By now everyone has gotten the "What auto compaines donated for the 9/11
attacks" and then goes on to list all the major manufactuers and what they
supposedly donated, point being that only the major US compaines kicked in

Well, it turns out its FALSE. But as we all know by now, once it makes it

heavily from an article that was done by Woman Motorist magazine (hm.. takes

out. No matter what country they are based in.
Now I doubt my email will be forwarded to everyone you know like the
original was.
