Hi list, I've owned my DeLorean about 5 months now, I still can't believe the huge attention it gets, and of course the same jokes over and over! I like when people come up to me and talk about the car, at the gas station or the dunkin donuts, but I suppose the same bad jokes over and over does get a bit much, although I try and pretend I think they're funny anyway out of politeness or something... Most common comments I get shouted at me while driving, Hey Marty!, hey where's the flux capacitor, hey back to the future!!, hey 1.21 jigawatts, etc. Last night was probably the most comments I ever got, after leaving the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert here in Boston, and then driving past a crowd of a few thousand drunks, it was something else!! Of course it doesn't help matters that my licence plate reads "MCFLY" so I suppose I'm just asking for it :) Just rolled over 20,000 miles since new last night, still running A1. Thats 8000 almost trouble free miles since I got the car 5 months ago. Who says a DeLorean isn't a reliable daily driver??! All the best, John Dore, VIN#3810, Boston, MA. --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "aaron_t_graham" <aaron_t_graham@xxxx> wrote: > > If I hear one more flux capacitor joke from the general public I > think > > I will scream ... > > Congrats on your new D!
