Officially, as of this morning I am a parts manager of the newest Mitsubishi Dealership in America.
I was carrying mail, but health issues have caused me to retire from that.
Fortunately, the old Dodge dealer I was working for needed someone to help out and took me back. They lost their dealership back in 2009 during the bankruptcy. Pretty crappy thing to do to these people really.
I'm not wired to sit back and do very little, even though that all that was expected of me, the GM and myself found a franchise opportunity and jumped on it.
We have been working on this since September, this morning finally it all was official. Within an hour of the phone call, I had the delivery driver standing here wanting to know where and how to get in with parts.
This place had been a Dodge dealer since the 60's, the family that owns it now has had it since the 70's. Even though we lost the dealership, we were still getting a lot of Mopar people in here and everyone knows this place as "Joe Kidd Dodge".
It'll be sad to see the last of the Dodge stuff go away, as I write this, painters are repainting the walls and over the "Viper Red" paint. I took the mopar posters down for the painters, I don't think they'll go back up.
The GM and I are both Mopar guys, we're thinking of having a car show this summer in memorial of the of old Dodge dealership.
That being said, anyone need Mitsubishi parts?
