i think it is safe to say that all they have now is the clothes on their backs.
after what we went through here on the gulf cost, i can fully understand
how they feel now.

On line to let them know that help and support is not that far away.

sorry if this post offends you, and does not tell you how to make
Your truck more powerful or run faster.
As stated above, their is more to life then your trucks performance.
So the next time you want to post to something like this.
take your head out of your *** and don't show everybody just
How cold hearted you are.
praise this man!

yeah dude read what this section is about and show some respect to the people that had thier lives changed forever

for thouse of you that do not know what an F5 tornado is.
it is a twister with winds of 300 miles an hour or higher.
It was an EF5 (they modified the scale) with winds at 210 mph. Winds in excess of 300 mph have never been recorded on the face of the Earth except for the May 3rd OKC tornado. 210 mph winds are still strong enough to flatten a town, as we have all seen. I hope the town recovers quickly from such a devastating loss...

thats terrible

theres gotta be somewhere where you can donate money, we could all pitch up and send some money to one of the admins and ahve then send it on everyones behalf... im sure it wouldnt even put a dent in what these ppl are looking for but the little bit that we might be able to raise might provide some ppl wit food or something
