Guys, I'm just getting back to this thread and wanted to share with you how great it is to see all of you rallying around a really terrible situation, for a good cause. I love the "family feeling" on this board. Here's an update. After the tests this week, they know for sure that the cancer has taken up residency in Dwayne's liver. They found 7 tumors on his liver and at least 3 of them are 2-3 inches in size. No matter what route he elects to take at this time, every day is a precious and valuable commodity to him (as it should be for all of us). I believe that your prayers and automotive brotherhood give him strength and a reason to keep pushing on. I know that he appreciates each and every one of you.
On a different note, I wanted to mention that I get the feeling that this story is going to break nationally, if not on TV like 20/20 or 60 Minutes, then most assuredly in the national car mags. When I accompanied Dwayne and Danny to Roy Hunt's place, the whole place gave me the willies. Roy went from one apparent customer to the next, bringing them into his office and closing the door so that other people couldn't hear what was being said. I had a bad feeling about the situation at that very moment. The Viper community has also had a guy or two like this. The word got around about them and it saved many from being taken as well. Let's hope that this has a good outcome as I'd love to see Dwayne enjoy his car a little bit if at all possible.
Tonight, Danny told me that they are supposed to be finishing the car by Jan. 15 and will release it if he comes up with a couple of thousand dollars MORE (on top of the $140,000 that he's paid). You'd think that after all this, they'd say to forget the few grand. What goes around comes around.
Thanks again for all your support guys!
