Lawrence Donegan is in California in pursuit of the new American Dream - hi-tech success and fortune. But after one miserable day in front of a computer screen, he asks himself if this is really it - a walk-on part in "The Revenge of the Nerds"? Searching for salvation, he winds up at Orchard Boulevard Pre-Owned Autos - home of the world's biggest used-car lot. Seven thousand cars on offer every day, forty-five thousand satisfied customers every year, all on one street! "California Dreaming" is the story of Donegan's life as a used-car salesman and his pursuit of the used-car industry's Oscar - the Salesman of the Month Award. It is also the story of men and their dreams: Frankie the Rock, Tony the Tank, Mickey the Legend. Who are they? What drew them to the world's most maligned profession? Is there nothing they won't do to sell a car? Honest, insightful and funny, "California Dreaming" tells you everything you need to know about modern America. It may change the way you feel about used-car salesmen. Then again, it may not.
