Welcome

Welcome to Compression Ignition.

This blog is an homage to the stories, lessons, and tribulations of a life in car sales. If you are familiar with cars, you'll recognize that compression ignition is how diesel motors work; fuel is literally squeezed as hard as it can (sometimes up to 21,000 psi)  before exploding to power the engine.

If you're familiar with car sales, you know how that can relate. We work in one of the most stressful professions during one of the most stressful times in American business history. We have a code. We work under pressure; pressure from our families, wives, girlfriends, managers, and each other. It's dog eat dog out there.

This is a small glimpse into our world. You might read something that you don't agree with, and that's fine. You may not agree with it, but it's real. Our world can be cruel, but it can also be very rewarding. My stories will run the gamut.

I hope you enjoy what you read, and if anything, I hope that you think of us a little bit differently.
