California drought continues to dry up car sales

California Governor Jerry Brown's new edict for restricting water use in his drought stricken state is expected to hit automotive dealerships there harder than ever, and isn't just about keeping vehicles on the lot "clean and shiny," although many dealers have been using recycled water for a long time. It is more about the fact that consumers in many of the agricultural parts no longer have enough disposable income to purchase new vehicles, and it is expected to get worse now that Brown's order requires the State Water Resources Control Board to reduce the water usage of California's 400 local water supply agencies by 25% compared to levels 2 years ago.
