The DeLorean community is full of exceptionally nice people. I love to show my car at car shows and get parked next to a Porsche or Ferrari and watch the reactions of those owners when young and old come up and "ooo and aahhh" over the DeLorean and almost ignore their cars. One of my real joys is to have a family come by with their young boy or girl and watch the smile on the child's face (and the parents') when I offer to let the child sit behind the wheel and let Mom or Dad take their picture. It seems to me that I have just made another future owner to keep the marque alive. The Dream Lives - and, - - I'm happy to Live the Dream.
