I had never heard of the Aftermarket Charity .org... never seen them at SEMA, never heard them mentioned in the shops I've worked at... nothing.
The AACF, or Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation, was founded in 1959 to assist automotive aftermarket members and their families who, due to catastrophic illness or terrible accident, have exhausted all other available resources in maintaining a reasonable existence.
Our Mission - to provide sustainable solutions for those in great need - is what drives us every single day. to make good on our mission, we're staffed by a dedicated team of experienced industry executives who donate their time to this worthy cause.
Whether it's you, a loved one, co-worker, or someone you know in the industry that has fallen on hard times due to a catastrophic event or condition, you can turn to the AACF as an advocate and ally in this time of need.
You'd think after 10 years of going to SEMA I'd have heard about this, after all, the Pres and VP, CEO and CFO of SEMA are both in the trustees.
63-year-old guy in Elk River Minnesota (cue Grumpy Old Men) split up with his girlfriend, and when he learned that she immediately had a new boyfriend, he figured he'd prevent her from visiting that guy, by spreading screws on the road, every other day, for two months. 12,000 of them
Over 200 people filled out police reports for flat tires, several people who live in the area had to replace all four of their tires after they drove over them. A few had to replace their tires multiple times.
The Big Lake Police Department said incidents have been reported in Big Lake, Zimmerman, Orrock and rural Sherburne County over the last week.

Tomorrow is someone's chance to be the first new owner of this hot rod since Elvis used it in a 1957 movie. The original owner built it in 1937, and kept it until he died in 2016

40,000 posts... now in the rear view mirror.
Had enough? Time for something new?
Or should there be another 40,000 of more of the same?
I had a thought, that I should tell you that the first 40,000 were free, from now on you gotta pay, you know, like a drug dealer.
