He can jsut change one letter in his name and cut the probability of you finding him in half. Gonzales to Gonzalez. Now you have 300,000 people to look through.

Use the JP closest to your house.

I think this advice was given 25 pages ago or 1 year and 3 months to be exact. To get what ever he could right away, put the car back on the road and forget about pain and suffering, since this dead beat had nothing worth taking.
But, "Wanna be Legal Experts" here said to get a lawyer and to sue him for all he got (which is nothing).
That option went down the toilet very quickly and with it the GG Fucked RX7.
So here we stand, 1 year and 3 months later and ****** GG is still in business screwing people and no resolution to the longest Internet Forum Saga.

The poor souls that go to him(GG), are not reading this Forum.
With ALL the BAD talk about GG going around in the Houston area and/or the local RX7 Club, don't you think he would be out of business by now????
I'm not saying to close this thread, but you are not saving anyone from ****** GG.
My point from the begining is still the same and time has validated my position on this matter.
Vick got NOTHING and lost a great car to that SOB of GG.
Vick is to be blamed in a not so small part, for keeping the car there.
He was watching the carnage slowly but surely and did nothing about it.
The car was there 1 year and 10 months!!!!!!!
He was sooo naive and gave GG the benefit of the doubt for so long????!!!!
Thank God for RP, Marvel Speed, BDC and Gotham.

Actuially, I know of at least 20 people (new owners or people who are just discovering the forums) whom have come to me looking for information about the mechanic. After spending 10 mins reading this thread they have sought other assistance from either one of the local shops that are "trusted" or have gone North (to Dallas) looking for help.

Question

So my point is, his business should be suffering Big time by now, to the point of No business.
I mean how long will it take to put him out of business???
How many rotaries are there in Houston changing hands????
With the word of mouth spreading about him from owner to owner, he should be done by now.
There are only a finite number of Rotaries in the Houston area and with less and less on the road every day, he can't have a growing business.

Well you really have to define "business"..

He used to work out of a shed (big enough for 1 car and some parts) behind a real shop.

To my knowledge he now doesnt even have that luxury, last time I was in the area things looked pretty empty over there. His whole method of operation pretty much revolves around business cards, a bag of tools and some smooth talking.

Never to my knowledge has he actually owned what would be considered a shop. Gabriel is no more than a shadetree mechanic who passes himself off as the real deal. He works to gain the confidence of his new clients by telling them about how he is going to have a shop soon, and just needs to get some business under his belt etc.

As far as cars changing hands or new owners it's hard to tell. We get about 3 new users on the local forum a week who are owners. I try to email those owners personally and welcome them to the club, if I had to guess 1 of every 3 that joins is a new owner.

Exactly!!!!!!!
What business????
He never had one to begin with, therefore no possible hope of collecting any money from him or putting him out of "business".
So where are the RX7 Legal Experts now, that advise to sue him and get all he could???
When there are no assets, capital, property or expensive tools worth going after, there is NO case.

Well I think reading to page 10 is enough. I hope I didn't miss anything good.

This Gabriel guy perplexes me.. it's depressing to know that people are perfectly capable (and willing) to screw others over like he did to you guys.

I suppose that's the price we pay for capitalism, heh.

Yeah man, I'm definately not going to this ******* because of this thread.

To the guy that got screwed over and started this thread, damn dude, I feel your pain man, I'm really sorry about that, and to you too Keith. Damn, if something like this happened to me, I'd beat the living **** out of this ******* guy... and then some. I don't know how you guys remain so calm, I'm wanting to beat the **** out of this guy just from reading this thread. But yeah man, definately sue and get your car back to top condition man, and good luck.

Karma kills, I got over it a long time ago, now I just trust that he will get what is coming to him.

I don't even think he has a shop anymore... someone emailed me a couple of months ago and said that the shop he used to work out of doesn't appear to be active anymore.

You must be new around here and have not read the 3,000 pages on this thread.
Don't go far, just read the last page and it will give you a good idea.

I just noticed the name of this asshat's "shop": Rotary Performance Plus.

Sounds like he took a reputable shop's name and tried to capitalize on their good name while at the same time trying to one-up them by adding 'Plus.'

Plus what? Plus incompetence? Plus thievery? Plus rotary-illiteracy?

I have grown wary of some of the verbage out there.... Ultra, Super, Plus etc. Usually it's a big pile of bullshit. Stone Racing Super Manifold indeed.

This guy should help Darwinism on it's course......Gabe, if you're reading this: load the 9mm, put the barrel to your forehead, and pull the trigger. Please.

Yeah, I beleive he is... I just got a private message the other day from someone warning me that he was still in business and had moved across town somewhere.

Deliorx7, it is good to know this thread has once again deprived G.G. of another victim. If you would like to meet some freindly owners who might be able to help you with your car please come and join us sometime for one of our meetings.

BTW - What are you needing done on your FD, I am certain we can send you in a more reputable direction.

Lawsuits? Slander? Defamation of character?

The personal insults from this Rotaryspec user show all of us, beyond any shred of doubt, that he does not have anything substantial or truthful to lean on. Remember this and use this when reading everything else he writes.

nice work buddy, how about thsi:

1. caps lock, key on the left, try pressing it a few times to turn it off
2. if this piece of crap is so f-in innocent, why is he hiding from people? where is his response to the posts? If it was me, and someone was lying about me and hurting my business I'd be defending the crap out of it, but seeing as how this dude is nothing more than a frickin' hack who rips people off, I guess that's why people like you are defending him. I pity your future my friend, and this gabe guys as well, as you reap what you sow, and I hate to be in y'all's shoes come harvest time.
