Celebrity Justice
Dude, Jesse James Took Me For a Ride!

A guy from Omaha claims Jesse James just doesn't deliver.
Read the docs
According to a lawsuit filed today in L.A. Superior Court, in 2005 Michael Jones commissioned James' West Coast Choppers to build him a 1949 Cadillac Sedanette for somewhere between $250,000 and $350,000. But, according to Jones, after shelling out $270,000 in payment over two years, the car wasn't completed and James told him the car would now cost between $600-700k!

Jones is suing for breach of contract and fraud and asking for the $422,680 he eventually sunk into the car as well as interest, damages and court costs.

BTW -- Jones still doesn't have the car. A rep for James could not be reached for comment.

16. People who don't know their cars shouldn't be shelling out this kind of money...I just Googled this specific vehicle, and found a "Fully Restored" one for less than $30K...Having been in the Auto Restoration business for a number of years I can say, without a doubt, Jesse ripped this guy off BIG TIME!!!
Time for Jesse to take a loan from his wife and "Pay the Man"...

18. I know him and he is a real a-H:"> sandra is beautiful and sweet and to this day I cannot see what she see's in him. By the way his real name is Stanley james.

19. gsinca - you have one point about jesse being an axx-hole...this is true. and sandra may be beautiful, however she is NOT sweet. and if you knew jesse, you'd know his name is NOT 'stanley james'. omg! that's funny! if you know jesse, you'd know the name his 'family' calls him, and it isn't stanley. sandra is NOT what she "ACTS" in her movies. she stinks just as much as jesse does in the way she treats people in her personal life. i understand how 'jesse' sleeps at night, because he has no conscience, however how can sandra sleep at night, unless she is just so so naive and blind by jesse's manipulation, cruelness and smugness. TMZ, why don't you get in touch with me...the public can't see my email, however you can. i'll give you the real story straight from the horses mouth!

21. Typical. I would say man up, Jesse but, he can't. He won't. Look at his track record. A good man takes responsibility for his actions. Stands by his promises. What kind of man leaves his pregnant wife? The freak is a punk. I feel bad for his kids, the kind of example he is setting for them....tragic and shameful.

22. If it takes you over two years to have a car built by this man, and you don't have the actual money to do it, your a douche. He is what he is because he worked for it. Do the same and you won't have to complain.
Furthermore. If you actually had a talent, like this man, (i.e. working on your own cars and not being douches to begin with, you could do it your own damn self! Get off the damn couch and build your own car, with your kid!!!) Nuff said. Love.

28. Getagrip... GET A GRIP! She has better things to do than to sit on TMZ all day and smash a bug. Hopefully our judicial system will favor the abused and not that bitter a-hole Jesse!

29. Ahhhhhh...at last the public can see what a black hearted and liar he is! First he leaves his wife while she's pregenant for Sandra...then never visits the kid..THEN claims child abuse on his ex wife's side with hopes to getting custody after having NOTHING to do with the child........none of his family talks to him, they're all friendly with the ex Janine...and now this....stealing! Ladies and Gentleman...we've got a winner right here. ;)

30. Way to go Sita...thats my girl!!! It makes me sick to my stomach the lenghts that people go through to slam someone. Does it make you feel better to berate and drag someones name through mud? His ex-wife is an amazingwoman and if you would get your head out of your ass and see what a complete douche bag Jesse is you would see that.
