The great California garage sale kicks off today.

The state of California, in the middle of one of the worst budget
crisis in the state's history, is hoping to make some extra money the
same way that most people do…by throwing a huge garage sale.

Except instead of a "garage" the state has a "warehouse", and
instead of just a sale the state will also auction some 650 vehicles.

"Among the vehicles are five BMW-style motorcycles, dozens of former
highway patrol cars, and an untold number of Chevy Cavaliers,
apparently California’s governmental car of choice. The governor even autographed the visors of some of those vehicles to
help move merchandise," according to the New York Times.

We’re going to have 6,000 items at this sale,” said Fred Aguiar, the
secretary of the State and Consumer Services Agency, which is
overseeing the sale. “There’s furniture, computers and office
equipment. It’s a great opportunity for Californians.”
