The commentary from Sport05 is spot on. The departure from the traditional profit centers with new management around 2007-2008 killed the company. Blame was placed on the economic downturn, but it was in fact the ignorance of the then CEO and his inferior management team, and CFO, brought in from other companies. The reason they were then running a 9 branch $90M dealership, is because they had started with a 25 branch, $250M dealership. Holding full day meetings on the benefits and use of LinkedIn is an example of the pathetic management style exhibited. They will continue to reap what they sow.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
