T-Pain got his 240 back... it's rough.

https://www.tiktok.com/@tpain/video/7163084419463630126

Theres a different 1.5hr long video that T-pain posted explaining this whole thing, but to summarize;

- Meets George, who claims he is a big name in drifting, at a drift event, becomes friends
- T-pain lets George drive his 240 at a drift event weekend, George destroys the motor (shit happens, right?)
- George offers to fix car at his shop
- After it was supposedly fixed George asked if he could use it for a TV show, T-pain being the nice guy he is says ok.
- George crashes the car
- Turns out George never fixed the car before the TV show
- Takes a year to repair while giving T-pain the run around, failed promises on completion dates, lies about updates, etc
- Guy start asking for money, claims his shop is hurting financially while he buys an R8, new lifts, etc
- T-pain, in a last ditch attempt to get his car back, offers to pay up front AND pay the shops payroll for a month to get his car (actually two cars) completed
- Recieves car and it's absolutely horrible

Turns out this George guy is known locally to be a "fake it til you make it" clown who is constantly caught driving around and beating on his clients exotics that came in to get worked on.

I can say this much, T-pain has far more patience than I. I guess he also frequents the sim racing subreddit.

Well it's about a 240... so "general automotive" sounds like the appropriate location. And I'm all for a good story

This has to be one of those punk'd shows right? Not even a crackhead working out of his moms garage would think that wrap was good enough.

I thought the same, but nope, it's real. Apparently she ran out of film and couldnt order more, so she tried using scrap pieces to finish the car and likely realized she was in over her head and they just wanted to rid themselves of the job.

watched the whole saga last night and I gotta say, T-Pain is a much better person than I am.

Even after all the issues with the 240 between getting the run around for over a year, asking for money for things George said he would fix for free, and all the lies, he still gave George business with his m3, which george fucked up, and then his new ferrari.

Was very satisfying that in T-Pain's follow up videos, he blasted George and Tiffany for the shady scam artists they are. Tiffany posting a lot of BS then sharing T-Pain personal cell number on social media, and George talking tons of shit in private about T-Pain, after trying to use T-Pain's name to get some clout, would have pushed anyone over the edge.

And then, the icing on the cake, is now people are posting a lot of videos of George driving customers cars and dogging the shit out of them. Videos of him revving ferraris and lambo to redline at lights, burnouts, drifting around on public streets (even a video of him drifting around a public street in T-Pain's car while at the same time telling T-Pain the car wasnt ready), and a lot of pics and horror stories from other customers cars over the years. Dude doesnt deserve to be in business.

Agreed. I would have lost my shit a long time ago. After watching the video about this whole thing, seeing his reactions and posts in the simracing subreddit he seems like he a genuinely good dude that honestly wanted to help his friend out.
