No problem :) The Geek Group is not only a 501(c)(3) certified non-profit corporation, but with membership in 14 countries and 28 states we're the largest of our type on Earth :) Check out our sponsor page, we give deductions for companies all over the world in exchange for donated goods and services.

I *fully* understand, I have a serious passion for DeLoreans myself, that's why:

1. We're looking for a DeLorean that is NOT in mint condition, I could never destroy such an endangered species.

2. All of the parts we remove from the car will be sold back into the DeLorean community instead of put on a shelf to rot, or shipped to a landfill. Not one part of this car will be destroyed, even down to the nuts and bolts, it will either live in this DeLorean, ot in someone elses.
