That is definitely one of the most frequently asked questions when I
am at the gas station, parking lot, stopped at a light, yeah
basically any where I go!
That and how much did you pay?
I always tell them what they want to hear, I think that is part of
the allure to the car. One, there really aren't that many left and
your average Joe doesn't really know a lot about them. Second, they
still to this day are just so futurist looking and just beg for
attention.
But the thing I like the most is when people try to tell me about my
car. "Hey do you know you have a DeLorean?" Oh really is that what
I am driving? ha ha ha. I love it.
Does anyone else have that happen to them? And most of the times
people, who are not DeLorean enthusiast, don't know the facts and
are so misinformed it laughable.
Then I go into DeLorean Mode and rattle off the stats of the car and
design and lay out. It's great because their jaw drops, because I
am a woman and a young one at that! But I love showing her off to
interested parties.
I definitely got the D Fever!
