So i was on my local racing forums..tamparacing.com and found this. www.joedono.info it has been linked to about ever car website there is. So in recape this kid went to japimprots (i think) a very respected tuner/audio/ anything shop. At first he was just having them do a simple paint job which turned into about $16,000 worth of mods. Yes you read it right $16,000. So the kid comes to pick it up a couple months later and does not want to pay..and the funny part is his 16 year old gf puts a $60.0 down payment on it lol. The shop made one mistake which was not having him sign a work order. So know the police and courts are involved. He doesnt even own the car his mom leased it for 17,000 and its about to be repoed. He has a history of scamming people and buisness and has a nice arrest record.Trust me the link is like 20 pages long but i couldnt stop reading it. You guys and gals should check it out if your bored. What a d bag. Sorry if grammer/spelling is bad im falling asleap.

ZOMG epic thread.

Okay, that really sucks for the guy who did all the work, but WHY would he agree to all that work without some kind of deposit?!? I'm totally not saying he had it coming or anything because it's just not right. But the guy doing the work was a fool for doing all the work without some kind of deposit or something. If someone new to me asked for 16k worth of work, I'd get a fat deposit first. Oh yeah, and a SIGNED work order!

well like at first it was just a paint job right? Than the kid kept calling up to get more **** added and the kid never came up to see how the work was going. He just did it all over the phone or email I guess. That's what I got from it anyways.

I am done reading it, woot!

[Spider77]

Cant believe I read all of it, and some of the side links. Funny stuff (well, not for the shop and family), would of liked to come to an end after all that reading. Guess I'll have to keep track of it and see if the celi dosent wind up on ebay like the guy said.

[GriffGirl]

It goes way further than just the paint job/mods work. I guess this guy has been all over the internet scamming people under different screen names.

Whats really fun is is that the kid doesent own the car his mom does and its about to be repoed.

That and the fact that every car enthusiast forum across north america knows about it.

i cant.... stop.... reading... too.... fun....

[D-Man]

oh i cannot read that whole thing.


The pictures are the work done? and the kid has apparently offered $60 of his chicks money twards a $16,000 bill, and expected to steal his car by acting all "bawler" and and telling em to have it polished and ready, facing the nearest escape route.

Correct?

What a Fcuking Looser.

I feel bad for the shop. I used to work in a customs shop, and someone would get hurt for that sh!t there

PB Hardtarget was a user name of his? Not the member http://www.6gc.net/members/hardtarget from here with the drag 6gc right?
Both are from Florida - nothing else seems to be the same?

I don't think that's the same guy, the guy in the 6gc profile seems to be able to spell. The scammer kid is a horrible speller and his grammar SUCKS

[Rayme]

The shop should have asked for registrations of the car, the guy is obviously a scammer but the shop wasn't careful from what I can see.

Kid dropped his car off at a local shop to have a paint job done. Paid his deposit on the paint job, and then left. Then he would call up and tell them to put on a kit, carbon fiber this and that, turbo install, etc. - they ask for money, he says his sponsors will cover it. When they tell him it's all done he tells them to have it washed, waxed, etc. and out front ready (probably with the idea of stealing it). It wasn't parked out front, and the kid had no money. The car is in his mom's name and he hasn't made a car payment in two months - the car is about to be repo'ed.

thats as far as I got.
