it's in your blood to be pretty badass.
Even in your first experience as a lil' Joe, the guy that fuxored you ended up having to flee the country. I wish all my stories ended that cool.
Where were you and your pops when I was wasting time going to envelope stuffing and door to door knife salesman conventions during my get rich quick (or die trying?
) schemes of my teenage years!!?! Coulda saved me a TON of trouble.Only time I got REALLY shafted was by a member on here...set of coilovers...not as described, totally beat up, not intended for a TL...ended up losing the shipping back to him but luckily, I called Paypal

I almost got scammed big time on ebay too, about 8 or 9 years ago. I oh so desperately wanted a JDM ITR engine to put into my Civic at the time. Finally had the money and tools to proceed with the swap... was looking everywhere for the engine and then found one on ebay. Seemed legit. For a swap that was costing about 5k back then, I found one being sold for 4400... sweet!
Until things started getting a bit fishy... I realized the photos were from a website that sold JDM engines (you could tell by the background). Figured it was odd, but asked for more pics and they came... figured maybe they were selling some inventory off on ebay (hey, when you want something that bad, you'll start making excuses). I don't remember how it came to be, but I think he sent me an ebay link to "buy it now"... except my browser instantly shut the page down and was giving me "this is a phishing page! be warned!"
I lost my bananas. Got the guy banned off ebay (though I'm sure he found a way back) and was happy I didn't lose a ton of cash. I felt like a tool for not listening to my spidey sense... "it'll be ok... this is all good.. this is what you want and NEED!!"

oh...and there was a guy I sold a set of wheels to on the ephatch forum...met up with him, he tried to do the "aww braw, i got 400, i could hit you with the other 200 on the 15th when my wic check clears"...I said no sir...so he took the rest of the money out and paid me...
but he bought my wheels and sold his current wheels on the forum to a guy...the guy was like, this guy took my money and never sent the rims. So I called him because he seemed nice enough and I wanted to give him a little advice not to be a jerk. He was like "whodis" and hung up on me...
so I ALMOST got ripped off by him. I went back to the forum and gave them all the info I could on the guy that I knew from my transaction. FK it...snitches get bitches.

Oh and let's not forget the V wagon in February! Remember that Maj?!? No paint work...bullshit...something felt wrong...
dude kept insisting we use escrow.com....fkng Manual Thunder Gray with Recaro and yellow brembo wagon for $42K...about 20K too low...
something didn't feel right...dude's alias (presumably) checked out...
backed out...heard that the V was used to lure people for some scams using escrow after that. Shiettt...THAT would have sucked!

Go buy a slim jim like a normal person!
I wasn't raised to kill stuff, I wouldn't have the heart unless I was starving. Luckily, Publix is right down the skreet.
Majofo...thanks for the warning, they refused to give me my application back and won't open the gate for me to leave.
