Yeah, my tongue was in my cheek on that one. Most of the people my age 
and younger are blithering idiots. No wonder I'm single. LOL

Well, I was raised to be older, I guess. The youngest of three children 
born to older parents (unlike most folks my age, both of them are in 
their 60s and retired or semi-retired), I was taught to take things 
seriously, but not too seriously. Among the things to take seriously: 
goals, financial and otherwise. I was lectured a lot of setting 
realistic goals and how to achieve them, and to have a backup plan ready 
in case the first one fails. I also had a lot of good role models. And 
instead of forcing me into t-ball and soccer and stuff, my parents let 
me pick what I wanted to do, which was daydreaming and reading and 
music. Go figure -- I didn't want to get a job until I had to. LOL

The DMC owners seem to have a more mature outlook on life, and are far 
more realistic than other people. I suppose dealing with 20+ year old 
cars has something to do with it. Louie, for example, though younger 
than I am, has a good perspective on life, and knows what to expect from 
an old car. I cringe sometimes when some young thing pops up and says 
something along the lines of "o i luv delorean they are so cooool moms 
buying me one for xmas!" ... I have the urge to say "You have no idea 
what you're getting involved in. Get an education, and then a job, and 
then a little life under your belt, and preferably another car ..." but 
I don't want to ruin the party. You're only young once. I was, and I got 
over it. LOL

Rich, I owe you a beer, I think. Maybe after I get my DeLorean, we can 
share nightmare stories, along with Bill "Valdez" Robertson. :)
