Ken and Ed are old school straight shooters, the kind of guys you can't find any more. I needed to take a driver's test in a car with a interlock, so I had to buy one. Without a license. Ken worked with me through about three weeks of DMV nonsense, bank nonsense and grumpy GF nonsense to get the deal done.
