Ill be at the Mitsustyle cookout for the first time this year, Is anybody gonna be selling these stickers at the cookout?

**scheides** · 07-26-2011

^I only have a couple stickers left sorry, maybe 4 or 5. I can make more if anyone wants them but we need a commitment of 20+ before it will be even close to worth it, unless people are willing to pay extra for them.

I have some news to share, I got this from the family yesterday:

The attorney should have an idea of what it will take for us to get ownership of the EVO this week. We are all moved in down in Kasson. The EVO is in the garage, begging to be driven, lol.

Well, just wanted to give you an update, talk to you soon & again....thank you fro everything!!!!

I am no expert but it seems as though given the circumstances leading up to his death this could have been caught. I know its the real world and all sorts of crazy stuff happens, but it is just really frustrating and sad. At least this helps bring closure to the family and friends. RIP Mike, you will be missed.

Other updates...we are pretty much out of stickers, like 3-4 left. I gave Mike's brother Mark a pile of cash for that and last week I went and helped him inventory a bunch of Mike's Cisco gear...he was studying for his CCIE amongst everything else he was involved in. I'm not sure if that gear will end up in ebay or in my basement as I am studying for the CCIE myself and I think I have the cash to buy it outright from Mark. I also brought it up at work and my company may just buy the stuff, this would basically more than double the cash in Mark's pocket for keeping the Mike's Evo and could certainly be good for everyone.

There has been a trickle of donations here and there, if anyone still wants to donate please don't hesitate, I will leave the donation link up for a while:

If anyone has anymore questions, comments, or concerns, that's what we're here for. Post on up.

I definately still want a sticker.

Thanks for the update Scheides. And also thanks for helping out the family. That is really a great thing for you to do.

If you or someone else wants to bring his car to the Cookout, we can make a spot for it. Either in the EVO X row or up front.

later,
Curt

Thanks for the update and all the help you've provided the family. Still cant believe this happened.

Very sad news. Been out of the loop from the forum for some time. Met him at BIR for the performance driving school and it was during the time it was featured on Life to the Maxx. He actually was caught on camera during the class session.

RIP Mike.
