Something in my eye...
http://www.startribune.com/local/707...tml?page=1&c=y

Pretty awesome story.

Sad, but still pretty awesome.

TL;DR, Kid has an '86 fiero he's restoring, gets terminal cancer, internet restores the car for him.

edit - car being revealed http://www.facebook.com/video/video....0504286&ref=nf

A good friend of my brothers just restored a Fiero, I believe he put a v8 in it. All I really know is its sick and fast.

I hope and pray for the best for the kid.

Wow, having re-read that I kinda feel like an ******* considering the kid can't walk.

Disclaimer: It's from a TV show, in no way/shape/form am I attempting to poke fun at people who can't walk.

This **** wouldn't fly on ST:A. Nah, it'd probably end up being "pics or shens" for the first 30 minutes, and then the thread would get closed, and the kid would die of cancer. The end.

But cool story.

It's OK. I can walk so I wasn't offended.
