RX7 Chopped up by Alex Ancino of Side Run Garage

[PlatinumPresto.info]

Well, last week i got a call from plantation police department at 115pm:

ME: "Hello"
PD: "Do you own a burgundy RX7"
Me: "yes, why?"
PD: "You have less than 24hours to move it"
Me: "from my mechanic's shop.. or his mothers house?"
PD: "What?... um, no... we have it here in your complex at plantation gardens, but it has no wheels"
ME: "WHAT?"
PD: "YOU have less than 24hours to move it or it gets TOWED"
ME: "NO, i dont live in plantation gardens, i live in pompano beach"
PD: "well sir, your car has no wheels and is on jackstands, it has been sitting here for a while now. Look, if you want to make a police report you have to come down here and make it yourself."
ME: "................................................. ..........."
PD: "Sir, are you their?"
ME: "YEH, whatever...thanks" [i then hang up]



when i arrive i noticed the car was missing just about everything and on jackstands.... 3 parking spaces from his friends car, Bert... where Bert lives. Bert denies he knows nothing of this.

Alex chopped my car up and sold the parts to other people because i could not afford to give him the last 1000.00 since i lost my job in December. We agreed on 3000.00 for a an engine install (complete ka-t setup)... of which i gave him 1500 up front... then 400.00 then next month b4 a month later he chops my car up.

im not saying alex or bert or anyone who deals with side run garage are bad people... just saying that they do not know how to do buisness the right way.. like chopping up other peoples cars.

if you see my parts on anyone else's car please IM me.... thanks


main missing parts include a KADE-T engine and tranny & 18" SSR Viena Dish, other parts missing are easily found on other cars.

wow that blows man, hope everything works out for you, i would kill a motherfu*ker if i was you..

[PlatinumPresto.info]

thanks, but i couldnt kill em, they are, were... some cool people...

...but very bad business ethics... very bad

[Om1kron]

wow... this is why I don't take my shit to shops, same thing happened to my homies r6...

[!Zar!]

Whatever.

It's your fault in the first place.

Not having a job isn't their problem.

[PlatinumPresto.info]

thanks zar, your posts are always positive.....................

[Jdm.I.Am]

Whatever.

It's your fault in the first place.

Not having a job isn't their problem.

you are stupid, how is getting his car stripped his fault, i could see taking the rims or aero or something worth 1k off the car and giving the car back to him, not totally stripping it and dumping the car.

If owed them money, him not having a job really isn't a problem of theirs.

Not to mention if his car is at their shop (was it?) and he isn't paying storage fees, it's even more reason for them to dispose of it.

[qt_240]

do you have any documentation of the business transaction?? I'm sure you can file suit..

... thats why OFFICIAL shops have whats called a LIEN......

...but shady shops have whats called, "stealing from your customers"

[PlatinumPresto.info]

do you have any documentation of the business transaction?? I'm sure you can file suit..


yes i do... i planned on doing that but i stopped because he said he would sue me... so ill see what he brings to the table...


"yes sir, i stole his car sir because he owed me money"

[!Zar!]

"No I did not steal the car in question your honor. After X months the owner did not pay me nor remove his car from my property according to law "xxxxx" after so many days I can legally gain property of it due to it being abandoned."

[98koukile]

If it was less than a month, he has no right to do this and only has the right to get what you owe him back. What can he sue you for? I'd talk to a lawyer ASAP

[S14DB]

"No I did not steal the car in question your honor. After X months the owner did not pay me nor remove his car from my property according to law "xxxxx" after so many days I can legally gain property of it due to it being abandoned."

If they gained ownership of it he wouldn't have been contacted when the cops found it stripped.


Why didn't you follow this up with the reporting officer that called you? Why didn't you file a report stating that the car was supposed to be in the care of the shop? The vehicle theft detectives should be interested in this. You seem to aloof in all this.

[!Zar!]

If they gained ownership of it he wouldn't have been contacted when the cops found it stripped.

Not full ownership.

But he say he has the right to it based off of it being, "abandoned" no?

[S14DB]

Not full ownership.

But he say he has the right to it based off of it being, "abandoned" no?

There is a legal method to mechanics liens and the such. They have 90 days with no work done or parts added then send a Notice to Owner(certified mail). Then then the owner has 60 days to respond to the Notice that they are going to contest the lien or not. If not they have up to a year to foreclose on the lien (car). If he does they have 20days. The lien amount has to be over $2500.


It doesn't seem to have been that long since he talked to them. Disposing of it in a apt complex it not a proper way to dispose of a vehicle. It would be in the shops name and they would have called them not him. So I do not think they have any case to do what they did.

[KwKouki]

theres always 2 sides to a story

[BoostedCoupe]

"No I did not steal the car in question your honor. After X months the owner did not pay me nor remove his car from my property according to law "xxxxx" after so many days I can legally gain property of it due to it being abandoned."
That is what i was thinking. Yes it sucks that they took parts of your car. But what were the suppouse to do? i mean you havent payed them in over 2 months. It wasnt their fault you lost your job. I mean im sure the shop owners are in the business to make money and not do people favors. They gave you almost 3 months then from what it sounds like took parts off to = the value of the work that was done. Now how they "dumped" it thats diffrent. They should have called you and said you have so and so weeks befor we will start taking things off to equale the value of the work done.

[amdnivram]

i'd say go have a talk with him and your bat. Alleys are always nice, especially if he lets you borrow his car keys after. Any kinda theft from me, would involve the other party going to the hospital, and possibly losing a body part. Even if you did owe them money, in no way is taking back the engine they installed and stripping your car equal to 1k, if they stripped your car, does that equal to you stripping their car while putting them in a hospital? According to their math it is.

[HyperTek]

sucks man, hopefully you work things out and get compensated. Your car was pretty "unique" .
Loosing your job happens, and its freaking tough to get another one right now.

I also agree next time man if you can start learning to do it yourself so you can avoid situations like these. But you said you where doing a KA-T swap in there, never seen that one b4.

Did you post this in the fc section of rx7club? hmm but i know on that forum, those assholes will say you deserved because of the way your car looks *dudes over there are really closed minded about exterior modifications and wheels*

[JRas]

this is why you pay with money up front always...

talk to the mechanic be cool about it and try to get your stuff back, pay him the money you owe him and get your stuff back.. hopefully.

[drift freaq]

I would be careful about paying people up front. Sometimes if you do that they get quite lazy about doing the work and take forever. They have no incentive to finish the job because they have been paid already.


Oh and the way that shop took his car and did what they did is completely illegal. Possession is not 9 tenths of the law.

Plus if the shop does not inform a person that they will be charged storage fee's for leaving a car or engine there they cannot claim it after the fact. If they legally file a lien the owner can pick the item up for whats owed.

They can only be held responsible for storage fee's if they were previously informed of the possibility of storage fees in advance.

Now with all that said any responsible shop or person will inform the owner that they need to pick the item be it car or whatever. Not informing them is no excuse for holding there car or item hostage. I.E. if a shop moves or a person moves with someones possession it basic honest behavior requires them to inform the person so they can get their item.

[m4nfred]

weeerd, this is getting ridiculous

[CrazyIvan]

pics of the car in its current condition??

[amdnivram]

i'm pretty sure you can get your stuff back legally. bbb? courts? good ole fashion beating?

[kornaz]

I laughed. YOU are the reason this shit happened. Have the funds in ADVANCE for shit you get done to your car, or this or something similar will happen. I mean, what does it take to be a grown up? AND, lien shit in Cali is 30 days. Man up, and take care of your own fucked up shit.

He's not in Cali and the shop didn't do anything legally.

The question is, why is he not going to the cops and then suing them?

[blueshark123]

sue those mother fuckers they had no right to do that without a warning. keep us updated

[PlatinumPresto.info]

hey guys, i forgot to suscribe to the thread, a few things to clear up

-I DID make a police report
-His shop isnt official, he is doing some jobs to collect monmey to start his shop officialy(which he didnt)
-since his 'shop' wanst official, he could not do a lien
- his plate # is
http://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/res/5c2e8193-7388-4205-aed3-7690db20a581/siderun.jpg

...and yes, my car had a KA-T v-mount setup with megasquirt... but i didnt take possesion of the car in december(when i had some of the moneyt and i lost my job) because the install was all sloppy spagitti wire looms everywhere, he didnt install any of the gauges, & weld the diff as he agreed.

[VNG704]

Don't have work done to your car you don't have money for. Still agree with OP about shop's bad ethics. Would not take my car there for work.

[RedStage]

all these negative individuals posting in here would be crying their collective asses off if this had been their car. please don't embarass yourselves by saying you wouldn't.

I'd agree that you should wait to have work done until you have all the money needed, whether you pay half up front and half upon completion, or all at once is the only thing you should have to decide on.

Shit like this would get someone's shop burnt to a crisp.

[kornaz]

all these negative individuals posting in here would be crying their collective asses off if this had been their car. please don't embarass yourselves by saying you wouldn't.


Sure, I would. BUT i would not make a mistake like he did. Either way, it's a pile of crap to deal with right now. And as for the shop, they are thugs. Any normal shop would either go collect on your ass, or sue, but not chop the car up. Anyways, good luck to the OP.

[91240sil80]

its not like everyone has a law degree or something you ppl are rediculis im sure if this happend to you...well i know what the fuck i would do but damn no one always knows what to do in situations like this good luck with this dog and yall need to cut the dude some slack shit happends you lose a job at [email protected] up times it aint controlable peace

[Chernobyl]

This is what happens when you're poor and live beyond your means. Why are you having work done at a shop that you couldn't afford to pay for? You had it coming.

I'm sure the shop owner could tell a totally different story.

[S14DB]

I'm sure the shop owner could tell a totally different story.

He doesn't own a shop by the sounds of it. Sounds like he is just hacking shit up in his driveway.

[S14TEENZ]

best to have the money to pay in full for what ur getting done...IOUs and problems are not a valid reason to not to pay for what has been completed..no matter if its a shop or hackjob.....dont have enough dont do it.

[speedgod^s13]

This pretty much goes 2 ways. Both are in the wrong, but which one is the lesser of 2 evils? I can't blame the guy for losing his job, because that is something you can't predict. If he had known he was getting fired, then decided to get shit done to his car, then I could see that as being stupid. Although a better route would have been to save up enough money, put a down payment, until the work was completed to your satisfaction, then pay him off. In this case though, I must say that this Alex character did much more wrong. Yes, he was owed money, but he isn't a legitimate shop, so he has no right to chop up this guys car to get paid. It sounds like he didn't even contact the owner, to get shit straightened out, which is fucked up. In regards to the money owed, he still doesn't own the vehicle, regardless of how much money he's owed. Another thing I don't understand is why he had to chop up the whole car? If 1000.00 was owed, why not just sell the rims, or something of equal value? It just sounds like he was trying to make as much as he could from the car, without even giving a fuck about the owner. If you have made a police report, follow through with proper court procedures. You will NOT lose. Bottom line is, he broke the law by selling parts off of your car, without your consent. Good luck, and keep us posted.

thank bro, jus a note.. i did have the full 3000 at the time the project started, but he didnt wire the car properly which kept delaying the build, which kept me paying my other bills. eventyually i waited so long that my bills ate up the cash after i got fired.

so far the case cost 300 to file suite(which i dont have), but i need to make sure i know his proper address before i claim

...to makes things worst, last friday i lost my other job, got jumped for my cell phone, and got cut off on the highway in the rain which crashed my leased 08 g35 all in one day

if i dont update here ill update my blog, it is at Richie Presto (http://richiepresto.taios.net)


thx for the help ppl

Whoa and I am just finding out about this? I know the real story not this bullshit you are trying to spread around the internet. This guy got work done at/by Side-Run then lost his job and never paid the final cost for the car. The couple of times you took the car from the shop without it being finished are left out. Revving the piss out of the motor before it even warmed up. Spinning a rod.....I wathced you rev the bitch up to like 9k so don't say you didn't Alex told you not to drive the car because it wasn't finished then you tried to take the car several times from the shop without finishing payment but Alex was smarter than that and removed the fuel pump. So you tried to thieve your own car so they had to take the car and hide it somewhere so you couldn't try to steal it. Then you dropped off the face of there earth and never tried to make contact with Alex again until like 6 months later.

I am not a very frequent poster around here but this thread is some bullshit and if the mods would I think its would be better to take the last name from the thread and possibly close it because this story he is feeding you is pretty much bullshit. Richie you went to far when you put the shit about his kid on SFLD so stop spreading shit all over the web.


WOW, 1st you dont even know me to ask me what happened, even when you saw me almost EVERY WENSDAY, for 4 months!!! 2nd - 'revved up the engine', you sir... are a dumb ass liar... im sorry for calling you names bro, but its the truth. the car was drivin out of the garage by Alex himself, who told me the car was ok. kept going back to the garage to ask alex for payment options had he kept tellingme "well talk abou it".... when he had ALREADY CHOPED UP MY CAR BEHIND MY BACK....while telling you guys 'richie tried to steal his own car.. so i hie it at my moms house" ....WHEN IT WAS SITTING AT HIS PARTNERS HOUSE(BERT).... and if the rod spun... WHY DID HE SELL THE ENGINE TO FINKELSTINE, WHO I MIGHT ADD... IS DRIFTING RIGHT NOW.

and dont tell me im lying... because this is the proof that the engine that was in my car ,the one i bought and alex stole to sell back to fink

bout time you show up, guess you people told you im talkin shit online. But since you were to ignorant, yet again, to pay attention to when the 1st post was posted. you would have known that it was the same time i made the one on SFLD (which was deleted, intresting eh?).

every time i show up at your shop to talk to you, you think im trying to steal something or ur to busy. You never answered my text messages bac in december. so guess what, i done talking to you, what is their to talk about? about getting my things back? you stole my car n striped it n sold it. what r u gonna do now, say sorry and give it all back? whats done is done, your a theif... you committed a crime and u cant change time...

PS... the motor that in my car now WAS THE SPUN MOTOR YOU GOT FOR FREE bac in november. Bert, Chris, Jackson, and 3 other people at the shop knew this. You took the blown KA and swaped it with the one in my car. To bad i dont have the proof of you SAYING IT. But you didnt care cuz you knew already that you were screwing me over when you got that "extra KA" instead of the V8 you said you were going to get. Shit, you used the blown KA motor to fab your headers for the turbo you bought.

as a matter of fact... i do have it on video... at :16 ... by the wall behind the chair.

lol u should juss sue him and bring witnesses , and get a job so you can go thru with it

[fast-datsun]

If he is operating a business with out the legal paper work then he violated the law by stripping the car and operating with out proper paper work. 2 viloations before even getting to court, no leg to stand on.

Yeh, he was doing it like a DBA so that he can get enough money to register his shop. When Alex does good work, he does it well. He is one of the few drifters in Soflo who does his own work and helps his friends (the ones he cares about). But everyone knows what happens when money and friendship combine, and it aint captain planet either.

I find that is a problem with some of the newer mechanics these days. No pride in work for the people they do not care about. And bad business ethics... very f^kin bad

[S13_SideWayz]

lmao its funny how people just go by his side of the story. i kno the guy PERSONALY and have gotten work done by him on my car.

its as simple as dis. Alex ( owner of the shop) did a whole swap into his car.
dude with the car did not pay like he was supposed to.. in the time he was supposed to because he didnt have a job ( thats his fault) all the owner of the shop did was get his stuff back. if u had done ur part. this wouldnt have happend. now stop going from forum to forum posting ur sad story. :zzz:

so pleace dont let me post the scans of the checks and make you look like a retard...

fuk yeh, whats good... how did they look on your car?

[alx954]

go to chris's shop, bet u the blown up KA you speak of is still in the same spot.
Then I have several witnesses stating u would go to the shop, open the car and started it with a fricking screw driver of all things. Then proceeded to make a couple runs up and down the street, knowing full well the car was "NOT TUNED" then talking shit saying it
doesnt run right, behind my back.
BTW if memory serves me right u told me 1 week into the swap that u had lost your
job, wich was in mid october (again I have witnesses). So u loosing your job in dec. is bullshit.
1 more thing leave bert out of this, he has nothing to do with it.

no its not funny, nobody is lafin...

since when did my wheels belong to alex? since when did anything on or in my car belong to alex?

if you did know me "personally" then you would have know about the 2 checks Alex cashed from me. All 1800.00 dollars worth of the 3000.00 alex asked to do a lousy engine swap. I gave him more than 1/2 b4 i got fired in december. Dont make me post the copies of the checks and make you look like "Sofa King, Retar Edd"

i cant wait to see your name online with "My ______ stolen" just so i can post somthing like "Stop crying online, poster boy" .. maybe then you would know what it is to have your things taking from you...

so just keep snoring...

STFU, please... you should keep gathering your 'witnesses' bro. And im asking you this, not telling. Im also glad that your CIA has told you when i lost my job. who knows maybe you or someone from your spy group was my boss. and they have hard evidence of when they fired me???

and screwdriver.... i didnt wana yell in CAPS... but.....

I TOLD YOU MY CAR IGNITION WAS BAD AND NOT TO TELL ANYONE OR LEAVE HER OUTSIDE.

i kept going back to the shop to see if she was stolen, everytime i go their she was in a differnt parking sport, ppl telling me she drives well, but just to find out the mech workin on my car was the one who stole her.

ok so here goes. Richie(Platinum Presto) is making it seem that he is a victim in a god awful plot by Side Run/Alex. i give credit where credit is due, and richie knows how to tell you a story and not "lie" persay but just go around the points in the story that would incriminate him. 1. When you lost your job, you should of BEFORE ANYTHING, gone to alex and said "look alex i lost my job, i dont know when ill have the money. can you just give me a running car to the total of the 1800 i paid you and we'll finish the work later". i personally know alex and i know he would of said "no problem man" shrugged his shoulders and handed you the keys. 2. i personally have seen you come to the meet and rev the living jesus out of that poor KA, Rotaries would of felt bad for that KA. 3. its all nice and golden when you come to another forum and feed your story, BUT you leave out how everything you said here pretty much had to be racanted on our home forum (SFLDrifters.com), how you insulted alex as a father on a public forum, insulted his son on a public forum, and then continued to outlandishly make accusations that you know are not true, you even took a couple shots at me in the fuckery. Im gonna step forward and make somethings clear to the great group of guys here on Zilvia who are having the wool pulled over their eyes by you. Richie is what we would all call a Dog with a HUGE bark but veeeerrry little bite. he is known around the crew as the annoyance. when you HAD a job you didnt have the money to build the car, so losing the job makes no difference, and i don't make threats at all, im just formally informing you, that i would take down the photos of Finkelsteins motor because he has nothing to do with this and thats really barking up the wrong tree, that motor has been in that car a long time now and there is plenty of pictures and videos to prove it, so that goes to show how you will lie to make yourself the victim. Because at the current moment you are making enemies in allll the wrong places, which is why you wont show your face around the meet or any events. Man up, grow some hair on your balls and come speak to alex in person and sort all this out. no...wait....you wont because you know if he sees you hes going to hit you, because you insulted his kid, and Red, Bert, Finkelstein, Guillermo, Sean, Me most likely would follow the path. you made enemies of the ones that put up with you and now your crying.


SIDE RUN Garage is a great south fla. shop. they are currently doing my car, have 2 great shop cars and many happy customers. Alex does good work, he texts or calls everyday to give me updates and sends me a couple pics every few days so i know whats going on, while im up in NY. richie is the only disatisfied customer (due to his own disgressions) so take the consesus people. 50 happy customers 1 unhappy customer whos credibility is questionable. make sense?

[alx954]

bro your so full of shit, I had the car running before the big FDC qualifier wich
was Nov 1. And I remember you moping around cuz you wanted to go and saying how you
didnt have a job anymore. Yet you still drove the car to the event.

Everyone down here knows whats up, and I didnt take your ugly ass wheels BTW, I took what I put in the car except the motor u messed up. So STFU

[dirteeboy808]

Wow this thread is a fckin mess:duh:....anyways Richie man I hope everything works out on both ends of the situation.

Anyways I re-finished both rims and still got'm, prolly going to run it on S5 vert for abit....Hawaii well the street scene is happening, but no track no exposure for the guys that kill it..

great to see you, again, got your lil sponsor speel out, did ya? did all that by yourself wearing a nince lil dress, did ya?

.....


now on to my mindless answers...

this, obviously because of blind observation that you failed to read the thread before you continued on a pointless banter like the few people before you who stated the same questions without reading the thread.

(is this a common thing, to post to a thread before reading it?... is this like the 'In thing to do' or something?)

1- after loosing my job, i did contact alex... threw SMS and confrontation at his shop and threw the wed night meetups (to which he continued to disregaurd the topic)

2- your sir, are a liar, you would try to prove it too... but you cant, other than recruting more people who say "OMG WTF BBQ, I SAW THAT SHIT TOO SON"

3- i have been to many other fourms, im lokin for my things, if people post to my thread , so i reply. isnt that what a fourm is for? I have Poseted in SFLD, but seeing how the communistict politics have taken down the thread in vein of, "retardedness".

- if i am the mini dog, you are what 'we' call the 'hispanic oreo'... you were a bit of a 'dick' to everyone till you got a healty dose of you own medicine, no? now your more of a chupacabra, but instead of goats... you suck on to friendships

- formally informing me... of pictures you took.... and freely posted without any cretive commons? o how i applaud your gelastic and oh so humble civility of your exhortation. yet, i shall discourteously contrast to the wonderfull reaction of FUK NO...

- grow some hair on my balls... bro, thats one thing i dont need, i could skwer you with my chest hair son. put down your baby bottle-o-milk and drink a bottle of some good old southen comfort and u grow some son!

This, again all goes back to ignoantly not reading the thread B4 you post... i have been either partying with girlfriends, working, getting robbed by other people, or in the hospital looking after my fam. things that take a precident over any sausage packed meet to which you favor. But to make the gang happy, ill put the girls, alcohal and sickly family members aside, just to drop by and say, "hai, wana talk shit, or are you guys going to jump me like them 'real' miami people do, yeh like the ones on Cops?"













...that shot talk is what you get for not reading... so dont go crying to your 'friends' tellem 'did you see that shit richie posted on zilvia, hes a lil bitch bro" (then procedeing to bite your fingernails as you usually do)

[platinumpresto]

are u serious i didnt buy the motor from alex i always had this motor in my car i never toook out my motor when i went ka-t. there is nothing in my pictures that resemables your motor. u know ive always been ka an that sr i never installed, just cuz i was gunna do the deal before with alex with the motor has nothing to do with it i traded that motor to somebody totally different for parts for my ka an cash on top i never recieved a motor from alex look at the motor closely nothing matches different turbo, exhaust/intake manifold, fpr. the motor thats in my car now is the same motor thats been there an u know it so there is no reason for u to put me in this what so ever.


yes im serious, my shit got stolen...

..instead of asking, i read Emeal(?)'s post on your 'new' setup. but even if the core is the same... the parts are stolen..

thanks, although, you could have told me that you were buying them from alex. instead of not telling me a thing when you saw me at the meet.

[platinumpresto]

running and working... two different things. moping because i had money ready and the car wasnt.

if you didnt take them then were are my wheels?

and what of the 1800.00, your going to 'take' that too or are you going to give it back?

or do i have to drop by your house and talk to you since your never at the shop?

because, trust me, get my thinks back... and ill STFU

[TTrx7Pete]

He's not in Cali and the shop didn't do anything legally.

The question is, why is he not going to the cops and then suing them?

Exactly. This is theft, vandalism, etc. The shop did not follow the correct legal recourse of obtaining a mechanics lien. Have them arrested. Call your local prosecutor and police.

[FaLKoN240]

Um, I think they'd rather battle it out on Zilvia.

I would immediately save all these forum posts, contact the police and tell that fool see you in court.

This could be so easy but OP is dumb.

Wow, can we lock this shit...its turning into a he said she said bullshit. Looks like you guys need to fucking sit down and talk instead of making a ridiculously stupid drama thread like this. We dont need to see this nor do we give a fuck. It would have been koo if the thread was entertaining but, jesus fucking tits, reading this thread gave me a fucking migraine.

Besides, looks like you got your car back for the most part...time to move on and deal with the situation on your own. No point of getting involved everybody on this forum into this drama. Sounds like there's fault on both sides, cant really finger one side the full fault. If you're still not happy, make a fucking Business Review thread. You can spill your guts in there for all we care. We dont need nor do we wanna see this back and forth bantering crap. Shit just makes all you guys look like a bunch of retards.

[platinumpresto]

...id be happy if someone found my rims

[Howlermonkey]

It's true......I moved to south florida so I could claim to be the smartest person in my area.

I could not make that claim in D.C. so I moved.

Look for me wrenching the car that puts the texas mile record over 250mph this october.

[gotta240]

Fuck this place is full of little kids.

The OP is retarded and did not pay for shit like he should have. HOWEVER, HE DID NOT DESERVE TO HAVE ALL THIS SHIT HAPPEN. The cost of the rims alone would MORE THAN cover what he owed.
I would understand if only the rims were stolen or only the motor, but everything stripped appears to be well over the amount that was owed.

This appears to be GRAND THEFT. I don't care how "great" of a guy the owner is or how "great" his work is....What has been done is just evil, childish, thuggish, and ILLEGAL.

As one of few adults on this website, my OPINION and ADVICE is to

1. NOT show up in person and get your ass beat by 10 douche bag wanna be thugs. DO NOT threaten anyone. Keep it mature. Your posts so far seem to be TO THE POINT and backed by evidence...KEEP IT THAT WAY. Dont get all childish now. Dont call names.

2. TAKE THESE SCUMBAGS to court and sue them. You have so much video,pictures, etc as evidence that it is rediculous. I'm pretty sure you guys have small claims court in Florida.... I would think you have a hands down win.

stripping the car is low.... I think they should have kept the whole thing.

Dont spend money you dont already have.

[handinpants]

thanks, but i couldnt kill em, they are, were... some cool people...

...but very bad business ethics... very bad


i don't know them, but i wouldn't kill them... killing people is a bad way to get a point across, and dead people don't pay. just remember wear a mask, dont talk, and do something that will make them hate life,

[handinpants]

hey guys, i forgot to suscribe to the thread, a few things to clear up

-I DID make a police report
-His shop isnt official, he is doing some jobs to collect monmey to start his shop officialy(which he didnt)
-since his 'shop' wanst official, he could not do a lien
- his plate # is
http://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/res/5c2e8193-7388-4205-aed3-7690db20a581/siderun.jpg

...and yes, my car had a KA-T v-mount setup with megasquirt... but i didnt take possesion of the car in december(when i had some of the moneyt and i lost my job) because the install was all sloppy spagitti wire looms everywhere, he didnt install any of the gauges, & weld the diff as he agreed.


attention op: hey dumbass, if his shop was not legit, then he is operating without a business license. quit your bitching take his ass to court and let the justice system take care of this for you.
or do nothing and expect no results

[DeathMetal]

Yeah, I (very unfortunately) live in South Fl. It's ridiculous how many retards live here. I feel like there's all of about 3 people I know that can even tell me how an internal combustion engine works in its most basic principals.

Oh well. Having dealt with the legal system here. Really, no one is gonna give a shit about his car. He should just go and break the guys legs. The cops are to busy pulling over lil old ladies and busting people for Marijuana (oh no!!!!!!).

[gijoe69]

atleast they were nice to leave jackstands, unlike my old car they left it on Milk Crates with no wheels and was torched charcoaled out lol

[Bigsyke]

Holy messed up thread. How come there are two platinumprestos??

[iwishiwas-all*]

sometimes im ashamed to say i live in south florida.

what in the fuck is going on here... You guys should meet up and rectify the situation in person. You get money, you pay buddy balance, he delivers you car in way it was to be received. If your wheels were stolen while it was in his care, you need to take that up with him and his "shop insurance" and figure out how that is to be rectified. This story is a dime a dozen in south florida, I know neither of you guys but it seems there is wrong doing on both sides of the equation.

Holy shit man.

[ThuG LyFe]

wow that's low man at least tell you that if you can't pay they'll take some parts but still...

[n_my_coupe]

If owed them money, him not having a job really isn't a problem of theirs.

Not to mention if his car is at their shop (was it?) and he isn't paying storage fees, it's even more reason for them to dispose of it.

every one here defending these :mrmeph:'S Who did this have the mindset of a thief IM REALLY DISSAPOINTED IN SOME OF OUR FELLOW ZILVIAN'S ...WHERE'S YOUR FU(K'N HEART PEOPLE ...PUT YOUR SELF IN HIS SHOE'S AND THINK ABOUT IT .....IT'S STRAIGHT FU(KED UP AND IF YOU FEEL DIFFERENT ...YOUR FU(KED UP...SERIOUSLY ...IM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS MAN...YOU NEED TO GO TO COURT... BE SMART ABOUT IT ..THEY ARE IN THE WRONG HERE NOT YOU...IF THEY WERE LEGIT THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR SOMETHING MORE PROFESSIONAL... I WOULDNT PLAN ON GETTING YOUR PARTS BACK THE PEOPLE THAT BUY $HIT FROM PEOPLE LIKE THIS ...WELL THEIR ALL THE SAME ..... CHEAPSKATES:rl:LEGIT PEOPLE

[n_my_coupe]

This is what happens when you're poor and live beyond your means. Why are you having work done at a shop that you couldn't afford to pay for? You had it coming.

I'm sure the shop owner could tell a totally different story.

dude shut your face ...he had a job when he started and he lost it ...$hit happens...GOSH people cut this dude some slack
