If this story doesn't make you cry nothing will. Make sure you watch the video....
kid buys car for $150. Weeks later he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He'd need a miracle to finish his project car.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After two failed chemo and radiation therapy treatments Tyler decided to return home to die on his own rather than die in a hospital. He hoped he'd be able to finish working on his Fiero. But, running short on strength and time, he turned to the Fiero.com forum for help. It was there where he connected with Andrew Weigel, who quickly worked with other members to assemble a team of fellow Fiero lovers and $4,000 in parts to restore and customize the car. Weigel was not only a fan of the mid-engined sports car, he was also a father with a son one year younger than Tyler.


Less than three weeks later an entire community of car enthusiasts assembled at a local shop in Frazee, Minnesota where Tyler lives. This group created the yellow car, dubbed Tyler's Toy, in just 24 hours. Weigel, who is serving as a Sergeant in the Pennsylvania National Guard in Iraq, watched the entire process from a web cam.

The part that'll really make those tears drop? When it was all done Tyler's dad was supposed to take his son around for a ride, but Tyler was able to summon the strength to drive it himself.
