For the second time in six months, I spotted an exotic Italian car in the parking lot of a local home-improvement store. The first time, it was a Ferrari 246 Dino GT at the Home Depot in Bellevue; this time, it was a Maserati in Mount Vernon. When I saw the Dino, I thought "this is probably the worst vehicle to take to a home improvement store. It won't hold a sheet of plywood; it'll hardly hold a box of screws!" When the phenomenon repeated itself last week with the Maserati, I was forced to wonder if there was a connection. I think I've figured it out:
Guys who go to Lowe's and Home Depot probably enjoy tinkering on their homes, and anyone who owns a vintage Italian exotic car must also be handy with the repairs. A tinkerer is a tinkerer, whether working on a leaky toilet or an out-of-sync carb?
