    Well, not just 100% yet.... It's just some database error that could be resolved if whoever has access to it wants to.

    haha yeah I had that quote up while I was posting convincing people there to leave. lol

    I remember buying a bumper from Duwayne back then. I paid in person though and got the bumper on the spot. I consider myself lucky not to get scammed. I tagged along for a car meet/show later on as well in Little Tokyo if I remember correctly. Brings back memories. Damn.

    while i owned the xb and my first tc, duwayne had started some scion based company when the tc came out and even after numerous warnings scion owners still bought from him and got scammed. he even ventured into other car forums and scammed people. another thing that no one else probably knows is that he went to brooks college in long beach for graphic design and was kicked out for not paying and eventually everything went into collections and what not. i had a family member that did admissions there filled me on the info.

    If he keeps scamming people, he will get caught eventually, and he will be on the news on day. :)

    i am really surprised, but no one (at least publicly) went after him. it was all threats and nothing happened. people roll over to easy and just take it. i think one person filed a small claims law suit, but i don't know if anything ever materialized from it.

    future scammer possibly?
