Next GM Pickups Might Go Carbon Fiber
Posted by Mark Williams | December 7, 2017
Next GM Pickups Might Go Carbon Fiber - PickupTrucks.com News

Quote:
According to the Wall Street Journal (subscription required), GM is going to use carbon fiber for the truck bed on certain premium-level vehicles to save weight, which will provide better fuel economy. It also will provide more strength per square inch than aluminum...............

Less than 20 years ago, GM invested in fully composite pickup beds with horrible results..........

When GM Couldn’t Think Outside The Box: Remembering Pro-Tec

By Jack Baruth on August 13, 2011
When GM Couldn't Think Outside The Box: Remembering Pro-Tec - The Truth About Cars


Quote:
As a former Ford salesman, I can reinforce Corbett’s guess here. Selling an aftermarket bedliner was worth $50 to us. Selling an $850 factory option was usually worth absolutely nothing to the guys on the proverbial front line................

The Pro-Tec option lasted two model years before disappearing from the order sheets. Total volume was about 10,000, meaning that GM lost tens of millions of dollars on the operation.
2001-2003?

Banks can only loan money that they have under assets. In order to keep assets under management to loan out for a higher rate of return, banks began to use certificates of deposits to entice customers to leave their money in the bank for long durations of time. The interest paid is the cost of being able to loan the money out. It wasn't until 1961 that a fixed rate time certificate was established. [/img]
I was kidding, guys.
