this is branden, aarons partner.

maybee some other details that may have been left out.

this kid did alot of talking through this. i told him over and over again i needed payment, atleast partial to continue work. he assured us over and over again, his grandfather was picking up the bill in full. this was a present for finishing up school. but his grandfather was realy "old school" and wanted the work done first. i told him REPEATEDLY that i couldnt afford to do much more work because he was draining my bank account. again he didnt care about that, wanted the work done.

now i have a new shop, a big job like this would give the shop the money to take off. so i figured i better keep the customer happy, and i kept spending.


as far as charity goes, i'd rather see it go to someone providing legal aid to those in dire need of it. sure childrens charities are nice, but i'm the one being affected by this, and it woulda been nice to have a lawyer pick this up on the spot and deal with it.

ive got a 4 week old son, atreyu trenton that ive barely got to see, aaron and i have been workin 90+ hour weeks trying to get this car done and done right for this kid, ive barely been home. you can ask some of the local guys, weve worked 20 hour days only to rest for 4-5 hours and come back for another 15 hours. now my bank account is empty and i'm trying to figure out what parts i can sell to pay for my house to keep the kids in a home.

its not just that he tried to scam someone, he knew what his scam would do to my FAMILY and he did it without remorse

Heck, finally broke down and registered so I could chime in.

RE "the automotive community coming together"... I hope you realize that this has extended beyond the auto community. I caught this story via Reddit yesterday, and have been keeping updated ~hourly. Even threw some $$ to JAP Works last night to try to help. I am not at all a car enthusiast; I can't even change my own oil. And I'm in California, so geography is not a factor.

I just hate to see someone like JD get away with this crap. Repeatedly. He's on probation at the moment, and wasn't even supposed to be out of his home county -- which, as I understand it -- is *not* the county JAP Works is located in. I bet he's known well enough near his own home that no one will deal with him. Well, it's about time the scope widens. If there's an association of mechanics or repair shops or some such, they should email their members this story suggesting they add JD's name to a blacklist.

Good luck to you all. This is quite a nice forum -- socially and technically. I'm sure it will only grow from here...

FYI, Please don't threaten anybody regarding this. It's being handled by the people that it directly has to do with, and making threats will only tempt the mods to lock it, cooling off heads that would want to do bad stuff to the culprit. Nobody wants this thread to be locked anytime soon.

Keep your cool, guys and girls.

 

and no offense brandon i hope you didnt name your son off that gay ass band
