California Cobra is Shutting it's Doors

[Want1Bad]

I spoke with Armond yesterday. I hope I'm not talking out of school, but he's decided to hang it up and spend more time with his kids. Miguel is going to work at a mustang shop making $150,000 mustangs! Bottom line for Armond, he wasn't enjoying the ride. He loves the cars, loves the people, but there were aspects of the business he was not enjoying. I asked him about about something he was working on for me and he stated that he would not be leaving anyone hanging out to dry. I believe he is referring to work in progress, however; not future warranty work. I, too, picked up my BDR recently (November) and am concerned about warranty work. Since Smeding built the engine, I expect that for big engine issues will I talk to them. But for the BDR stuff, I guess I'm talking to Reg and co. For local maintenance, I've been checking around San Diego County and found Hot Rods and Custom Stuff in Escondido (www.hotrodscustomstuff.com). I'll be checking them out and will report back.

On a similar note, has anyone been to the BDR site and checked out the "dealers" -- almost empty now. Four dealers -- all east. Hmmm.

Anyway. That's all I've got to report. Hope it answers some of the questions.
