    They belong to a kid who's 19 who I use to consider a friend; but ever since another friend made a joke about him, I told the kid with the 2 wald rides that the guy who makes the jokes does it in comedy; He either makes jokes to laugh at himself or others; all in good hearted laughter; and if you know that guy (all the 310)-members do..They know he's one funny cat.... I guess no longer talks to me now..

    So I figure since I'm in good standing here just tell the other Socal members not to do his cars. Or at least charge him another 300 or so ontop of retail

    I wetsanded his hood/ trunklid/ rear quarter (right); rear door(right)... and front left fender..
    And his front right door had over a 600 dollar damage on it which a PDR guy took it out for 100.

    I knew him fairly well so I knew he didn't have the $ at the moment, and infact he did take me to chemical guys once to try and reimburse me for the work (about $200) of stuff. But alas they were closed.

    I guess its my fault for counting the chickens before they hatched. :chips: ...
    Anyways :end rant:

    I guess i know of 3 or 4 members here that'll help with my stance about the matter..

    Something does not add up here. He's 19 years old, has a ****-off Lexus, but doesn't have money to pay a friend for a detail that was done?

    Pretty much; I mean I said just buy me lunch for the day just for then; I thought he'd keep his word but no...

    He said here let me show you and showed one of his checking/savings.. he had barely 300 (I guess until he goes back home and gets more $)... but yeah I believed him :doh::doh::doh: ..
    I should've let the bodyshop paint the door and screw things up on his LS..

    That is unfortunate sir, hopefully he'll cough up what he owes at some point...

    or someone should do a hit and run on him again.....A guy at the shop was right...He's pretty straight up with me and sometimes gives me a hard time but he was like even if he's you're friend charge him (when I was first doing it)...

    I wonder why he's so into Lexuses to have two. I considered getting a Wald kit for my car though, along with those exact wheels. They are Japanese but very classy.

    I did take that picture but the car was driven like 40 miles+ some braking so they became dirty again.. But yes MB your assumption is correct.

    I think its pretty low to make you come wash his car to get money that he already owes you...but you did right, just swallow your pride, wash the car and collect 300 bucks....now just dont talk to him again..if he screwed you once it will happen again. Lesson learned, its always good to know who your true friends are and obviously he aint worth dog$hit

    spoiled #@^* i hate when people like this are just given things like nothing. hell i got my first car from my dad but at least i earned it by working with him in exchange for no $ from the age of 12. id say pick up a hammer go to his house call him out and wave the hammer over the car and see if he doesnt pay u back :)
