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! --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Videobob Moseley" <videobob@xxxx> wrote: > > Yes, true.. people frequently ask "how fast does it go?" > My new favorite reply is: > "I don't know, I'm afraid to go that fast, it gets hard to see and I begin > to blackout" > > I do know it goes 106 because I have the pink slip to prove it, > but I have had mine at 117 myself using my Garmin GPS to track my speed. > > Stephen Wynne told me he had his black car pegged to 140. > > Top speed is not my concern, it's the quick take off's and mid speed > acceleration > that matters most to me. > I want to be be able to go from a 60MPH cruise to a 100MPH bolt. > > - Videobob > > >From: "DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx> > >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > >To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > >Subject: RE: [DML] a humble opinion > >Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 10:06:51 -0500 > > > > > > > >You are 100% correct; but as you know one of the most common questions from > >the general public is: "How fast can it go!"
