I dont think they failed. business purchase plans have a bailout plan
prompted by math results. marriages have the same they call them
Prenumptuals however the prompts are mostly social.

I'm surprised they closed, thought the building/land purchase was to
service epa compliancy market and WL was just a perk.

The free TV give away to retro owners was the first sign of marketing
in unknown territory. Give a set of golf clubs to a fleet manager
and FM buys 15 engine repowers for the Company or transit agency he
works for.. Give a TV to Vintage bus owner and they ask for an extra
remote.
