Re: [DML] Re: Conversion question; was BTTF conversion vin 01305. :(

However I see the point in your opinion, I think that it is not  
possible to divide the Delorean and the BTTF. And if you can not get  
rid of it, you have to live with it, like it or not. There is a saying:
"When you are a prostitute, don't be surprised if you are getting  
fucked." Owning a Delorean and hating BTTF is the same.

BTW as I see the BTTF jokes are only asked when the enquirer wants to  
make contact with you. After the first "Where is the flux capacitor?"  
joke, the next is mostly about the engine, the parts-availability,  
fuel consumption and other normal things.

So don't be angry with it! People like the car itself, they just know  
it from a movie and not because they generally love cars. This is not  
such a big problem.

Bob Brandys' Las Vegas show will be amazing. I wish, I could be there...
