Never piss off your mechanic.

A couple of years ago I needed the motor replaced in a Taurus I had. I used to do this stuff myself but I'm getting old and lazy so I went to a local garage...they wanted nearly 2K to put in a motor that I'd already sourced. The car wasn't worth that much and I was about to scrap it, then my friend Dave--who lived in a Cleveland suburb--told me he knew a couple of guys who did auto repairs cheap if you paid cash. They were just out of prison and they couldn't get real jobs so they opened a shop in the one guys garage. Towing, labor, and miscellaneous parts all came to the grand total of $750. I was thrilled to know that I had a new cheap mechanic on hand.

Well, it only lasted a few months before two out of the three ended up back in jail for armed robbery. I hadn't thought of them since...until today when I saw this headline. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,570855,00.html I couldn't remember the name, but that picture looks exactly right. So now it looks like all three are back in jail, I gotta get in touch with Dave and see if this is the same guy.

jesus sidewinder.. and I thought I knew some weird people.

On the plus side, if it is the same guy, he did a hell of a job on the car; and it would explain the smell in the trunk.

this whole story would sound better in April.
if it was the same guy ... you got off easy

The early reports were wrong, he only killed women...so unless he caught me on a Wednesday...

I have two friends that swear this is the same dude though.
