According to Pastor Steven Heintze (Hind-Tza), "It is important that we
not forget those who suffered this past Fall from the effects of Hurricane
Katrina. At Pathway, we asked our members to be willing to sacrifice this past
year and do something for those in need. We were blessed to have received such
a wonderful donation in our offering plate, however, there is very little the
congregation can do with this exciting gift in its present form. After a brief
discussion with the donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, we decided that the
best thing we could do would be to auction the car off and donate 100% of the
proceeds to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, which is consistent with his
wishes and our goals of making sure our brothers and sisters in the Gulf
states are not forgotten, particularly during this season of peace."
The 500 horsepower, V-10, convertible, red sports car is currently on
display in the showroom at the Honda of Bowie Dealership on Route 301 in Bowie
Maryland. According to Honda of Bowie President, Phil Morelli, "The car is in
fantastic shape, comes with a number of additional options and features and
should easily go for over $50,000, particularly considering the cause."
Morelli goes on to say that: "Honda of Bowie is pleased to have been asked
to offer its facility for this wonderful gesture. The ownership of Honda of
Bowie had many families impacted by the disaster in the Gulf States and we are
pleased to help in any way we can, including offering our showroom for
potential bidders to come out and see this magnificent car up-close."
The Viper will be on display at the Honda of Bowie showroom until the end
of the auction to the highest bidder. Over 2,500 people have downloaded the
auction on eBay, with the current bid standing at $32,000.
