Anyone know Joe Prince?

[11 Bravo]

Formerly of Joe Prince Racing in Mount Holly?

[misterjuice]

yes what about him?

[unstable bob gable]

He used to smoke cigs like they were goin' outa style...

[BigAls87Z28]

Holy crap, I havent heard that name in at least 2 years. He was a cool kat, at least the few times I met him.

[11 Bravo]

yes what about him?

Just wondering if someone knew him. If anyone talks to him, let him know 11 Bravo aka "Mike from Iraq" is moving to within a few minutes of him. Suprise. He stole quite a few thousand dollars from me and he needs to start figuring how he is gonna settle his debt because he'll be seeing me. Also, let him know in addition to the money already owed, the $3000 Darton block he sent me was cracked. And before my shop discovered it, someone had warned me that he knowingly sent out a junk block to one of his customers. So, he'll be needing to deal with that as well.

[foff667]

:lol: from what i read he screwed alot of people out of alot of money...kinda fell off the face of the earth for a while...i know he's friends with a bunch of people from CI though. Never met him but agree he needs to settle his large outstanding debt.

[bad64chevelle]

uh oh this doesnt look good.

[Tsar]

video tape the punishment then post it on ebaumsworld!

[11 Bravo]

:lol: from what i read he screwed alot of people out of alot of money

That is an understatement, but i think I got the worst of it. When he was an LS1tech sponsor in '03 and I was in Iraq, I sent him $10,000 (my saved combat pay)for a 427 longblock. All I got was a crank, pistons and (junk) block. Last time I spoke with him a year ago, he swore my TEA heads were at his house and promised to send them. Of course they were bare because he didn't have the money for valves or springs :roll: Not. Now I'm hearing he is working on cars again. I'm sure he thinks I'm far away and that it's over. Not by a long shot. So whoever know him, tell him he will be getting a knock on the door soon, I still have his address.

[foff667]

eh i dunno...i think bear got screwed as well as a bunch of other people...similar instances...been a while so I dont remember all the details but there wasnt a happy ending for anyone from what i remember.

[11 Bravo]

eh i dunno...i think bear got screwed as well

Yeah, he got boned big time.

[misterjuice]

i never liked the guy...........seemed like a weasel to me......

and what was with the 50's doowop hairstyle he had........looks straight out of "the outsiders"........frikkin ponyboy.

[BigAls87Z28]

I remember hearing some **** about him, but didnt know it was that bad. Ouch. Thats why Carbs and Gen I SBC FTW!!!!111!!!1one1!!!
Wow...did I just praise carbs?

[2001orangess]

i was trying to figure out where i heard that name again..... but al i know is that he screwed people out of some money. thats about it

wait i remember seeing him at a shop.... someone booked him and the owner was pissed caused i think he didn;t want to be associated with him

[NLinnear]

Yea, he went to TTP for tuning.

[Demonicbird00]

he also went to cartek.



yeah hes a good friend of mine and my carclub, works on a few of our cars.

thats all im saying, im staying out of it, if one of my buddies wants to add they can.

Guess he didn't join the Navy like he told me. If he is your friend, great. I'm not trying to start any **** here. Just let him know I'm coming and I will get my money. It's up to him how that happens. The man stole my combat pay for gods sake. That's about as low as you can go. BTW, here is the soap opera:

damn just read some of the posts in the ls1tech thread.... that guy is just begging to get sued

[NLinnear]

It was never a secret.

[Jersey_TA]

He put the package on my car now and I have had no problem with him. I didn't know him during all of that, but I'm good friends with him now. Whatever you do please don't touch the blue truck in his driveway....that's my beater that I left at his house before I had to leave on this deployment.

[11 Bravo]

Well, he did do all that. I won't touch the truck. I won't even touch him. I'm not looking for an assault charge. But I know sometimes nothing happens unless you see the guy face to face. If you are his friend, let him know I will be knocking on his door in a few weeks. As a matter of fact, I ask you to please tell him if you can. He will settle this. In court or out is up to him. I got all the legal advice I needed long ago. It was just a matter of me being up there. I will not call or e-mail him anymore. But if he would like to call me and talk about this before I get there in June and save him a confrontation with me at his house, let me know and I will pass along my number. Otherwise, he is in for a big suprise because I am not letting this go. He screwed me so hard man. Completely crushed me. Where I come from, if there is one thing you do not do it is mess with a man's car or his family.

[11 Bravo]

One question I do have is he working on cars out of his house, or is he employed by a shop?

[Jersey_TA]

He's not employed by a shop. He does side jobs on our cars/friend's cars as a favor.

[z28c4maro82z]

Joe is a good buddy of mine as well, not as good as demonic bird or jersey ta but he is a good buddy nonetheless. Joe is a very good guy, but did know him through the debate. Now also, I cannot speak on Joe's behalf because well quite frankly I'm not him. Just I hope the debate is handled in a civil manner and no one gets hurt at all. I hope it gets resolved

[Rob WS6]

Its wierd... you hear about this kind of **** all the time, but being so damn close to where I live, hell he cant be more than 15 minutes away. I never heard of him or anything like that, nor would I pay him or anyone else to do work for me.

These storys of people getting ripped usually burn me up as it is... Not to mention the fact that Ive got NOTHING BUT RESPECT and thanks for you and all of our troops... and for this ****er to not only take your money, but your ****ing combat pay, is just... beyond words really. If youd like any locals to come along with you (strictly for intimidation purposes ;) ), just say the word. You **** over someone who risks their life to protect our freedom, well I personally take offense to that!

your should know the story b4 you open your mouth!!

joe got screwed over from all this internet crap!! everyone will believe something when its bad.
and you never hear the good things, like the previous 5 yrs he spent on cars. and custom things he has done.

your going after the wrong guy he was a scape goat for the shop that he merged w/. all the **** that happened, happened w/in a 2 month span, when he was w/ the other shop.

but like i said no one will listen because everyone wants to believe the neg ****.

"intimidation purposes" you have no idea what you would be getting into

this crap died a long time ago and thats how its gonna stay, Joe is not the culprit.

If this was an isoloated incident then It would be different... but to hear alot of people getting screwed and things not being made right? That doesent sit well period. If he isnt the culprit then whys this guy out $10k of his combat pay eh?

"you have no idea what you would be getting into"

Oh please. :lol:

ohh some big **** if gonna go down, everyone hide!!! i've looked down of a barrel of few guns before i dont think he will intimidate me :rofl:

No, Brandon, you are incorrect. There are guys he screwed before he went to work for JD's. I am one of them, I can't speak for any others. He took my $10,000 check out of the mailbox and cashed it and spent it on something besides my engine before he was a JD employee. Since you know him, ask him why, to this day 2 1/2 years later, he has still not made good on our business transaction. In his mind he will think "because I didn't think I would ever have to face him", but what comes out of his mouth may be amusing.

[11 Bravo]

Exactly how do you plan to make it stay dead, brother? And who are you?

[bad64chevelle]

bravo hes just one of his buddies who will stay by his side but when the **** gets deep he will be gone.

He was on LS1tech a couple of months ago trying to defend him. Didn't work out too well when it was proved Joe has actually lied to him about having a patent on a waterpump :roll:

hmm...

[2001orangess]

i don't know the whole story, but its had been rather interesting. I too would be upset at the fact that i got scammed $10,000. I mean if it was a couple of hundreds i'd let it go but 10,000. there;s no excuse for it.

Just because you are assciated with doesn't mean that you aren't liable for the trasnaction. Im pretty sure 11 bravo addressed the check to Joe Prince and not the shop he was working at. If so I assume it would be his responsiblity to make due on the services he was paid for. I don't think he had any intention of repaying anyone if he hadn't payed them in the last 2 1/2 years. BTW what ever happened to the shop?

That says it all. How anyone can argue against that, I don't know. I don't want to start shi* or make trouble, I just want my money. It's a cut and dry case. When a man does not take care of his business, sometimes the past can come back to haunt you.

[12secondv6]

I don't know much of the story.... I have read horror stories about JPR.... I have met him, he seemed nice..... but I have not done business with him.

I can not comment any further

[unstable bob gable]

10 G is a lot of $ to get screwed out of...!!!!

[Fastbird]

He put the package on my car now

HA! I KNEW that was his garage I saw a pic of your car sitting outside of. I kinda had a hunch that you knew him and that he had been working on your car the way it ran.

I've had personal dealings with Joe and was not disappointed. He did a head/cam package on my car a couple of years ago. Never ran right, but that was no fault of his. Even running poorly (heads/intake didn't match up at all.....too much taken off of head surface=intake runner oil leaks) the car was monstrous with a baby 224/230 cam. Anyway........

Joe took care of me. After the heads initially came off the car for a new shortblock it was found that the springs were not correct and the valve job was fubarred. Aparrently the shop that Joe had been using was not quite up to the task in the attention to detail area. Called Joe up and he had Lorenzo's Fast Flow take care of me, and he picked up the tab. I can't complain one bit about my experience with him.

Yeah, ya got me on that one. He's always taken care of me and I've never had a problem with him.

[11 Bravo]

I'm sure Joe does good work for you guys there. The reason I chose to do business with him is because up to that point I had never heard a bad thing about him, and saw outstanding results. I could have bought a 427 from Cartek, MTI, anyone. But I trusted him. He was a respected LS1tech sponsor. If I lived in N.J. like you guys, I seriously doubt I would have been in this situation. I'm sure he is a great guy to you all. But he has some skeltons in his closet concerning me.
