    The car was not at the shop for repairs just to be sold. Repairs were never discussed and were intiated by the shop owner without our knowledge or consent. No Is to dot.

    No but I drove by it a lot. Oakland and surrounding area was home for 58 years. Black Panther HQ was there too on the border of Berkeley. Brother knew Eldridge Cleaver in school. Great times.

    California is a state case. Victims just need to speak their truths.

    He did not have a license before.

    Appears he has a new bungalow at the desert for his Ferraris.
    My guess is he starts the business again

    That video was probably made before Donnie spent the last 8 months in jail.
    Why wouldn't Donnie start up another shop? Seems like there are no consequences to what he does and people are willing to give him their cars to work on. He will continue doing the same thing until he pisses off the wrong guy.

    There are a lot of "so glad you're back" comments on his Instagram page. Doesn't seem like this episode has tarnished his image much in the world of social media (surprise, surprise).

    It will be interesting to see if Matt Farah goes back to promoting him.

    One would hope that this episode will, at a minimum, make it easier for potential clients to see the red flags and prompt a little extra due diligence.

    Sad to say but a lot of people out there have no standards to speak of.

    Yes. But perhaps this helps the marginal would-be-client who at least does a quick Google search before handing over the keys to their car. This story will be at the top of any search.

    True but as many have learned in this saga so few do any due diligence at all.
    Observing the success of many like him I learned a long time ago people want to believe.
    In my early days of being a Ferrari mechanic in the 70s there were a lot of Italians in the business just like him.
    Their story always started how they were mechanics on the F1 team. I used to joke I had met more ex Ferrari F1 mechanics
    in America than Enzo had ever employed. Exotic cars, high end boats and airplane business are all full of charlatans.

    I don’t get it. The prosecutor asks the grand jury for an indictment and they oblige. Then the indicted party goes free.

    On what basis were the charges dropped by the DA. or case dismissed by the court?

    Had he grown up where I did he'd be fish food.

    Well, swimming with the fishes isn’t so bad….its the sleeping with them that gets you.

    Yeah…..that would be tragical.
