I rented the worlds longest limo from this guy for a month long tour.
The first night we took it out on the town, the thing broke down.
I thought I was renting it from him but right before the contract started, he sold the limo to a poor guy named Sean in MN, site unseen.
This limo broke down too many times to count costing me a lot of lost opportunity (Vegas Primary, Super Bowl Weekend to name a few.) Just to keep it running so we could return it to Chicago cost $5000 in repair bills which he feels that I should pay... About 2 weeks after the limo was returned, the thing had an electrical fire because Bob jumped the starter which blew the circut breaker and burned down the limo! I feel for this guy Sean who got conned into buying the piece of $#!t Now hes about to lose everything cause he didnt have fire insurance on the car!!!!
Anyways, to make matters worse, Limo Bob skipped out on his half of our hotel bill and put his room on my credit card. (close to $2000 total) An agreement we have in writing that he was to pay because I bought all the dinners and drinks for he and his family.
I then shipped him some cleansing products cause he said he was full of $#!t ($600 worth) and received no payment as of 3/11/08
His driver then stole my credit card and charged it for hundreds of dollars worth of stuff after the contract ended! (now I have to dispute everything which is a pain in the @$$)
On top of it, he sends me a $600,000 bill for the limo because he says I broke my contract and that it was my fault that the limo burned down. (he has a contract made up in his head that I was going to rent the limo for a year for $30k a month!) Thats what Sean told me Bob told him to get him to buy the limo in the first place!
What a joker (that could probably be considered fraud). Now I have to stand in line for a lawsuit against this guy if he doesn't keep flying to FL to avoid being served papers. You could try his moms house at 5320 63rd Ave N Pirollas Park FL 33781 or the plaza at st petes beach near tampa. He has 2 homes, one is a penthouse condo with a great view and one is in the burbs, cant find those addresses.
Hes an easy guy to get along with and fun to be around. Watch out, he will try anything he can to rip you off. He doesnt have a merchant account because of, Im sure after reading this site, other disgruntled clients, DONT PAY IN FULL IF PAYING IN CASH UNTIL AFTER THE CONTRACT IS COMPLETE, if you pay with a card, you might want to inform the sucker he's got excepting the card and is giving BOB the cash up front to grow a brain and show him this site. If you are not happy with the service, hes the one that gets hurt, not big limo bob... Sean got suckered into being Bobs merchant and has told me of quite a few unhappy clients of bob charging back on his account.
For every 1 complaint that is filed Im sure there are 10 others that arent...
What I would like from Bob is: At least $1500 for the hotel bill, $650 for the cleanses, $5000 to cover the repairs paid to Sean and another $5000 for the 8 days the limo wasnt running during the rental agreement. (I was paying $650 a day for it...)
All in all, I think Limo Bob could be an amazing business man if he would consider how important having a good reputation is and to not break his word. If he would focus on win win situations and not only himself he could go really far. Until then, WATCH OUT

This is what happens when you have your PRO's fix things? as you call them, remember how you bragged about fixing the circuit board in the rear of the limo. (You may wish to get the info on the service place that you used to help you play with the circuit board under the seat.) The liability may fall on them for the fire?
We stripped most of your decal off the limo and was on our way to a BIG Event, when the limo burnt entirely, the fire dept came and the fire was so hot, it melted the glass. Thank God my posse and I weren't in the vehicle for the photo shoot. the vehicle was on its way to meet us to film for worldwide magazines and TV in Chicago, we were 45 minutes away form being toast! By the grace of GOD, it burnt on the way to picking us up. This was the first time the limo went on any trip, it was parked after it was on your tour. Then Sean had part of it stripped, then one his way to pick us up in it. then THIS!
Joby Instant messengers me @ approx: 2pm on 2/29/08 and this was the conversation:
JobyWeeks: hey bro, so are you going to ignore my email to you or are you going to respond to it?
BigLimoBob: I will respond right now
JobyWeeks: great
JobyWeeks: how was the cleanse?
BigLimoBob: dont know yet?
JobyWeeks: I thought you said you started it.
BigLimoBob: I did sat, and little stomach pains, and I am now on a fruit and veg diet, and I begin my workout monday.
JobyWeeks: so you only did 1 day out of the 3 days?
BigLimoBob: no I did all 3
JobyWeeks: so you went with no food for 3 days
BigLimoBob: yes
JobyWeeks: did you just s**t your brains out or what?
BigLimoBob: no really?
BigLimoBob: not like you said I would
JobyWeeks: did you look at the pics in the booklet?
BigLimoBob: yes
JobyWeeks: maybe you should do one more then, when was the last cleanse that you did?
BigLimoBob: I just did it a week ago tomorrow
BigLimoBob: I paid Charles 400.00 for you
JobyWeeks: I already paid charles before you gave him the $400
BigLimoBob: remember when you told me he owed 400.00?
BigLimoBob: or you still owed him 400.00
JobyWeeks: charles owes you $400
BigLimoBob: and you didnt want to pay him?
JobyWeeks: bob, the moral of the story is to talk to me before giving people money, I gave charles $2900 cash before he lft denver on the 5th of feb
JobyWeeks: our agreeement for $3000
JobyWeeks: I told him that I was not going to pay him the last $100 because he never showed up
JobyWeeks: then a couple days later he snakes $400 from you
BigLimoBob: you did talk to me about the 400.00
JobyWeeks: did you read my email to you?
BigLimoBob: yes but you both told me the same thing
BigLimoBob: if you wouldnt have told me, I would have not paid him
JobyWeeks: no I didnt, charles owes you $400 and hes in big trouble with the police now for stealing my card
BigLimoBob: how did he stael your card?
JobyWeeks: read my email
BigLimoBob: Joby, you gave him the card for expenses along the tour
BigLimoBob: you knew you owed $5k for the balance for the month and you refused to pay it
JobyWeeks: the tour ended and he kept using my card even when he got back to cali, READ THE EMAIL
BigLimoBob: I read it
JobyWeeks: ok, so Im in the wrong for charles taking my card and paying his phone bill and gas and s**t after the tour ened... DID I MISS SOMETHING?
BigLimoBob: Joby, come on brother, just because Ron Paul didnt win, doesnt mean you can just not pay what you agreed to.
JobyWeeks: I didnt agree to pay to fix your limo
BigLimoBob: yes you did, I told you all expenses incliuding mantenance etc,... all expenses while on your tour.
BigLimoBob: that is why you did poay the expenses along the way
BigLimoBob: you knew it
JobyWeeks: In fact, If this isnt taken care of ($5000k credited back to my card) Im going to bring some lawsuits bro
JobyWeeks: You reniged on your agrement to me regarding the hotel
JobyWeeks: you never paid for the cleanse
BigLimoBob: just like the agreement to pay my hotel bill if I stayed, and you agreed and then I said it again, and you agreed again
JobyWeeks: you lied to sean to get the contract and sale
JobyWeeks: no I didnt agree to that, I agreed to what was written
BigLimoBob: say what?
BigLimoBob: you agreed to do a year tour for $360.000.00
JobyWeeks: no I didnt
BigLimoBob: that is how you got the good rate
JobyWeeks: bob, I would like to stay friends bro, but dont bullshit me
BigLimoBob: do you remember anything?
BigLimoBob: you forget the hotel
JobyWeeks: doesnt matter how many times you tell an untruth, it will never all of a sudden become true dude
JobyWeeks: Im not paying the $5k
BigLimoBob: you forgot the tour, you said you only needed it until 11/7/08 and I said you might as well finish the year for you are paying for it.
JobyWeeks: and if I have to fight it, Im going to sue for another =$5k
JobyWeeks: for the 8 days at $400 a day
JobyWeeks: and then the hotel bill and cleanses if you really want to take the time and do it, I have the contract in writing
BigLimoBob: services were rendered, you ended it.
JobyWeeks: oh and thanks for the DEAL with the heartbreaker
BigLimoBob: you also signed a credit card agreement to pay and you did pay the $15k
BigLimoBob: how was that fraud
BigLimoBob: as you told Sean
JobyWeeks: I also paid $10k for a $2500 wrap, thanks for that one too
JobyWeeks: your not a friend, you just use people to make money
BigLimoBob: I dont think it is fraud when you authorize in writing for Limo Service, and then sign it, and then tell him stolden cc?
JobyWeeks: Im not charging back the $15k Im charging back the $5k
BigLimoBob: Joby, just because Ron Paul didnt win the presidency, doesnt mean you can just screw everyone now?
BigLimoBob: I cant beleive you bro
JobyWeeks: put yourself in seans shoes or my shoes, I have NOTHING TO DO WITH RON PAUL
JobyWeeks: and the election isnt over anyways
JobyWeeks: You are screwing sean
JobyWeeks: you tried to screw me
JobyWeeks: $65k for a $40k limo
BigLimoBob: I am in Seans shoes, I am his consultant
JobyWeeks: thanks
JobyWeeks: What is seans number?
BigLimoBob: I am working with sean now to put all the numbers together as to this tour
BigLimoBob: I sold the hearthbreaker limo for 75k last week
JobyWeeks: thats nice, I lost his number, Id like to let him know what I plan on doing if this matter is not resolved this week
BigLimoBob: 39,900 is 50% down, and payments for the other, owner financing by me or cash and carry for 75k
JobyWeeks: congrats on finding someone to buy it from ya
BigLimoBob: I told you 10k off for you
BigLimoBob: but it looks like you dont appriciate much?
BigLimoBob: I got you the 10k wrap for free
JobyWeeks: I sent and email to you while I was in hawaii clearifying what "maintenance expenses" were. I paid for the gas, oil change, wash. Im not paying $5k to fix your limo
BigLimoBob: where your talking 2500.00 is another one of your guesses
JobyWeeks: sean had a wrapper guy estimate what it would cost to do the job, he gave him a $2500 quote
BigLimoBob: you cant change the rules in the middle of the game
BigLimoBob: worong!
BigLimoBob: Sean just told me he has a guy that will wrap for 7500.00 again
JobyWeeks: well he is lying to one of us
BigLimoBob: that is because he had to pay him to take it off
BigLimoBob: 2500.00 to strip it maybe
BigLimoBob: it doesnt matter what anything cost? what matters is, is what we agreed to, and what has been done here
BigLimoBob: this is all BS what your talking Joby
JobyWeeks: do you want to handle this as gentlemen outside of court or do you want to have a judge decide, I 100% refuse to pay the $5k for repairs
JobyWeeks: if it goes to court
JobyWeeks: a number of other issues will be brought up as well
BigLimoBob: if you would have just paid your tour, and your driver, and your etc
JobyWeeks: and I will win
BigLimoBob: we wouldn't have had these problems
BigLimoBob: I know Joby, you always win
BigLimoBob: your rule the world
JobyWeeks: if you limo worked Id be happy to do so,
BigLimoBob: that Phantom 55 drove around the USA
BigLimoBob: 8k miles
JobyWeeks: you guys broke it the night you rented it to me
JobyWeeks: the thing is a piece
BigLimoBob: through the mountains and over the river and through the woods, to joby's house it goes.....
JobyWeeks: 8 days late to everything
JobyWeeks: you will make your money back on it
JobyWeeks: mine was a donation to save your freedoms
BigLimoBob: I know joby, everyone is wrong, and you are right.
JobyWeeks: at least you are willing to admit it
BigLimoBob: I cant beleive you would fuss over a measly $5k
JobyWeeks: sell one of your chains and contribute to the revolution
JobyWeeks: its principle
JobyWeeks: if I bought the limo, Id fix it
JobyWeeks: but I rented it
BigLimoBob: my friend, come on, your reveloution is so far fetched, and Ron Paul could never win with 2% of the American vote, you are like trying to find a neddle in a hay stack, it will never be found.
JobyWeeks: the election isnt till the summer
BigLimoBob: ronpaulrewards.com was why you did this whole tour
JobyWeeks: it was a way to fund the tour
BigLimoBob: it didnt work, you didnt make anything with it, so you dont wish to pay your people
JobyWeeks: im over talking about it, you got robbed by charles
BigLimoBob: thats all folks!\
BigLimoBob: no I didnt?
BigLimoBob: he said he had to sleep in the limo some nights
BigLimoBob: and it was suppose to be free room and board
BigLimoBob: and he had to wait for Ron Paul supporters to pay for everything
BigLimoBob: until you authorized him to use your credit card
JobyWeeks: I westernunioned him cash when I was in hawaii, he is full of s**t
BigLimoBob: then your haveing him arrested for stealing your credit card????
BigLimoBob: you charge back the credit card to Sean, (Who screwes who???)
BigLimoBob: and you are trying to screw me out of the 400.00
BigLimoBob: keep the 400.00
JobyWeeks: I put $5k into seans limo for him, he should have paid that bill, its a wash
JobyWeeks: tell charles to keep the $400
JobyWeeks: you gave it to him not me
BigLimoBob: did you make that agreement with him?
JobyWeeks: yes and I told him that I would help with his charge back fees, then I called the bank and they said there would be no charge back fees if he credited the account, so now Im waiting for him to credit the account
JobyWeeks: what is his number?
BigLimoBob: you told me outright that you were going to
BigLimoBob: I am on the phone hold on
JobyWeeks: sorry I thought you were talking about sean not charles
BigLimoBob: look are you going to pay the 5,000.00 or not?
BigLimoBob: are you going to pay the 400.00 or not?
BigLimoBob: this is all this is about
JobyWeeks: are you serious? havent you read anything? Why in Gods name would I pay either? Let me ask you, are you going to pay $600 for the cleanses? Are you going to pay $1000 for the hotel room?
JobyWeeks: whats seans number?
BigLimoBob: the cleansing I thought you were sending it to me for my TV Show to tell the audiance that the Limo King took it, and it worked or not worked?
JobyWeeks: no thats not why I sent it and I never stated that either
BigLimoBob: as far as the hotel goes, I was leaving in the morning too like you, but I stayed, and made sure the limo was ready, and made sure Charles got picked up and put him at my sisters house til the morning
JobyWeeks: The hotel came to roughly $2000
JobyWeeks: leaving the remaining $3000 to pay you out of the $5000 as agreed apon in writing
BigLimoBob: yes 1/2 of it was your own room
JobyWeeks: I was going to apply the $600 in cleanses toward the $3k I owed you
BigLimoBob: you and I both stayed there
BigLimoBob: then the last night I let you stay in my room
JobyWeeks: I stayed in my own room the whole time bro
JobyWeeks: with johnny
JobyWeeks: I left at the crack of dawn bro to catch the flight fri night
BigLimoBob: I meant my sister house the last night, not the hotel
