Disgraceful. If just a portion of that article is true - He should be deeply ashamed!

From the article:
In 2005, the latest year for which tax returns are available, the foundation took in $594,062 in contributions and gave out only $24,944 in grants. More than half of that money went to two charities: the National Institute of Transplantation, which received $10,000, and St. Vincent Meals on Wheels, which received $5,000.

I'd say the whole operation amounts to nothing more than an on-going nationwide CRIMINAL scam – not that different than a telemarketing “charity” scam which gets busted every so often – the difference here though is that sick and dying kids are the ultimate victims! Car guy or not – if true – this is outrageous.
