He sold the 2-stroke models. His exact quote was "If I had been able to get a Volvo dealership or something, I probably would still be selling cars."
Then he told a funny story about selling what must have been a 96 or something to this upper-crust lady who couldn't be bothered to mix oil into the gas. She called a week later saying the car had died. Kurt got his tow truck driver and went out and got the car. "When we opened the hood, we saw what looked like a meteorite smouldering where the engine should be", he said. He went on to tell about how they brought the car in, nabbed another engine from a different car that was in for repairs, and re-stamped the serial numbers on the engine blocks to hide the switch.
