Thibodaux, La – Yesterday, the Auto Center on the corner of Jackson and St. Mary sold its first vehicle since the Clinton administration. This news surprised local residents, as many assumed this iconic bayou landmark was some sort of automotive museum or elaborate piece of performance art. A couple of residents were vaguely aware that this business, simply labeled as “Auto Center,” occasionally conducted mechanical repairs, but even fewer knew that it was an actual, functioning dealership.

The Auto Center’s first sale of the 21^st century was a mint condition 1992 Geo Prism which sold for $3,600.
