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. The auction is currently taking place
on eBay.
