This has to be a spoof article!
Not only does the single male now have to pay out the nose for a good meal, they can have their date admire cars much nicer than the one they were driven there in.
I think someone at UCSD can write a sociology paper on this one.

Jim JonesParticipant[quote=NewtoSanDiego]Well, out of curiousity I stopped by the dealership last weekend. It was a surreal experience to say the least!
In the parking lot, before I even turn off the engine of my car there were 4 salesman and 1 saleswoman surrounding my car. One of them even went so far as to open my door and proclaim “Welcome to the Greatest Lexus Dealership in the world, how can I help you!” I was a bit taken aback!
It looked like the the normal car saleman ettiquette of rotating new customer contacts between salesman had taken a back seat to dog-eat-dog survival instincts……run…that is my customer!!! My commission! I need to put food on the table
Needless to say, I went with the pretty blond saleswoman.
We struck up a nice conversation, talked about the weather, my dreams, goals and what my timeframe was for a new vehicle purchase.
Inside, I’ve never seen any dealership like it before. In one corner was a japanese bonsai forest and rock garden, a tranquil stream flowed gently over what looked like Japanese river rocks that came from Shinjuku prefecture.
In the other corner, was what looked like a full service spa with 4 to 5 stations, in front of each a sign, “Shiatsu”, “Foot Therapy”, etc.
The saleswoman told me they like to make their customers comfortable and suggested the foot massage. I was floored!
So get this! I sit down and heavy set woman appears out of nowhere and and proceeds to take off my shoes and socks. While she kneads my calfs and feet, the saleswoman continues her pitch. I am offered tea, coffee, danish, doughnuts and even a small plate of sushi from their on-site sushi chef! Wow!
Anyway, I was pretty impressed overall. Just some wanted to relay some of my thoughts
Thanks,

rwsinmissionshills recommended this book which I got as gifts for my relatives.Gardening in Southern California is different from other places. You need to prepare the soil in advance of planting.
I do think that gardening is a lost art. People find it easier to to go the supermarket.

I got the book in the mail last week. Its an excellent month by month guide of what to put in the ground and when.
