A customer purchased a new Ferrari sports car, and loved every bit of it...except for the clutch. He asked for a meeting with Papa Enzo Ferrari, and after numerous attempts, was granted an audience. They proceeded to have a very animated discussion about the clutch, which Enzo finally concluded by saying "the problem isn't the clutch, the problem is the driver."
Who was the unhappy customer -- and what did he do next?
Easy, peasey! But I thought it was, "Stick to making tractors and let me make sportscars", or words to that effect. The target? Ferruccio Lamborghini, of course.
there's a niche market for Lamborghini tractors with nice examples going for $20k-$30k
