1) Welcome to Murika! (imagine some explosions, gun shots, bacon cooking, 3/4 naked bleach blonde women, and Tom Cruise walking in front of a door way with John Woo doves flying by)
2) Bring some
VB's
3) In Murika, cash is King; you control your money and what it gets spent on. always keep your eyes on the dealers hands (applies to more than just casino/cards) and see what he's changing. most stealerhips will change the terms of agreement/contract right under a persons nose without them noticing as they have the gift of a silver tongue, able to sell ice to polar bear as it were. stearlerships will do anything for straight cash, and there's always room to negotiate as they mark up the price on cars pretty hard over here. always know the MSRP (if buying new) or KBB (if buying used) before purchasing/viewing/kicking the tires of a vehicle you want. and always remember: dealers want your money more than you want to give it up, and they'll try to make you think this is the best deal you'll ever get for the rest of your life. personally, i take a couple copies of print outs with hand written notes showing how much lower i can get the same car for at another stealership.
4) I live in San Diego, about 1.5 hours down the coast. i've been to LA a few times now and i have no clue about West Hollywood. I'm usually either in Venice Beach, Orange County, Compton, Watts, or Long Beach.
5) if all else fails, you could pick up a 986 for pocket change.
5) we call our gun wielding maniacs Vice Presidents and/or Republicans, lmao.
