There's 2 users registered as SCP Celica and SCP_Celica. The first one is a fake to stir up the thread.

As someone has already said, what happens to all the paypal donations if the shop gets all their money back? Do they deserve to get all the money from the work AND the money collected from donations? Are they going to return the donations if they do get paid for the work? Color me pessimistic, but I doubt it.

Finally, I've already seen some of the responses to people questioning the donations. The hostility was childish. Turn 19, get a job, drive something other than a clapped out 20 year old rice bucket and I might care what you think.
Who cares what they do with the money, no one is forcing anyone to make a donation, it's a free country and if you wish to give your money to someoen else than so be it. No where has it been posted that the donations were for charity, but it is nice that they will give the money to chairty if they don't need it. To me, they could finace a trip to Vegas for all I care.

Just to keep you people moaning about paypal donations happy, I'll recap.

1. They did not ask for donations in any way.
2. Lots of people offered to donate, and had JAPworks set up a paypal account.
3. The people that are donating are doing it on their own free will.
4. The shop said they WILL give any excess to a charity.

5. You're just jealous you aren't getting it.


Too many people coming in dropping their depression bombs everywhere. No one has been asked to donate, or told to donate by the guys in the hot seat.

Are they going to turn the money down that they're obviously in need of? No. I wouldn't turn it down either, most people wouldn't.

That said, Joe is screwed. He's probably going to be going to jail for Theft of Services, his mom will more than likely lose the car, and his family will be put into a pretty bad financial burden of having to pay for a car that they don't own. I feel bad for his family because he's causing it, but he's the same age I am, and if I was trying to pull this crap my parents would have me beaten down so bad...

Good lord....can you not even read the cliff notes version?......OOOHHHH, I get it, from your avatar, you must be a FSU seminole...never mind, that explains everything.


The excess donations will be given to charity after this is over.

Joe is probably breaking in DC and stealing things to sell to get his car back as we speak. "he's doing the right thing"

You're right, they don't ask for paypal donations, they just ask the government to help bail them out.
So instead of people being able to VOLUNTARIALY contribute to help a buisness out, everyone gets to help pay for a business bailout because the money the government spends has to come from somewhere.

I think you have auto shop confused with FDIC-insured bank, it's ok, easy mistake.
