    Huh, there are only two comments now, both vague and positive. I guess you can edit youtube comments on your videos? I assume you can close it to comments. HE must need some dosh to pay his attorneys, looking for that 'money up front' job.

    Yes. He deletes anything that doesn't praise him on YouTube and Instagram.

    He definitely fits about 90% of that.

    The thing that strikes me is the lack of empathy or caring. The lack of understanding or awareness of his actions.

    Which i thought was a sociopathic trait.

    But... I'm a pre school drop out and a car dealer... So this is obviously on the opposite side of expertise. Although... I do come across all sorts of characters lol

    Some of sociopathic traits are shared with NPD. Among these are lack of empathy and complete lack of morals.

    The guy was walking around Ferrari Club concours in Pasadena last weekend. My friend and I watched him saunter through like he didn't have a care in the world. He's shameless. He was probably taking credit for restoring half the cars there. lol

    I'm sure he still doesn't have a BAR license, so no doubt he's working on all these new cars gratis, out of the kindness of his heart. Besides, taking money without a BAR license would be illegal, and we know Donnie would never do that! lol

    As for Leno, unlike Farrah he acknowledged that he got duped by Donnie and regretted the idea that anyone got taken as a result of seeing Donnie on his show. Not hard, and the classy thing to do.

    Guys like Donnie just go until the wheels fall off, then tell big stories in prison to make themselves look cool. I don't envy him.

    Did anyone have the stones to call him out? In a world of Impalas, be a lion.

    Well, once Donnie finishes with you, you need a drink, so I guess that adds up! Lol

    In this instance BAR stands for Bureau of Automotive Repair. They are the state agency in CA that licenses mechanics to work professionally, among other things.

    I appreciate that you put out that interview, Scott. And I'm very sympathetic to the feelings behind the work you're doing around outing Donnie. I know we are on the same page as it relates to Donnie's (lack of) character and (lack of) worth as a human being and a mechanic, but we have this fundamental disagreement on how to deal with him. My attitude on Donnie remains the same. Any attention, even an attempt to humiliate him, just feeds his ego. It creates windmills for him to tilt at.

    He is a part of the narcissistic sociopath zeitgeist that seems to be currently gripping our country. In my opinion the only way to deal with people like that, be they deranged mechanics, tech "geniuses", or political figures, is to deprive them of oxygen. Berating Donnie publicly just creates another story for him to feed off of and twist to his favor. He's a loser. I don't want to give him the satisfaction.

    Were he ever to approach me, you can be sure I would certainly give him an honest representation of my feelings toward him. But I would literally not walk across the street of my own accord to p*ss on him were he on fire, let alone insult him or pick a fight with him.

    Besides, I'm sure Donnie monitors these threads religiously. After all, they're about him! He's too narcissistic to resist. So I'm sure he knows exactly how we all feel about him. Lol
