This thread is hillarious. The kid brought a 2004 Celica in for major body work adding up to 16K and now refuses to pay and is trying legal actions to get the car for free.http://www.tamparacing.com/for....htmlThis is widely talked about in multiple forums and a lot of people have come forward saying they have been scammed by the same kid.Other hillarious threads proving internet can be just as dangerous as it can be useful to thieves....Stolen 1991 Skyline GT-R found by forum members, complete with pictures of the thief driving it. http://forums.beyond.ca/showth...ber=1Stolen X-Box 360 found with the X-Box live account http://news.filefront.com/inte...anger/Stolen MacBook found with "back to my mac" that enabled the user to remotely activate the webcam and snap a shot of the thief using the laptop. http://www.technewsworld.com/rsstory/62972.htmlDon,t underestimate technology

Why would you put $16,000 into a Celica?

I've been following it at nasioc. pretty funny. kid showed up at the shop with his mom, his gf and a cop to get his car. once the cop got the story from the owner, he sided with the shop. the thread on nasioc is from a friend of the owner.

16K on modifications but lets not forget the initial 17K to buy the car which haven't been paid either..... that's 33K for an automatic Toyota Celica.Although I have to admit, the shop made some incredible work on this car's interiorhttp://www.autoblog.com/photos/japworks-celica/
