Mike, while I mostly agree with what you said on the BTTF movies (as I stated before in this thread), I perhaps can see now how many owners may want to distance the car from the movies. Someone said they have given the car a "comic book" image, and this is in some respects true. SOME (not by any means a majority) of the comments and reactions I've seen to my DeLorean and people kind of laughing and thinking it is kind of a joke car. So I can see more now why some owners are hesitant about embracing the "BTTF image" wholheartedly, although I do agree with you that ultimately, the movies have had a more positive than negative effect on the D. Personally, I think what might help the image of the DeLorean a bit is all the the 80s nostalgia going on in the U.S. recently. My area just got an "all 80s" station, and I think the car could also be fondly remembered as an 80's icon (as in the Wedding Singer). Simple Minds, Level 42, The Go Gos...and the DeLorean! Just a thought, Richard
