"What made you a fan > of the DeLorean?" > it was 1982. i was 11 years old, and riding my bike to school. a guy drove by me in a delorean, and i was hooked. i have obsessed over these cars for almost 2/3 of my life. i wanted to buy one when i was in high school, but could never find one and if i had, probably wouldn't have been able to afford it. i am now working in my field of choice, and though i am by no means rich beyond belief, i can afford my toy (in winter storage for over a month.. :-( can't wait 'till april!! ). i bought her in june... it's a dream come true. people often ask me if i had wanted it ever since seeing bttf, and i always tell them that i have wanted the car long before bttf came out. just my $.02 :) mike cutting 11434 http://www.nt.net/~mcutting
