[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 1138714, member: 18471"] I thought investment in buildings, feeder tractors, trailers (and they've gotten a [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]load of 53ft trailers and containers), and package cars were investments in the business. Capital expenditures and written off over a period of years, (depreciation). As far as trying to make a comparison to the GM of old, wasn't there a certain amount of mismanagement, such as Saturn, "a new kind of car, a new car company" or something like that. Saturn NEVER made a profit. None of the US car manufacturers anticipated the gas shortages of the 70's which is where the "foreign" manufacturers got their foothold in the US markets. The quality of US cars SUCKED. Sometimes they still do, by comparison to the 2 Toyotas I bought which were relatively trouble free for 140K miles, I've had more problems with my Jeep in 75K. [/QUOTE]
