"Philly Fix My Car" update: goal nearly reached; surplus will be donated

Update on a post of mine from last month: Some Phillies "fans" took advantage of the celebrations when the Phils won the World Series a couple of weeks ago, and they started flipping cars on Broad Street. Local filmmaker Ted Passon owns one of the cars that was flipped, so he started up a blog asking for donations toward fixing or replacing his car. After getting some publicity through the area ABC and Fox affiliates, and some serious word-of-mouth around the country, he's almost got what he needs:

[N]ow that he is just $200 away from a good deal on a used Saturn, Passon said he will give any donations that exceed his $4,000 goal to other people whose cars were also flipped that night, including three people who found him through his Web site. He said nine out of ten donations have been for $10 or less but his largest donation was from a man in Texas who "blew me away" with a gift of $500.

If you have some cash to spare, I hope you'll help Ted out.
