Degrade this forum with ghetto behavior and get the boot. Ghetto behavior such as street slang, no regard for education (spelling & grammar) and threatening others with violence has no place on CAFords.com. Please find another forum to demonstrate such behavior.

Posts: 9882 | From: Bay Area | Registered: Dec 2002  |  : RRRCobraSC281 ¯ Member # 7086 posted                              I painted some interior parts for Joe and his fellow technician Renee 9 years ago. The guy installed the Saleen front sway bar and solid aluminum bushings on my car. He did this and even aligned my steering wheel at no charge. It might be a small thing, but it meant a lot to me. I'm in disbelief. My condolence to the Golinski family.

He would always say "No worries". very mellow down to earth guy. Posts: 351 | From: Santa Clara | Registered: Nov 2009  |  : stanger91 ¯ Member # 397 posted                                 RIP Joe. I'm still in disbelief... Joe was a great friend to me and helped me whenever I needed anything. Joe was one of the last few true tuners out there. He wouldn't let anything leave his shop unless it was perfect. Hell, you could eat food off his shop floor... Condolences to his family and loved ones.
