State Farm erected some Chinese Theatre-style installations above a busy local car wash on Sunset Blvd. The vibe is very Mao meets car salesman. Overhead, banners read, “Experience peace of drive.”
Hrrm. Going Zen behind the wheel is cool while your car’s getting sudsy, but it’s a fine line between clearing your mind and falling asleep while in transit. Though if a meditative trance does guide you to someone else’s bumper, I have no doubt State Farm will appear at your side, genie-style, with a smile and a very big abacus.
