cause i was locked up?.... dude, it's from a DUI in 2/6/05... i violated my probation driving my project car home from buying it, and got pulled with a bad windshield... bad luck...

i haven't been waiting any period of time... i just googled Joes name and was like WHOA!!!!.... figured everyone should know.... also if you search his other build threads, it seems as though he's been at this whole "dishonest" stuff for a while, and not just with cars....

hell at first, i thought he was an alright guy, the deal we hard worked out seemed a bit shady, but i went into it running on faith, and i'm just glad i never went as far as RB20Mike is....

either way, this guy has a SERIUOS history, and he's always selling/buying parts in the nissan f/s section.... just figured some people should know about the guy before they start giving him money, or front him parts when he says "i'll get it today and pay ya next week"... for all we know, he sold that HKS fuel rail he selling like 12 times to finance his lil S13 hatch project.... $20K IS an aweful lot of money to drop in like a month for a guy who details cars....

with that being said... i'm done... even talking with Joe on AIM, telling him i'd shut my mouth if he'd retract his statement that i ripped him off on a Kaaz... he wanted nothing of it....

Ban me if you will... but it's not needed.... i'll come back on this thread to watch the poor kid get knocked around some more, but no mores posts on it.... damage as been done!!!

now back to my lil corner of TR, my build thread....

still got that welded in my f/s thread... for like weeks.... it's OBO if anyone wants it...

 

sorry, i found this on another forum and HAD to post it... the actual car...



http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...erm=Joe%20Dono

done for real now..... i didn't know this guy was famous.... i mean, Joes in a book you can buy on Amazon.com for crying out loud...

sorry, done....

 

sorry guys, had to reply to this one, and i didn't catch it in the previous fever of what was going on....

first thing, this guy joe, is selling a HKS SSQV, or willing to trade for a GReddy Type S, so i say FUCK YEAH!!! and he sends me pics of this HKS SSQV and it's a old ass BLITZ DD... ugh.... so kid kid is like on my nuts like the sweatz after playing football for 8 hours about my type-S and getting it blah blah... and he wanted me to help him strighten out his car... tighten up the Zip tied Aero, clean his fucking seats that smelled like cat piss, and install some OE interior in the hatch of his car that was missing... he said i do all that, he'd give me the wheels Rays G-Games 77F to be exact. well, i went to his house, cause he wanted me to swap out his diff for him.....

"it's like, locked up all the time and chirps when i turn and makes it hard to turn, it's almost undriveable, i couldn't even drive it home, my uncle did"..... yet now he films drift events from the infield....


....... he didn't know what a welded was, and i guess didn't understand you tend to get those when a seller sells his car as a "drift car"... so i replaced that for him and his vac lines were all fucked up, so i took him up to advance, he got some vac lines i had to pick out cause he had no idea what the hell was going on... and he paid, went back to his house and i finished up (his girl even rode with us, she looks like she can take it in the shooter aye RB? *wink*wink* @ joey)....

for me, that was supposed to be the beginning of just about the same work you're doing RB20Mike, but my payment was supposed to be the wheels...

i went back to where i was staying in St Pete... a hour fucking drive from joes, after getting NOTHING from joe, no gas money, no pat on the back, nadda....... to finish some work on my car, suspension, springs etc.... on the way home, got pulled for the windshield and got cited for "violating the restrictions of a hardship license" .... very dishonest there.... had a 24 day vacation in the alachua county jail, ya know, just kinda chilling, 3 meals, a/c.. the works... and got out to find joe couldn't get his car up to me to work on cause he had the RB20mike guy working on it....

so yeah, I'm dishonest cause i took a shitty welded diff from a kid, that leaked gear oil all in the back of my GT/CS, to GIVE to my friend...

then to have this asshole tell me it's a Kaaz... and I'M the one who ripped him off.... lovely.... oh and BTW, i told him REPEATEDLY the deal was VERY EXTREMELY one sided... he even offered to pay me to do the work, but i said naw bro, just the wheels is fine man, i don't wanna take your money.... i said REPEATEDLY "are you sure you wanna do this? cause you know these wheels are like $380 a peice right?" and he's like yeah whatever, i'm getting some baller ass Volk TE37s in the mail... so you can HAVE the rays when you're done...

so yeah...

and have fun Mike.... hope it works out for ya... cause it hasn't for anyone else... ask Joey there how many Motorola Rzrs he sold that UPS or USPS "lost".... good luck

now i'm done on the real.... play wid it....

 

First off, I personally don't trust Joe for anything.

Second, you must realize he showed up at the shop with his Mother and his girlfriend and the only one with ANY money in their pocket was his girlfriend with $60.

HE HAD NO MONEY AT ALL.

Keep in mind he was there to pick the car up. He knew at the VERY LEAST he owed a few hundred dollars. Even if we had only done what was initially talked about, he STILL OWED US MONEY.

He showed up with NOTHING.

Do the damn math. This isn't his first time. Certainly not his last.

 

^^^^^ Jap works guy who Joe fucked over......

call me dishonest....

btw bro, did your shop ever recover? cause you guys did some AWESOME work and i got some body/paint work i need done.... no mechanics liens here... maybe private work? I'd have to save for a while but i see you do great work so i'd prob pay UPCFRONT if done privately...


lmk

 

wow.... i'm getting rep for this....

 

Don't get too excited, it won't mean a thing when your banned for spamming.

Why don't you guys just PM the hell out of each other and bicker. There's alot of other members on here that have been scammed by another, and they kept it to themself. Want to know why? Because they know things have a way of working themself out in the end. They have no need to exchange words because they know it will do absolutely NOTHING.

Actually I take that back, it will do something. It will make you look like a d-bag in front of the entire forum population. But if your ok with that, more power to ya.

 

I love google images:

 

Nope. Scum is scum and now it's in here. It's not like we don't already have enough problems with scammers, scumbags and thieves here.

What's the matter, Kenny? You don't want anyone to see you're defending this guy?

 

Marshall, just give it a rest bro. You made your point like 20 posts ago. Obviously this guy is a piece of work if he tries to discredit you by saying you ripped him off for a kaaz 2 way all of a sudden. Unfortunately it's not but, hey, instead of throwing it in my car we could put it up for sale: "TR Joe Dono Special Edition Kaaz 2 Way" and start the bidding at eleventy hundred.

You know what they say about arguing over the internet...
