August 3, 20232 yr I'm thinking of starting a GoFundMe myself. I really need a Bugatti Chiron. Any chance you guys could contribute a few 100's of thousands? Edited August 3, 20232 yr by martin-w
August 3, 20232 yr Author Moderator Thanks to the generosity of my friends here as well as at FSDeveloper, the goal has been met and I am hoping to arrange for my poor car to be towed to the repair shop tomorrow so it can hopefully be fixed quickly.I had two appointments at the Veterans Administration Clinic this morning, so had to call for a ride from SCAT mini-bus service. They charged me $15 for roundtrip service, which frankly is very reasonable considering that UBER car ride wanted $60 for the same trip!! Fr.

I'm asking USD$ 3.1 million for my my Bugatti Chiron Noire. If the GoFundMe guys here can meet that price it's yours. But if that isn't possible, how about something a bit better. I'll take USD$ 63 million for my 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO. Or how about USD$ 12000 for my 2014 Honda Accord (it's only been driven 103435 miles).......
