<VV> slide rule (No Corvair)

[Jim McLott]

I've enjoyed everyone's reminisces about slide rules (still have mine, too) but I'm surprised no one wondered "what's wrong with this picture?"  Sarah's original post said 
 
"Last night Rick and I went to Home Depot right beside the Speedway.  In front of us was a group of mechanics for the #85 Porsche team.  In there basket was a pressure treated 4 x6 board maybe about 3 feet long, 6 packages of JB Weld, some slide rules and a small plastic ribbed black hose, and some fine tooth saws."  
 
These guys were buying slide rules at HOME DEPOT???  That must be a very odd Home Depot down there in Daytona.
