Sam and Adele

[Sam Conder]

Um, wow... tears again...

TOTAL: $2120

What do I say? "Thank You" doesn't cover it... I am unable to express my feeling to each of you, but I will find a way.

Bump......

I'll see your bump and add this:

Finally got my PayPal account fixed! I'll take the back seat or anything else you can get with $25. I am sure it will all works out for Sam & Adel.

Oooh, you lucked out, because this excellent sponsorship opportunity was still open:

Door locks and handles--four at $10, $25 for all

IMO, that's a lot more bang for the buck than the $35 back seat.

Back Seat?

You can name the stereo (I assume it's got tunes???) after me. If it's already spoken for, I'll take the glove compartment.

It's got an AM/FM Cassette. I'll make sure and place a GERMDOC label on it if I get it. Thanks.

UPDATE: $1820 + a few more mailed checks

Again, folks... my sincerest thanks go out to each and every one of you. What was looking like an impossible situation has turned into an incredible personal blessing.

If you haven't seen the potential new BT3Mobile, check out this thread.

There are still a bunch of sponsorships available, from mud flaps to back seat to roof rack, so I wanted to keep the thread on top.

I bet the mail at Sam and Adele's yesterday and today will be full of surprises...

no tax implication

Only if someone claims it as a donation on their taxes which probably is not allowed anyway. And the $10K and less rule applies. What Uncle don't know won't hurt him.

The exemption limit is now $12,000 before any gift taxes are considered. Anyone of us can give up to $12k to both Sam and Adele before gift taxes need to be declared and paid. So Sam if you are not running BT3Central as an incorporated business then I don't think you should be treating the annual fund drive as income. You should question your accountant on this.

I'm in for the wiring. $50 sent via PayPal.

Now that is a wonderfully appropriate sponsorship.

Neat how some of the forum names and sponsorships kind of go together--the swingking hood hinge; the Mark MT transmission; and the backpacker85 load-carrying springs/shocks.

This was a question of mine. I will be sure to check with an accountant regarding the tax liability and plan accordingly. BT3Central is not a corporation and therefore does not have a tax ID number. My SSN is the tax ID so I report all of the BT3Central Fund Drive as income on my taxes every year and then claim the server bills and DSL bills as expenses. I doubt I could justify a "company car" for BT3Central.

stick a BT3Central.com sticker on each side, then claim each trip you take in it as advertising expense......

(As an accountant, I honestly have come accross people that do this)

From the black sheep of "The Family" in Seattle I'm in through PayPal.
