Emailed the editor of jalopnik.com. Hope Mr. Wert rips this guy a new orifice with his usual verbal flair.

Another NASIOC member chiming in.

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.

$.02

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

how much do you need to keep the shop running through this? give us a number so we know our progress and what we need to keep going.

maybee some other details that may have been left out.

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.
