FWIW,

I met Tim Gunning in 1998-99, sometime back then. After analyzing the cobra market, I had decided to purchase a Hi-tech car, so, just to be safe, I flew out to phoenix to view the business. They were in the process of moving to a new building, I think smaller one, and after talking to Tim, he kept re-assuring me that his business was Ok, and he would gladly accept a down payment/deposit for a roller. Something gave me a bad feeling, so even though I wanted my cobra bad, I decided to wait. As it turned out, a great decision. He closed up shop shortly after, and from what I have read, he stiffed many people for partially completed cars/deposits.

Now, Gunning is running sagebush. Maybe history is repeating itself.
