A Smooth-Running, Low-Mileage, Cut-Price American Adventure.
Drawn by the lure of a six-figure salary in computing and fond memories of a low-rent rock-and-roll tour, Lawrence Donegan lands in California to pursue his own American Dream. Somewhere along the way he takes a wrong turn and ends up unemployed on Steven's Creek Boulevard, San Jose, home of the world's biggest car lot. Seven thousand cars on sale every day, forty-five thousand satisfied customers every year - on one street!
This book is part personal journey, part American adventure. It charts Donegan's career as an asphalt warrior, from the multiple rejections - "Get away from me, sleazeball" - to his pursuit of the Oscar of the used-car business, the Salesman of the Month Award. It's a brutally honest and brilliantly funny account of modern America and its most maligned tribe. It will change the way people think about used-car salesmen. Then again, it may not.
