Yep!!!! And he'll put it there if your not careful just because he has a fetish for that kind of stuff!

Mike is done with the sadness, he's moved on and is ready to be happy with the time he has left.

So, with that said, feel free to hammer away and let the Prick have it.

^^ looks like Kenny Meyer's front yard. POSI Run II or III I believe. That was a good day. Mike and the family were down for fried chicken, swimming, some bench racing...and the usual burnouts. Good times!

Sorry to hear all of this, but it makes us all think about how we should spend each day.

I know the donations are just a drop in the bucket, a small token from Hill Performance is on it's way.

I have never met Mike but with the support I am seeing on this board he must be someone very special. Count me in for $100.

Kind of reminds me of " It's a wonderful life "

Mike, my prayers are with you and the family. My brother, Ponchjoe, told me about this a few days ago, before I had a chance to get on the forums. I've been reading the posts but it took me till now to be able to reply. I survived prostate cancer, but I was lucky and they happened to catch it early, I wish it could be that way for EVERYONE.

I've known Mike for several years now, I've been to his place, and shot the breeze with him at POCI and Norwalk. He is a great guy, he may be a prick, lol, but definitely appreciated!

And, as for all the other pricks, delinquents, and outcasts (as we Pontiac faithful are), my belief that we are a family has been strengthened 100fold with the way everyone has responded. I believe in the power of prayer, so please GOD, read this and heal him, he still has a lot of work to do in this world.

Prayers sent, donation to follow shortly, hang in there, my friend.

After speaking with Mike yesterday, I am also convinced that he is indeed at peace for the first time since I met him at the 2008 Norwalk Tri-Pwr Nats. He now has a serenity about him that's only possible after accepting your fate and choosing to spend the time you have left being happy, without regrets or sadness .

At least I thought I talked to Mike even though he never raised his voice or told me get screwed even one time during our lengthy conversation .
