I would say the first Frum Satire Fundraiser was pretty successful, I was able to scrounge together a few grand and buy the second car I went to look at, a 1999 Subaru Forester (yes I know it’s a lesbian car) with 144k miles on it. Of course, it needed a little work – cost for the car has come to $3600 plus $296 in DMV fees (I spent 5 hours at the DMV on Monday and I’m officially a California resident now)
So yeh, the fact that some of you fine folks gave me money was a real boost for me, it made me think that there is this huge silent majority out there, the people who don’t comment and generally don’t communicate with me. I was kind of surprised at the amount of non-Jews who gave me money – it appears that there are a lot more non-Jews reading my site than ever before and that’s super cool, maybe I’ll become the insiders source for orthodoxy and explode with ad-revenue.
I raised close to $700 all together and one person even sent me some cash in the mail. Of course I had to borrow some money from a friend who wants it back this week – which means I have to borrow that money from another friend to pay him and due to the fact that I already booked my flight for succos several months in advance – I’m missing a lot of hours that I need, but the Lord provides.
Thank you all again – I would have pictures, but my camera broke – so if anyone wants to donate an old digital camera I’m down. Oh and thank you to Ari who gave me his old iPhone today – now I feel so northern California.
first comment!
how much did you raise hesh?
Didn’t read the post did ya?
Apparently not
SUBARU ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I drive a Baja (manual!), it’s an awesome set of wheels (the dyke jokes will get old very fast – but only to you. everyone else will crack them for as long as you drive the thing. trust me)
is it automatic or stick?
I don’t drive auto cars
red – is it automatic or stick?
Dykes don’t have sticks!
I test drove a Subaru a few years ago, the manual seemed a bit.. rougher than a honda or toyota…. but as long as it does not have a turbo, I am sure it will get you by fine… I just got a 2003 Camry with 72000 on it myself…
We are gonna have a maximum budget of $5000 to spend in the next few months on a used car and want either a Honda or (distant second) Toyota. Mostly we’ll be using this car for road trips a couple of times a month. We’ve never wanted anything to do with a vehicle before. Oh yeah, and we want an automatic on my account, LOL.
I heard that Subarus can have problems with oil (?) … not sure what that means. Seemingly every fifth person in Eugene Oregon has a Subaru wagon like Heshy’s. Anyway, what we’d really like is a Civic hatchback.
If Ryan were the type of person willing to sleep in a vehicle, I’d lobby harder for a truck or van, but he refuses even to share a room in a hostel dorm in terms of creature comforts, much less is he gonna to be willing to sleep with gear in a sleeping bag in the back of a truck. ;^D
As for me, I have a scary amount of adventurous endurance; a night in the back of a truck would be the Ritz compared to what I’m willing to cheerfully endure in the pursuit of cheap-ass travel, LOL. :^)
Contrary to recent news reports, I have never had an issue with a toyota, even one I got in rough shape with over 200K on it when I was broke and needed a car. My ex wife did kill a Honda transmission once though. My Vibe is Toyota Engined, and has 93000 miles, runs beautifully, been all over, from Cali to Vienna with it, and well, I just got a Camry with 71000 miles on it, and plan to have it for quite a while as well…
Mazal Tov on the car, Heshy!
Re: “So yeh, the fact that some of you fine folks gave me money was a real boost for me, it made me think that there is this huge silent majority out there, the people who don’t comment and generally don’t communicate with me.” — just food for thought, but names on here and names on donations are prolly different…
I think I’ll settle on a Black Camaro until I can splurge on the Audi R8…..
I need a car-anyone want to help?
yes I know it’s a lesbian car
Nonsense! It doesn’t even have a tongue.
But I’ll have to tell my dad, he’s on his second or third Forester.
Hesh,
What did you mean by the first fundraiser? Do you have any more planned?
You’re welcome.
Where’s the jewelry I was promised?
My brother drove a Forester for years and he is quite straight, thank you.
…fag….
I need a car-and I am a Jew-mine burned up and I need it to get groceries and take Mike to the doctor, so please help me-wbrendakay@yahoo.com
