I'm guessing if they don't have a website then chances are there not around anymore and I also have heard some bad things about them

They should have shut down their site a long time ago. The business fell apart when Donna and her husband got divorced then they never shut the site down.

Yeah he was having major financial trouble before they got divorced so odds are things got worse after she split.

oye vei...ok let me set some things straight....1. Kenny my ex...was never my husband, we were never married. 2. i never worked for the company...i just helped him out with customers to make things run smooth. 3. kenny and i split up last december. i met someone new...we are engaged. 4. i sold my show car because of a few money issues (mainly because money was owed to me and to make sure i paid off everything prior to getting married i sold my daily driver and my show car. 5. the cobalt was my car, which i paid for. it was not owned by cobalt addiction and never was...it was always my vehicle. 6. i sold that car about 3 months ago. the new owner was not a car person and got in way over his head. his wife forced him to sell it because he took out a huge loan for it and it was not practical. it did finally pass inspection in VA. 7. My fiance and myself have bought ourselves new cars and NO we do not plan on opening any business that pertains to genesis'. the business was always ran by kenny (my ex) ...
and finally 8. cobalt addiction is still around. kenny is going through some tough times but is still trying to get orders placed and product out. he is working alone...without me now to help him on this end of things...we dont really talk mainly because we have moved on and its too painful,

if you have any other questions,...ask, i will be honest with you. but OMG the stories i just read...where the hell do you people get all this false information. LOL

we get our stories from all the threads that were and are posted about CA because people weren't receiving parts and no got emails returned or phone calls answered and i know that there are still people that have been waiting months for stuff they ordered. sorry about getting the divorce split up situation wrong haha. but thanks for clearing all that up. didnt know you still came on the site.
