He’s gotten left at LVD multiple times by his “friends” that he helps out when they need it, they laugh. Good thing he has a few people that are actually his friends and gave him a lift home. Also, I’ve personally witnessed(along with Lance and Murrdog) Kramer leaving Joe Jiggs at a Mobil gas station in Lake George after giving him a ride up there and saying he had to go home and get his detailing shit in which he would have no room for Joe. Joe then called me, and Lance, Murrdog, and myself went to pick him up and he then just stayed with us for the remainder of the weekend.

He was working for free, maybe if you were paying him in one way or another(not counting $5 pizza from Little Ceasars) and he pulled something like that I could see it being grounds to put in a bad word for not doing anything.

> I support JJ
I hope that part of what your saying is not about me as I live in guilderland and have had joe work on my cars before. Joe is a good guy and was greatfull for the work he had done for me. I have bought him food as well as even asked if he wanted money and he said “no” I always invited him to places such as lvd, anytime I went to the mall, etc.
On his birthday last year we were working on my daily driver and he called and asked if I wanted to finish what we were doing and I said its your birthday you dont have to. He still wanted to. After we finsihed (which i think i may have told him to stop) I offered him to go to the movies with my girlfriend and friend and had no problem paying for him at all.
all and all I consider joe a friend as I use to be with him in highschool. So again, I hope that sentence didnt include me.

From meeting/getting to know Joe he’s an awesome dude who will help you out in a pinch.
I know some of the situation with Ryan/Joe, but I don’t think I know enough of the background of the whole thing to comment on it, aside from saying that if you’re not being paid for your time, it is your time. All promises aside, all indiscretions and everything else aside, as a finance/business major, I can imagine the “time is money” principle is a well pushed point.
I support Jiggsy built!

exactly. Joe has helped me before, when I was having electrical issues with my car, I called him up sure enough he figured it out within the hour. You can say he smells bad tastes like shit or whatever lol but bottom line hes a good kid who goes out of his way to help people often times for nothing.
