I actually had a simular expierence last saturday, well minus the time traveling honda. I was at a clients house and we got talking cars somehow. The DeLorean came up and instantlly she quoted a price around $150,000, imagine how many you could buy with that? even my neighbour has quoted values around $75,000 to $100,000. Perhapse this is the way gossip starts?
