Recent show report from Farmington:

"Saw a Mario car at Farmington sunday. met the owner and told him to google Mario Gavazzi. This car was roped off and looked like shit. obvious painted over rust and freshly painted bent wheels. rubber hanging down because of a rusted away rubber channel. bubbles in fresh paint around the windsheild. an unrepaired front apron that had the left fender so torqued, it was almost touching the bumper blade and was peaked over the middle of the wheel. The finish was horrible and the fit was even worse. There were signs in the car making excuses for the shitty work as well. This car was restored as to "preserve" the originality as much as possible. I guess OG rust and early apron damage falls in that category."

"Not only was Mario there, but him and Kelly almost threw down! Shit was priceless. I guess Mario got scared to get out of the truck he was yelling from when he saw 6 or so of us walking up..."

Yeah, Mario, your life is just a dream, ain't it? Too scared to get out of the truck? LOL!!!!

=A0

Here are a few examples of Mario's "work":

See - Mario keeps on posting tinypics, and the rest of the world sends in closeups. That is embarassing. Here's a quote from somebody who was at the show:

"now this car was setup with poles and chains around it and the owner seemed really proud early in the day. later he seemed a bit uptight."

Hear that Mario? Better load up your gun there, because another one of your customers wants to talk to you about your crappy, crappy work. How much did you take him for? I bet he's pretty steamed, now that he's been educated a little bit. He's probably already done Googling your name and has heard all of the documentation on you.

this explains why Mario hasn't been on here trying to brag about the Farmington show... I mean, if he was too busy pissing himself to get out of a truck to say what he has to say(screaming from the safety of a vehicle is a bitch move, Mario) and more pictures of his prized work were about to hit the group, no wonder he's a bit shy... seems Mario taught his customer the new definition of "restored".. hell, silly me, I still thought it meant to return to the state that it left the factory... I assure Mario, that never looked that way from the factory... guess it needs to be called "custom"...LOL

Mario, please don't ever try to play upity bodyman by saying anyone else's car doesn't look as good as the turds you spray over, you won't find anywhere that I just sprayed(primer at this stage) over flaking rust and paint on my car... seems I care more about surface prep for primer than you do for your final paint... you are a hack...

oh don't worry about my customers I have a shop full of work and the person that I did the 66 for has 4 or 5 more in wait. lol when are you going to get your only bitching among yourselves.

and how can I feel bad when the only beetle there tat was nicer cost the owner 25k + to have done ?

I think I need to send a few of you a midal and a tampoon

Now that is seriously funny.

Wow, that has to be another show winner for Mario.

You are going to need to scramble to get a permit for that concealed carry you are doing, Mario. It took about six weeks to get mine and it involves fingerprinting and a background check. This may present a few problems for you. First, you're going to need to scrape enough bondo off of your hands to actually have fingerprints - they are very specific about that: there needs to be whorls and swirls, or at least some sort of definition. Can't just give them blank fingerpads. Also, you had better pray that a simple Google search is not part of the background check process, in which case this thread will turn up and you will most likely be toast. Generally speaking, people who make threats that involve firearms and have a shady past are not considered to be good candidates for a concealed carry permit.

But the big hurdle is the processing fee. If I recall correctly, mine came to over $65. Or in your terms, that's fifteen crumpled up singles, three rolls of pennies, all the change out of your customers' cars and a post-dated check written on your business account for $42.63. And then, of course, you are going to have to write a single- spaced handwritten note afterwards explaining why the check bounced because your customer failed to pay you and times are really hard and your wife's back hurts but you promise to pay in full as soon as you get back on your feet - maybe next month.

Does this sound at all familiar, you stupid loser?

=A0

sure...

you may have charged 25k to hack the car up, but that doesn't mean the customer will get his money's worth... like charging Joan for work you didn't do and didn't intend on doing.... you did 500 dollars worth of work and charged over 9K more than that...

dat coleje edjumacation shur be wurkin out goot fer ya...

funny, he never would respond to that scenario, just like he won't ever respond to the hack ass, jackleg work we see in the pictures...

Further confirmation that Mario is a dick slurping herpe sore. What a bitch ass! LMAO.

Now I know why they made those "this is your brain on drugs" commercials.

Just had another project droped off today, meet the guy at the show and he said if I could make his beetle look as good as the 66 for under 15K he was all about that. ( haven't even had a chance to get into the 52 somuch yet waiting for parts ??? what you think the price tag on that will be??? lol yea I'm so hurt

so again after a year and a half of whinning and bitching I'm still on top.

but thanks for the entertainment.

That's interesting. People "on top" usually aren't known for frequently bouncing checks and defrauding people. I think you must have the term "on top" confused with the term "running scared".

=A0

that's gonna be an easy 15K evening... if it takes you longer than that to respray a car without prep, you really suck worse than your work shows...

the entertainment is watching you avoid talking about the shit on wheels you send out and brag about... you love to brag about it and talk incessantly about it UNTIL someone posts pics of what it really looks like... you even did that with Joan's car.... you are a pathetic excuse for a bodyman, or a man period...

Kathy, the fact that Mario is still allowed to attend your shows, given his past history and his reputation in the ACVW community, doesn't speak well for the integrity of the show.

If I were in charge of that show, Mario's ass would be escorted out as soon as he arrived. Period. That said, I applaud Kathy for her stance, as I agree 100 percent.

Yes, what Kathy said was the only real way to handle it - you have to stay above it and refrain from the appearance of picking sides.

No way would I be able to rise to that standard though. Once somebody admitted to bringing a loaded gun to a VW event, that would be it: I would give that person a "permanent invitation to the end of the world". And I would be doing it out of self-protection.

Say that at next year's show, Mario once again attends the event carrying a loaded .38. And maybe at this time, he's been hitting the crack pipe a little heavier than he usually does and at one point he imagines that Kelly is coming at him with intent to do god knows what. So Mario draws his trusty, rusty .38 and starts spraying bullets.

OK, what he is actually aiming at turns out to be a telephone pole, but of course every round misses because Mario is shaking so badly and several bystanders are hit - fortunately nobody is seriously harmed, as Mario can only afford cheap 20-year old range ammo that's been sitting out in cardboard boxes underneath his trailer in soggy conditions for years. But several innocent people are injured and many are traumatized by a meth-addled crack user wildly spraying bullets at what is supposed to be a "family event".

Now enter the lawyers.

When people begin to realize that the event organizers WERE AWARE THE WHOLE TIME that there was an unstable person attending the events carrying a LOADED FIREARM - that's it. Game over. No more shows. No more organizers. And I hope your insurance is paid up and covers this kind of - well what is going to be interpreted in open court as "gross negligence".

I could be wrong here, Kathy, but now that Mario has started carrying concealed weapons to shows - and now that you are aware of this - I think that you are going to need to discuss this with a lawyer.The liability for this could be serious. I will be more than happy to send you a copy of the email that Mario sent me, admitting that this is what he has been doing.

Why in the hell do you knowingly allow Mario at your shows when it is well documented that he is a thief and a hack? Are you blowing him too?? Have you no shame at all?

that's what you said about Joan's car... even said it could "easily be a showcar, like all my work"... then the real pictures came out, not the 20 footers... just as you claimed this latest bondo'd up piece of shit (thanks to Bob Hoover for that one) was spectacular... then we saw the real pictures... and you refuse to talk about them just as you do Joan's car, the yellow ghia, and now this new one... what's the matter, Mario, pleading the
