I haven't heard any mention of him in any of the 'rotary' scene i've been involved with around here, which hasn't been much since my car's a good 1300 miles away.

 

So many people have been burned by him that he can really only prey on those who are either naive or are disconnected from the internet.

Word of mouth can keep a business from growing.

 

<----Crying tears of anger and sadness! SORYY DUDE! I REALLY AM!-Erik

 

bump

 

Speed, did you switch sides?

If am not mistaken GG's "shed/shack" is in the background of that pic, right in front of my old SA22.

 

OMG....I REMEMBER THAT CAR. It was at some midnight races back in summer of 2003 or 2004. Dude was ******* the **** out of it. Then he passes out some business cards.

THEN, I see the car on the road...WITH THE OWNER DRIVING IT...DIFFERENT GUY.

I specifically remember that car racing at Okanella one night, with a spanish speaking guy driving it. (Not the owner)

Who is the owner of that TII anyway???

 

man this sounds like chad from asi racing down herein ft lauderdale. almost exactly. sorry i havent read all 24 pages of this thread on ly the first.

 

ugh...that's fabulous, dang killjoy, so sorry to read about all this crap from this dude, if he ever shows up in Austin we'll make sure he doesn't stay long lol

 

speedjunky i suggest you go get your car,or find out where it is.cuz there is alot to this story that is behind the scenes.PM me if u would like to know more.

BTW,you probably remember know who i am.

also,i dont even understand why anyone would take their car to gabriel.after all the **** thats been said.on top of all of that,i know ur goin PT76 and he said its gonna make 500hp and what not.but think about this for a second,why is it that no other car that he has built with a "big turbo" and a microtech run fast?he cant even race his own car because of problems.so basicly all ur car is gonna be is an experiment,and his track record for experiments isnt good.

julian was the one that did 90% of the work,but julian finally wised up and broke off.and ur car has been over at gabriel's house for over 5 months.if i were u i would begin to wonder if my **** was ok.also gabriel is a horrible fabricator,so if unless he has done a complete 180degree turn,i wouldnt trust him to work onmy lawn mower.


ttyl,bye

 

ahhh.. the plot thickens...


c'mon man ..share with the class... don't keep all the juicy details bottled up!




J/K

 

speedjunky- I've met you before and IIRC your car is at Gabriel's house right now. IMO, you should get your car out of the RIGHT NOW. He's never going to finish it. I've yet to see ANY car that's he's actually completed work on. Everything he touches runs worse than before it was brought in. Steve, Keith, and me have been undeniably fucked over by this crook. Our stories are not rumors or gossip, they are true and there's nothing that he can say in his defense.

TO4Needy- Check your PMs.

 

im sooooo sorry u had this **** happen to u man its a damn shame sue the **** out of him and wether u get money or not for what he did **** his *** up any ways id permenatly **** someone up for messin wit my car and i dnt even have a motor in it right now........ive benn stabbed 4 times b4 and scars are a deff reminder of things and ur car is ur scars go give him some............aka:the new york way

 

Just to look back at this guy's history here is how it all started with my car:

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=169982

 

Being a Jesus Freak, as I am, I have witnessed amazing things happen to people who have screwed me over.

A company I worked for screwed me out of overtime money. Company went union, collapsed, and the owner ran from the country, chased by the tax man.

Another one. Boss paid me poverty wages for a year and a half while he got rich. Wife got fat and ugly, forced him to sell their nice new house and move into some condo, then divorced, she took the kids and accused him of molesting them.

Another paid his kids a lot, they had vacations, new car every year, while me and others did most of the work. He first broke a tooth off whle eating once, then had a heart attack and a stroke, and had to walk with a cane, half his face paralyzed.

Another employer, had a heart attack after his wife was treating me wrong at work.

"Vengeance is mine, I will repay says the Lord." I choose not to take revenge on people who have shanked me. But, I sure pity them.

I'm not asking anyone to believe this. But I have found that when you do good to others, on a consistent basis, it becomes extremely dangerous to do you harm.

On the positive side, I have marveled at some of the good things that have happened to those who are kind to me.

This one girl who is my best friend, and who has gone out of her way to help me out when things weren't going well from time to time, was trying to fix a pressure-washer for a coworker, who was holding it. The coworker pulled the trigger while the tip was inches from my friend's face. Instead of grenading her eye to worthless shreds it just sprayed up under her eyelid, causing a few days of irritation. Miraculous. No loss of eyesight or function, or beauty. Tempted as I was to find the coworker and introduce his face to the inside of the back of his skull, I prayed for the guy instead.

Much as we like to trust people, it is often safest just to pay for stuff after it happens. And get character references for people who are on here.

I am considering some cars for sale from hondachevy, koryyahi, SSRs among others. Can anyone vouch for them?

After reading all 25 pages..I think most of us deserve an update by now.

Sorry to hear about what happened to you man, but **** happenes for strange reasons. All you have to do is keep it together and work through it and it'll all come out all right.

 

+1 on that note friend, got horribly screwed over by my ex wife, only to watch her from a distance lose her job, friends, have all sorts of health problems etc. while I have since prospered in numbers of ways and am much better off now. I've also noticed a pattern between the folks who are lame and the ones who are jewels, rest assured that people like this gabriel guy ALWAYS get whats coming to them, even if we're not always there to see it

 

I just meet another "customer" of gabriel. Seems as though the last few I have meet are under the age of 25. From my knowlegde of the board game clue, I came to the conclusion that 90% of the people he still deals with are not very informed of his past. Dr. Killjoy is right, almost all are very disconnected from the internet. Gabriel also seems to be very convincing since the last few guys seem to stand tall next to his work.

On a side note: I have a little story about one of his affiliates. I meet this guy while out on night at a car meet. I assumed the position of the average "V8 kills everything guy" and proceeded to explain how I just purchased this 10th AE RX-7 TII, and I'm going to swap a carbed 350...blah blah blah...I was just trying to weed some of the "yes men" at the meets and see if anyone opposed my idea.

Well, a guy walks over to me and starts to question my logic, and I quote, he says "I beat V8's all the time..."

So I ask, "Well, what do you got???"

He shows me his 7 (built by Gab) and continues on how he has 3mm apex seals, and a huge streetport. He says his mechanic (Gab) dynoed the car at, and I quote, "280 RWHP on stock 9 psi of boost"...LMFAO...I start dissecting him like frog...heres your stock fuel pump, heres your stock turbo, heres you stock intercooler...blah blah blah. I question his lack of FCD, TII hood, and boost gauge. I tell him to bring his crapbox out and give me a run. He tucks his tail and retreats to his 7.

Later that night I catch him rolling all by his lonesome. I proceed to distort one of his orfaces all over the street, over and over and over again.

Months later I see him driving a highly modified SRT-4...stage 3 blah blah blah. He beats me. I tell him "its ok, RX-7's aren't for everyone"

Some mechanic.

 

that would be edgar.lol

 

So how much money did Gabriel screw him out of?

 

edgar got even with him when he tried to screw him outta some money/parts.edgar made him pay through the nose.....at least thats what edgar said.

 

lets hear it!!

 

Unsure of his name, although we did speak for a bit, on a later occasion. Guy seemed pretty average, but I could smell the BS he had been feed.

 

Hey "legal experts"! TX will allow the seizure of real property, but not property associated with legal employment. This would include a car to get to work, and tools in the case of a mechanic.

Just throw down the $75 and get a JP to get you a small claims judgement.

Use the JP closest to your house.

 

Not that simple when your dealing with someone who threatens with violence and can leave the country in a heartbeat.

Not to mention it is pretty easy for someone with the name Gonzales to disappear in a city like Houston.
