Mq,

If you won't accept granite counters you probably can't live in California. It may have all of those poor qualities, but it is seen as proving you having arrived in yuppieville, so there you have it. I have very cheap formica counters which are functional as well as homely (in an ugly sense), but then I haven't arrived in yuppieville.

Drygulch Dan insists that boats are the only way to live now that he has foresaken the desert and his precious mule. I suspect he is presently dodging hurricanes in the Caribbean.

Funny you should mention a 3 yr old Lexus. I stumbled into buying one a couple of years ago because a friend gave me a deal on it when I was looking to buy a car. It's been great, knock on wood, although it wasn't what I had been expecting to buy.

Right now,in southern Cal it's a buyers market for high end used cars. The now unemployed mortgage brokers, among other high rollers, are now hitching rides and walking.
