Does giving you car to charity cause a red flag at the IRS?
Well, only to the degree that there is a recent (last year or two) change and the procedure to get a dedcution for doing so now is exacting and needs to be followed. Only qualified charities actually have the ability to provide you all of what you need. If it's done correctly, it isn't a problem. In the case of a contribution of a “qualified vehicle” (defined below), generally an auto, boat, or airplane (other than inventory), the claimed value of which exceeds $500, no deduction is allowed unless the taxpayer (1) substantiates the contribution by a contemporaneous written acknowledgement from the donee organization containing specified information and certification(s) and (2) includes the acknowledgement with the tax return on which the deduction is claimed. For the deduction limit for contributions of qualified vehicles. Code Sec. 170(f)(12)(A)(i) . The content and timing of the acknowledgement depend on whether the donee organization: ... sold the vehicle without significant intervening use or material improvement. ... didn't sell the vehicle before significant intervening use or material improvement, ; or ... sold the vehicle below fair market value (or gratuitously transferred it) to needy individuals in furtherance of the donee's charitable purpose. A donee organization may provide the acknowledgment to a donor in any reasonable manner. Copies B and C of Form 1098-C may be used for this purpose. If the claimed value of the vehicle is at least $250 but not more than $500, the substantiation requirements for charitable contributions of $250 or more apply. A qualified appraisal is generally required for charitable contributions of property valued at more than $5,000. However, qualified vehicles that are sold without significant intervening use or material improvement are exempted from that requirement if the required acknowledgement is provided. Charities often hire third parties to run their vehicle donation programs. IRS has approved a charity's use of a third-party agent to solicit donations of used cars, sell the cars, transfer the sales proceeds to the charity (less the agent's fee), and provide the required written acknowledgement of the donation. Since many charitable donations are made near the end of the year, it may not be possible for a taxpayer to claim a charitable deduction for a donated vehicle on a return filed by the original due date.

Who chased the Jews through the red sea?
Exodus 14:23 says that the pharaoh of the time pursued Moses and the Israelites into the Red Sea. Verse 14:28 says that the waters returned, drowning the pharaoh and the entire army, so that no one survived.
From a historical perspective, this account is puzzling, as all the pharaohs of the Late Bronze Age have been accounted for, and not one of them could have been the pharaoh of Exodus. This is just one reason almost all scholars say there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible.

What are the differences between the red sea and Mediterranean sea?

the red sea runs along the North Eastern Edge of Africa. Some archeologist's suggest that it is such named because of a seasonal bloom of a water plant called Trichodesmium erythraeum which produces red color blooms at a certain season every year. Actually, the name, Red Sea comes from a Greek phrase called Erythra Thalassa.
What is the red sea famous for?
Various reasons. It's relatively close to most of the tourist attractions if you stay at Sharm el-Sheikh (one hour flight to Giza for the pyramids, an hour or so to Cairo, a few hours drive to Luxor, a few more to Abu-Simbel) but it's far enough away from Cario to be enjoyable. El Gouna is further away and has less tourist attractions but is much less crowded and touristy kitch than Sharm. However, Sharm el-Sheikh has much better diving and other touristy things, like bigger souks, better fishing, etc... However to get there you have to go via Hourgada, which takes more time (as El Gouna is only 45mn drive or so from the Hourgada airport). Also, Egypt holds some reasonably cheap holidays if you go at the right time. There are also some who go to the Red Sea for religious reasons, wanting to retrace Moses' footsteps.
Was Moses at the parting of the Red Sea?
-----------------------
If it really happened, the parting of the Red Sea can only be considered a miracle. It is such an improbable miracle that some Christian apologists have sought to explain that perhaps it was not the Red Sea but a lesser body of water, such as the Reed Sea, that Moses parted. This is unnecessary, since if God is able to perform miracles, he could surely perform great miracles.
As to whether the parting of the Red Sea really happened, over 90 per cent of scholars are reported to believe that the Exodus from Egypt never happened as described in the Bible. Without an Exodus, there was no parting of the Red Sea and therefore no miracle.
