  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I saw we were only $474 from our goal of $10,000 today.......SO I was thinking I would challenge someone here to half after I give half of whats left.....$237.........Simply because I would probably waste it on something I don't really need, and Mike NEEDs our help..........just sayin'

    WHO"S WITH ME?

    Well, if your going to do that, you should have the updated number.. we have had several other donations today, and with 72Stage1's $237, we are just $105 short of our goal..

    Current total $9895.00

    Great Job folks, much more than I had ever imagined here.

    That's quite alright, we'll get that last $105 I'm sure..............I'm super glad to help Mike out, as I said before, he was my first introduction into the Buick World back when I was 17.

    Out of the thousands of club members on this site if they just sent one dollar we would be well above this amount. VERY IMPRESSIVE being so few have donated.

    Monday Feb 19 update.. our goal has been met, but I will leave the home page hack up for another week or so, in case someone wants to give. Then we will shut that down, and forward the second $5K (or more) payment to Mike and his family.

    Great Job Folks!
