Summary
Bobby once owned twenty-two cars. In fact, he had so many cars that he had to store them “everywhere, in my garages, friends’ and relative’s garages” (Bloch, Commuri, and Arnold 2009, 54). Bobby, as his twenty-two cars might suggest, is deeply involved in cars and auto-repair. He attributes his deep involvement to his childhood interactions with his father, who, Bobby recalls, also loved cars. When he owned the twenty-two cars, Bobby says, “My two sons were old enough to enjoy cars as well and they too were hooked” (Bloch, Commuri, and Arnold 2009, 54).
