I gotta say that the Charity talk is nice, but first things first. You need to donate to help bring down Joe Dono in court. Buying the car outright doesn't teach Joe a lesson. It doesn't teach his family a lesson. Buying out the car HELPs his mom. No one should be helping anyone in his family. His family is letting this kind of stuff happen. They are bailing him out on things. Joe brought this on his own family, and no one should shed a tear for them as long as they play along in his fantasy world.

If you want to donate money, you need to be sending money to help convict Joe Dono before you want to help get publicity by donating the car to a charity or whatever.

Jap Works just LOST $16k. They'll need that money for rent/legal fees etc.

Also, stop crying over Joe's family. They put him under their roof, they are to blame just as much as he is. You can't actually think with all the scamming that he's done(and his police record) that his family doesn't know about this crap. Every second that Joe lives under his mother's roof is another second of her saying that it's ok.

Good luck JapWorks. It looks like you do outstanding work!
