OT-do you do your part? ( VW related)

I have an idea. Fuck the Adopt the HIghway program and pay back Joan her nine grand. I'm surprised any club would allow you on their site given your shitty reputation, and I wouldn't associate with anybody that would allow you to fraternize. Any club that allows a thief like you on board faces a huge liability to their own reputation. Own up to your responsibilities, that's the only way you'll ever be worth a shit in the eyes of the VW world.

I can see that you marked this "off topic", but what does this have to do with anything?

You do realize that you are posting on USENET, right? That means that this is a worldwide discussion. People overseas don't know anything about your club, and even if they did they are not likely to come over on a boat and help you clean up the side of the road. It seems that the majority of the people who post here don't like you much. This to me looks like an attempt to improve your image with them. Obviously, this stunt has proved ineffective.

If I were you, I would get a new e-mail address, maybe change my name, and perhaps even move to a new town. But I would definitely not waste my time posting here any more. Unless you are only here to try and get flame wars going, which is quite pathetic.

snipped-for-privacy@aol.com aka Mario Gavazzi, is a renowned thief and con man. He cheated someone out of $9,000 for a shitty ass excuse of a "restoration job," and, rather than your suggestions, I would suggest Mario f*ck off and die. Until the day comes that it is learned he made good on his horrendous thieving of Joan's money, he will always be known as among the most horrendous genital warts of the VW world.

Yep - the Full Moon Bus Club took a huge hit by allowing the thief, Mario Gavazzi of Vintage Werks Restoration to do that. The only conclusion we can come to is that they aid and abet known thieves and scammers.

You crybaby bitch. It's you that conned Joan out of nine grand and refuse to own up to your sin. Man, you are going to have a hell of a price to pay in the after life, I'd wager! I'm guessing whatever show you're talking about you most likely had a quick eye over your shoulder most of the time, because there's plenty of people that, given all you've done, would be more than happy to beat the shit out of you.

yes the days when we weren't aware of the snakes hiding in the grass... the theives preying on the pack... the times when you either had some integrity or just hadn't been exposed yet... you are right, those times have passed and the water that flows under the bridge is recycled over and over, naturally... it was *you* that changed this group... congratulations you crippled a good resource *and* managed to spread your less than desireable reputation worldwide. You probably should have kept your participation here like it was back in the days you long for, only a few posts here and there, and most couldn't even figure out what you were trying to type...

Come on Marihack, are you sure that one of your "restorations" didn't blow up in your face and wind up in a court and the judge sentenced you to community service (i.e. picking up trash on the side of the road)? Seems like a more likely scenario. Are you saying that if we see you in an orange jumpsuit next time you are doing your "Adopt a Highway" thing should we just assume that it is your cutting edge sense of style?

Come on, you know what they say - confession is good for the soul.

Soul? Mario? Yeah...

Did the second pick-up this weekend 11 bags of trash and 2 bags of aluminum cans that will go to the Alamance homeless shelter.

There was also a contest for the most unusual litter and I think we stand to win one of the cash prizes ,that will also go to a charity.

The best thing you could do for humanity is to dive into an industrial brush shredder with a doggy bad at the output end

Do that

Mario! I saw you picking up up trash on the side of the road! You were really work'in it in that orange jumpsuit.

you are correct, that really is unusual litter...

Somebody needs to throw Mario into a trash compactor. Anybody that would think Gavazzi is any kind of philanthopist needs to reexamine their dictionary; Mario Gavazzi is a PHILANDERER.

Let me guess... One of your customers drove by and lost a quarter panel load of bondo?

I just donated a 68 beetle to the schools automotove class to build an electric power car. If I give the the name of the instructor and contact info would others donate some needed parts to complete this project. I'm sure I could get them to post progress on some web site.

Thank the Lord that at least that one Volkswagen has been spared from being butchered by you.
