End of an era
Seems all good things come to an end. Such is life. Congrats on your success in the past and happy to hear you're the GM in Sep. That means you're THE MAN, as before 
So we can't send you GMPP business for C6/C7 owners your way after Aug 19. That business decision by new owner T/A Rimrock is unfortunate for CF members.
Good luck to you and thnx for the years of excellent service that you offered to C5, et al owners.

This is an exciting time here at our dealership.
The new owner is investing heavily in the growth of the dealership.
I am excited to be here as their General Manager.
We hope that we are able to get some additional allocations.
As stated, I will continue to be very active here in the forum and will continue to share my passion for Corvettes!! And yes, they will be a supporting dealer!
Remember, we were the first Supporting Dealer!!

Ken - I'm sure it was a very difficult decision to sell the dealership, but it's great news that you will be the GM for the new owners. Thanks for all you have done for the Corvette faithful over the years and best of luck in your new role.

Update
The GOOD news -
New Dealership owner will continue to offer GMPP effective Sep 2014 via the OP.
The BAD news -
Cannot buy GMPP for C5 anymore.
but you or a friend may want GMPP for the C6/7 down the road at a good price.

Fichtner Chevrolet – NEW Breaking News – August 15!
A few days ago we announced to all of you the sale of our family owned dealership.
I want to clarify a couple of things and share an important announcement!
The dealership owners are Ken and Leonard Fichtner.
Ken is the dealer and Leonard is the president of the company.
Ken will continue as the General Manager.
The sales and parts professionals that you have contacted here will also continue!
BREAKING NEWS – IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
The new owner has agreed to allow us to continue to market and sell the GM Protection Plan and the Chevrolet Care Plan!
We will continue to serve the needs of our customers by offering competitive pricing and an increased allocation of Corvette Stingrays, discounted Corvette parts and accessories, and discounted protection plans!
After August 20, 2014:
Please contact Kathy Fichtner for your Stingray purchases, Ken Fichtner for GMPP and Chevrolet Care, and Bob Wendorff or Tom Dorsey for parts and accessories!
ADDITIONAL COMMENT:
Dennis Fichtner is no longer affiliated with Fichtner Chevrolet and has not been offered a position with Rimrock Chevrolet.
We have evidence that Dennis has removed customer names and files from the dealership and will attempt to use this information for his personal gain and that of another dealership.
Further we have evidence that Dennis has told customers who have called our dealership that he can be reached by email or phone and that his new employer will allow him to assist them.
This is in direct violation of a number of regulations and a signed agreement with our dealership.
I regret having to post this but hope that our customers will continue to do business with us!
