Varley and Woods, a couple car making guys who seemed to never get things right, and went bankrupt a couple times, in the same year

They were running on credit, but didn't sell enough, or deliver... whatever. Point is, they were shut down when the police locked up their shop, with the parts and machinery

So, they took a big truck, busted down the back wall, emptied the place of everything of value, and left a dirty floor and a new opening to the back alley

They tried again... and failed again.

So, Varley finally gave up on making cars, and drove an ice cream delivery trike, and Woods went back to traveling... and was ate by a lion.
