thanks so much guys.

$100.00 recieved. Your Lifetime Premium Membership will be set up within the next few days. Thank you for helping out.

Our first Zilvia Donation has been made to the RedCross to the sum of $500. We are still are still collecting, and I will kick the money over to RedCross when we get another good amount. We are at $129.95 right now. I'd like at least $300 before the next RedCross transaction. Thank you everyone for your support.

SilviaDriver · 09-09-2005, 01:50 AM

lemme deposit my check and see how much i can give up.

matic 240sx · 09-09-2005, 11:31 PM

hi, i rarely have time to check on zilvia.net lately... and my world has been a mess ever since this whole thing started. i grew up in Gulfport, MS and just a few years ago moved to New York. my friends and family have all been in touch with me and ive made a couple trips back and fourth. it was really difficult at first wondering if i would ever hear from my mom again. who emailed me from her office in gulfport 2 hours before it hit land. she runs the road department in gulfport so i didnt think she would leave since it would mean tons of work for her after it hit. 4 days later i finally got to speak with her it was a huge relief... and now im dealing with my friends one by one who no longer have jobs, homes and im still trying to get a hold of other family members. i donated through a few places online and im trying to just find something else to do online other than look at pictures of places that i grew up that are destroyed.. and i come here and see this.. you guys are amazing.

thank you

OdessaS13 · 09-10-2005, 01:39 AM

im still waiting for my paycheck but ill donate as soon as i can, i wonder if they will rebuild new orleans in same location or move it up to higher ground to avoid any more disasters like this one.

MovinUp-1 · 09-10-2005, 08:40 AM

Thank you to the people of zilvia.net for doing this. It is very kind and generous of you. i live (lived) in chalmette, LA. I never thought I would see Wolf Blitzer on CNN talking about it. OUr entire parish has been devistated. Every home flooded to the roof. My shop on the westbank was undamaged but I will have to close anyway. I doubt there will be anyone in New Orleans looking for performance parts for a long time. My family and I are in Houston right now. I went back to NO a couple of days ago to move everything out of the shop. We are more than likely going to move to houston since my wife's company headquarters is here. Very sad times right now.

Anyway, thank you all again. Your donations will help those that need it most.

mav1178 · 09-12-2005, 12:23 AM

Thanks everyone for the support! $239 was the final selling price of all 4 items, and two people already paid!!!

THANK YOU!!! and see the post below for another fundraiser from me!
