Eclipse has teamed up with Santa Monica Subaru and 97.1 FREE-FM's Adam Carolla Show to build a custom vehicle that will be auctioned online, starting October 30, 2007, to benefit the children and families served by Optimist Youth Homes & Family Services , one of the oldest and largest child welfare non-profit agency in California.
The all-new 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX 5-door was fully donated by Santa Monica Subaru and Eclipse provided the sound system, complete with ECLIPSE's new AVN2210p in-dash navigation head unit with detachable TomTom portable device (check out our December issue on newsstands now for a review). The Subie will be unveiled at Optimist's annual Mentors Gala today at the Universal Studios Globe Theater. Danny Bonduce will test drive the car and then kick-off the online auction on October 30th. The auction will run on eBay until November 8th at 11:59 PM.
The highest bidder will be handed the keys to the car at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show on November 24th, where Bonaduce will present a check to Optimist, in the full amount of the winning bid.
