Dan - 

Interesting bit of trivia here...  Did you know that back in 1981 Taco Bell 
was actually giving away Deloreans?  REAL ones, not toy plastic cars (McDonalds 
did that for a Back To The Future tie-in.)  Several of them were given away 
as prizes in a scratch off ticket game.  Among the major prizes offered was a 
Delorean, or $25,000 instead of the car.  Don't know how many, if any, of the 
cars were actually given away - does anyone else out there know more on this?  
It was my very first exposure to the car, and then I saw one at the Miami, FL 
dealer, Warren Henry Volvo, a few weeks later while car shopping with my mom.  
She looked at the Volvos, eventually bought a Ford :-(
