For real. Me and two other idiots are participating in the 2008 Mongol Rally which is a charity road rally (not a race) that covers nearly 1/3 of the globe. To make it more awesome, each team must drive a car with a 1 liter engine OR LESS.
Here is our recently acquired speedster:

Take a moment to admire the awesome-ness of that car!
It's a 1998 Nissan Micra. Did I mention we're driving it to Mongolia? We are.
When we arrive all the cars will be auctioned and the proceeds will benefit local charities.
Here's the catch. We are required to raise $2,000 in addition to the car purchase. The good news is that we've already raised 80% of it. We just need a little more help to reach (SURPASS) our goal. If you could spare $5 or $10 or $100, we would be extremely grateful. We'd even entertain placing a promotional sticker from your website or blog or comic on the rally car. Imagine your logo traveling over 10,000 miles on a green Nissan Micra through countries like Hungary, Ukraine, Romania and Kazakhstan. (Yes, THE Kazakhstan!)
It's something most logos never do, but yours COULD if you donate.
If you want more information or details about this crazy adventure check out the following sites:
• rallyforcharity.com
• mongolrally.com
If you want to donate, you have two options. The best way is through Will We Make It. It requires you sign up, but all the funds go directly to our charity with a minimum of fees. Or if you prefer, you can use PayPal. Just use the donate button on our site's main page.
Seriously, no donation is too small. Help if you can. I'll be posting more about this as the rally approaches (July 19th). Comment if you have questions.
