[DML] Italian CarFest in Grapevine Texas

["Robert Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I went to the italian Carfest in Grapevine Texas today,
they would not let me put my car in because it is a "Italian" only show.
Which brings up a good question...
What country is our car officially from?

I mean, it was Italian designed, Irish assembled, British backed
with a Swiss/French drive train but the parent company was based in
the United States.
So when someone asks me "where is this car from?"
I am not sure what to say.
I usually go through the whole spiel....

"Well, it was built in Ireland, but the engine is Volvo based
but it was an Italian designed car...."

So does anyone know the official answer?
Is it:
(1) American
(2) Italian
(3) Irish
(4) British
(5) Swiss
(6) French
(7) Krypton

...I don't know.

I had a great time at the show, even though I couldn't park the car
inside it drew a large crowd outside the gate.
I have the doors up, flux fluxing, hoverboard hovering, and Huey Lewis
blasting... even though there were Countach's, Diablo's,
Tesstarossa's, Pantera's, Fiat's and even an Enzo Ferrari - (that is a
$1,000,000.00 car that can go 0-100 in 3 seconds).
I think there were more pictures taken of my car than any of them.

While I was walking though the crowd hundreds of feet away from my
car, I could hear people reminiscing about what they just saw...
"dude, it even had a real Flux Capacitor! That hoverboard was awesome!
Did you see the doors? Man that was cool!".

I gotta tell you, I felt really good about the car.
I even ran into the great guy who sold me the car, he was really
impressed with all the updates I have done, and people never stop
telling me how great those new seats I got from DMCH look.
For those who know Deloreans, they always compliment Stegar's chrome
rims. They really look fantastic and stand out over the grey painted
originals. 
This was my first time at a real car show, so it was fun to sit back a
few feet and listen in to what people were saying.
It seems that about 90% of everything I heard was total BS.
It was like a crowd full of "Cliff Claven's" (the postman from CHEERS)
all being know-it-all's with each other.
I just say back and giggled as people talked about every misconception
there is about the car... then if you correct them they argue with you
so I don't bother half the time....
Most of you have already done all this but I got a kick out of it.

There is something very cool about a guy who owns a half-a-million
dollar car telling ME my car is cool.
Gotta love it.
