Help a Mutt and Win a Mazda

The Austin Humane Society is currently raffling off a brand spankin’ new Mazda RX8 to help raise funds for their community (animal) outreach programs. Apparently, this sporty little roadster goes from 0-60 in six seconds (unlike our current vehicle, which has a hard time getting up to 60, like, ever). Even better, they’re only selling 5000 tickets and there’s no limit to the number of tickets you can buy (until they run out), so your chances of winning are actually pretty good*. And, even if you don’t win the car, all of the money you spend on ticket(s) will go to help a hapless, helpless, homeless furry friend**. What could be warmer or fuzzier than that? Tickets are $20 each or 3 for $50. The winner will be announced on or before March 31st, so click here to get yours while the gettin's good.
