Re: [DMCForum] Re: JZD & Bricklin

["Avi Sarfaraz" <asarfaraz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My direct friends and schoolmates taunted me for it, but bystanders and just 
people enjoyed it very much, locally I was known as the Delorean Kid.

The Engine was the big deal with the people, but the Delorean was more 
reliable than our old ford focus..POS!!!!

Anyways, I loved the car for all it was worth, and for 12.5k with a Delorean 
that only needed minor cosmetics (interior work mostly, but still straight 
and nice enough to drive) hell it was a dream..and maybe If luck is in my 
corner, maybe I will get another one someday.

I would want one just like my old one, save for a few addons,

The 1981 Early with Gas Flap and grooved hood, maybe a Auto again (It is a 
slow car in comparison with today's models) and black leather 
interiror...with a thick sidestripe, I really do want another, just my life 
doesn't allow me to go out and buy one...life is shitty for me anyways as of 
the past 3 years. Maybe after college.
