That's unnecessary. A donation is a donation, regardless of the amount. There's nothing to be gained by disclosing those who donate.

Wow, i think folks are over thinking this...

Its a slippery slope either way for him. If @Frs300 states a goal that is deemed too high then folks will say he is taking advantage of the good nature of the community and being greedy. If he receives a fair amount of money, even though the goal may be low, then he will be viewed as taking advantage of the community and being greedy. Why make him a victim again...

This isn't about the amount, it is about the gesture...

If you have a personal issue or concern about giving, that is fine. Really!! To each their own.

He didn't ask me to do any of this and I see no need to put him under additional scrutinization or ask him to jump through hoops as a result.

I agreed. Just saying to everyone I did not mean for it to have been rude. I should have re worded what I said. I wish him the best and boost forever being that it's built lol. I did not mean for people to say Lexus donated 100.00 bucks I meant like a goal is 1000.00 dollars lol and a list of those who donated so that they can be recognized and as we'll that he reached his goal of this donation. Weather it's 10 bucks or 1000 dollars.

Understood, but my point still stands. He has NO obligation to disclose the cumulative amount of the donations he has received. He will have a list of those who donated through paypal and he can thank folks individually through that channel if he wishes. No need to overcomplicate a simple act of kindness.

I didnt set this up so I had no goal in mind. I guess if i had to set a goal It would be just to cover whatever parts are messed up and stuff i didnt get.

head studs
motor mounts
clutch
bigger pump
return system
oem parts that are jacked up

thats all stuff im going to have to pay for out of pocket might be more stuff after motor comes out who knows. I dont really want to think about it

This isn't a kickstarter. This is for people who want to donate due to all the shit he's been through. I'm sure any amount of money would be welcome. And at this point he's probably over 50k deep in this mess...

Sad the crap job FA20club did. I'd much rather this money go to suing their asses but either way as longs as its used well

I'll be donating as soon as my check clears, GL @Frs300

Lots of different ways to think about this, whether or not people think he's mooching isn't even an issue.

Guaranteed the amount needed to get his car up and running 100% will dwarf the amount donated.

Best of luck, Brandon. I'm sure you're getting a hold of @FullBlown for a return system. A single Walbro 400 in their return system will reach your goal with ease, and with plenty of headroom, for a very affordable price.

Donated. Not much, but trying to help out someone who had a truly shitty thing happen. Here's a thought - after every week or two maybe @Frs300 could post how much has been raised so we as a community can pride ourselves on helping one another. If not it's cool. Good luck man.
