[DML] Re: Gold Delorean in Snyder, Texas

["dom1172" <dom_diaz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The car actually has 6.9 miles. More details will be in the DCS 
article. The pics that don't make it in the magazine will probably go 
to Tamir for posting, if he wants them.

the bank would be closed - this time, it was a Friday).

really excited. I walked in to the bank (it was nice - very big 
lobby) and looked around for the car.  In the middle, there was a 
platform, with glass walls, but it was empty.  I really couldn't tell 
if this is where the car should be or not.  I kept looking around, 
but was starting to get some stares... ( I guess an out-of-towner 
standing in the bank looking all around looked kinda suspicious).  So 
I asked the nice lady behind the counter:

Delorean) recently sold the bank and retired to California, taking 
the car with them.  She said it was quite a site to see the car being 
rolled out of the bank - they had to remove the bank doors and slowly 
wheeled it on the trailer.  According to her, the car had no miles, 
never had gas in it, or oil.
