So i was on my local racing forums..tamparacing.com and found this. www.joedono.info it has been linked to about ever car website there is. So in recape this kid went to japimprots (i think) a very respected tuner/audio/ anything shop. At first he was just having them do a simple paint job which turned into about $16,000 worth of mods. Yes you read it right $16,000. So the kid comes to pick it up a couple months later and does not want to pay..and the funny part is his 16 year old gf puts a $60.0 down payment on it lol. The shop made one mistake which was not having him sign a work order. So know the police and courts are involved. He doesnt even own the car his mom leased it for 17,000 and its about to be repoed. He has a history of scamming people and buisness and has a nice arrest record.Trust me the link is like 20 pages long but i couldnt stop reading it. You guys and gals should check it out if your bored. What a d bag. Sorry if grammer/spelling is bad im falling asleap.

Kid dropped his car off at a local shop to have a paint job done. Paid his deposit on the paint job, and then left. Then he would call up and tell them to put on a kit, carbon fiber this and that, turbo install, etc. - they ask for money, he says his sponsors will cover it. When they tell him it's all done he tells them to have it washed, waxed, etc. and out front ready (probably with the idea of stealing it). It wasn't parked out front, and the kid had no money. The car is in his mom's name and he hasn't made a car payment in two months - the car is about to be repo'ed.

thats as far as I got.
