    Default Callout (Morris)

    How and where do I even start with this one? Well I guess it can start with a nice fuck you to Morris and everyone else that is behind what happened to my fucking car. Wasted over 8000 for a build and tune and got my fucking GSR back unfinished and missing my hondata. These sacks of shit took every last dime i had, knew that car was the only thing i worked to call my prized possession. Karma is a bitch and she'll be seeing you real soon.

    Why would you pay for a service/product BEFORE you get it?

    Damn, all the morons being ripped off at car shops. Stop going to mexi chop shops and go to a well know established shop. 8k? Wtf were u thinking. If I spent that much I would be visiting the shop almost everyday. Take the dudes to court. They by law owe you either parts/services or your money back or something of equal value. Posting a callout won't get you shit but flammed. This is why I do the work myself. It may not be of super high quality but atleast I'm not being stole from and fucked over lol if I was ripped off for 8k id be in jail right now.

    Morris was pretty well respected around here, ran Midnight Auto up in woodstock. He had a pretty great rep from up north too.

    Stories like these are a dime a dozen, theres always 2 sides. Without giving any details, this can be complete and utter "customer is an idiot" type situation.

    yeah thats the situation. you must be retarded because he ran that shop into the ground and the only respect he has up north is his local dick riders.

    I think it was up there so long because the parts weren't shipped overnight from Japan.




    But I could be wrong.

    Anything is possible.


    Perhaps a better explanation is the container with said parts got jacked on the highway by four black Civics with green neon underglow shod with Mishimoto ZX tires.

    But seriously I think I've met that morris guy once, midnight atl or whatever, he seemed like a shady character. I definitely wouldn't trust him with any possession I care about let alone a car build.

    I love the fast and the furious comments and references its like you guys play that shit before bed every night. i didnt get into this shit for the popularity contest or get your respect or approval of whether or not Im a ricer or some punk kid that doesnt know shit except for the fact that my neons and stickers make my ride look so fast. My dad put in his 280z as a little kid and made this my dream to one day be able to have a badass car that i called my own, that i earned by busting my ass and being an honest productive member of society. So to whichever hater feels it necessary to follow my posts with more shit talk about how im some dumbass or im some fake ricer, have at it your opinons are like assholes, everyones got one and most of them are shit.

    Damn bro... Didn't mean to get you pissed off. I know how it is to get screwed over by a "shop"... It sucks, and I only got taken for less than half of what you did. I was only joking around with the fact that there were no details posted about what happened. In no way was I trying to insinuate you were a "ricer" or "fake".

    Sorry you took it that way.

    First of all, Ive been on this site for years and I worked at tons of shops and ran tons of local shops. You OP was very vague.

    I believe i heard that Stretch and Morris did have a falling out (just rumors I have heard) so I dont know how this affects this situation. However, Stretch from what I know is a pretty nice guy, seems really grounded and Morris, while he was a hot head, Ive never seen anyone claim he was a thief or scammer.

    Sounds like you went from blaming Morris to now Blaming stretch which leads me to the conclusion that you have NO IDEA who or what screwed you over.

    I suggest you subpoena them both, bank records and all, and take them to court. It costs $85 to file. Sounds like they split up, and someone isnt telling the truth.

    yeah Morris from Midnight, it all started when I originally needed a tune. that went well, a few months latter had rings that went bad and decided to do a whole new turbo set up and full rebuild. it was drug out for over a year with bullshit like you need this, oh we forgot that, other customers are in front of you. So Stretch did the best he could with what money Morris hadnt already pissed away now this is also going off of what strech and a few other people have told me but apparently he decided to start using ecu's off of mine and a few other guys cars to help his boys out with their shit. Im really not looking for any sympathy or smartass opinions even though this site is full of those, the only thing behind this callout is letting that sack of shit know that Ill be seeing his ass at the next event or shop I catch wind of him being at around here. I know where i went wrong and can accept the fact that i should have never went with a shop that wasnt fully established yet, but all that aside the question I do have is what legal actions i can take towards a shop that is closed and a dude that runs to florida or new york when shit finally catches up to him. what really put me over the top is when I came to get the car from a storage building nothing was said towards me about how they were planning on doing anything to pay me back for the work that wasnt done and the parts that werent finished and to top it all of i was told if i ended up parting it out stretch wants dibs on the shell. really? you give me my car back in pieces and have the nerve to tell me you still got money to pay for my shell? Its made me hate the car i loved to death, and caused problems in my life with ones i really cared about. i just want these dudes to know that not only did they fuck me out of everything i have but they also took my piece of mind and destroyed my relationship, job, and home.

    Deposits are a common occurrence when it comes to projects like what OP sounds like he went for. We don't start a project where I work without a deposit. Then again, we've never pushed an unfinished project out the door.

    So the truth finally comes out. Morris has een trying to reach me the whole time and stretch wanted to keep that from happening so that he could continue to blame it all on morris, and finish his fucking race car with my god damn money. to all that know stretch let that mother fucker know that when i get done with him he's gonna wish he never met me. i guess there is always 2 sides to every story, and i was wrong to go off of what one man said to me. scratch that. this is the prime example of a bitch not a man.

    No, what you should do is post the whole story, you just accused 2 people of being scammers, you owe it to THEIR reputation to explain yourself.

    Default before and after

    trust me the bay was no jewel when midnight got it. The car did start and run and drive though. Needed rings/rebuild. i drove this car onto the tow truck via its own power. the after pics do not show that there are no axels installed or shift link hooked up. the only parts missing that i am sure of is S300 and probably some heres and theres little shit like clamps ,hoses .bolts. also payed for dyne tune that well obviously couldn't happen....bla bla bla. the intercooler is mocked up with 2 bolts , wire harness and axels are in trunk. relief cuts in bumper for piping look like shit IMO... there are lots MORE scratches and scuffs in paint then before!!! WAS not perfect to start but .....???? and yes work was paid for before completed because your stupid if you think you can drop off a car and say do 5k-6k of work and ill be back to pay you after you use all your money to buy parts.... gimme the # to the shop that will do that for me!!! and the car was not GIVEN back like this..... we had to pick it up on a dolly from a storage building, not a shop we dropped it off at with a Dyno in the floor. stretch is very down to earth and easy to deal with i will say. i will also say this has become very unprofessional and out of hand.

    You should holler at stretch this whole midnite situation is all messed up. Stretch is very reachable, i think u should get in contact with him if you have not already.
