A rainy day guide for car nuts

Car Nuts are a special breed. Every weekend is seen as an opportunity to work on their vehicle, or go to a car show. Unfortunately, everyday chores get in the way. But, once all the household chores are complete (maybe even before) the thoughts have already drifted to their automotive delight, working on their vehicle, or viewing many of them in local park car show or dealership event. Yes, the mind of the Car Nut is focused on spending time with their machine, or time admiring the machines of others as soon as possible. In fact, the chores may have to wait as a whole.

Sadly, poor weather happens. If you want to see a Car Nut looking melancholy, or downright angry, mention to them that rain is forecasted all weekend long. Tell them it's going to poor and be miserable outside until the beginning of the work week. Watch the eyes for tears.

You see, the Car Nut is passionate. Some people are passionate about sports or crafts. Car Nuts are passionate about the auto industry. As passionate people, they get their fix from spending time, often on the weekends, with the metal in the garage, or the metal in other people's garages, or at the local car show. Should a bad weather event roll into the area on the weekend... Well then, it's seen as having the joy stolen, or having a bubble burst. Their planned activity is a bust and they are forced to come up with indoor alternatives.
