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
They are both personal friends of mine, Aaron (who lives with me) has sunk all of his money into the shop and celica, and now can not afford to pay bills. Branden has also sunk all of his money into the shop and celica and now can not afford to buy school supplies for his oldest son who is about to start school. Joe really did a number on Aaron, Branden and Branden's family. Aaron and Branden were literally living at the shop trying to get this car done to make Joe Homo happy and ended up getting fucked over. It's good to see that this many people have their back and willing to contribute to the shop.
