BTTF did nothing to make me buy my Delorean either. I was 10 in 1981 
and i still remember watching the commercials on our old console Zenith 
TV, i wanted one when i got older. When i was 16 i got a job at an auto 
parts store and delivered parts to a guy that worked on Harry 
Kaufmann's  (Harry's Toy Store) cars and saw a bunch of Deloreans he 
was working on, i never thought about BTTF when i saw the cars but i 
wanted one when i got older. About 4+ years ago i was looking for a 
BTTF poster and saw a Delorean for sale on EBay and realized i could 
afford one and the rest is history.

I know people that never saw BTTF and know what a Delorean is.
