Sorry I'm a day late (and a dollar short), but if anyone gives a rat's 
ass about my cherry D experience, here goes:

I wanted a Delorean from the first moment I saw a prototype on TV 
and in print ads.  I've always been a car lover and always drove 
something unconventional with a particular love for Brit sports cars.  
Cut to summer 1998 when I was bored and freezing in a summer 
house on Skagit Bay in Washington State.  I started surfing for 
Deloreans, reading everything I could.  Found Knut's website and 
was mesmerized.  I started thinking about buying one, rationalized 
and vacillated for  6 more years, until an old High School friend sent 
me a photo of me in college sitting in the MGA I used to drive.  That 
just put me over the edge and I started seriously looking.

It was at the Barret-Jackson Auction in Phoenix in 2003 that I first 
saw a D up close.  It literally took my breath away.  The car was in 
the viewing area just before it went up on the block, wings aloft and 
inviting lookers.  Only a few people were interested so I got to poke 
around inside.  Really had to rivet myself to the ground to keep from 
draping myself on the driver's seat and making "VROOM VROOM" 
sounds and telling everyone "this one's mine."  I still had homework 
to do and remembered that I had only came to look.

I first sat in a D when I started seriously looking and found one here 
in Tucson.  The owner was supposed to meet me at his house but he 
wasn't home.  He left it unlocked for me so I finally got to sit in a D 
and I'll tell you all - if I were a guy I would have had a woodie.  The 
car turned out to be  in really bad shape and I didn't buy that one.   
Most of you know the story of me buying Sean's car instead.

And I must say every time I open the door and sit in mine - or even 
just  look at it -  it still takes my breath away.  The rumble of the 
engine when I turn the key gives me an adrenalin rush that's 
indescribable.  I can't help but smile!
