Another Day in Car Land

"I'm just trying to keep it rollin'. Just taking it a one day at a time," says Soul, "but damn, 789 is a big number. It'll take you some time to count there one by one. 789. Lord! Think about all the people who losing they job!"

That's what Soul, our most experienced salesman, told me on D(ealership) Day. It was like having lightening strike five feet away from you. But we made the cut. We stayed open. I printed lots of job applications to suppliment the fresh wave of newly out of work applicants who would surely crash up against our glass doors. And they did. So, now that the earthquake has ended, things have gone back to normal. "Another day in Car Land," as our managers would say.
