Congrats on your new D! Unfortunately, these jokes are just 
something you're going to need to get used to. I've always been 
quite introverted, and so I consider the stares, jokes and hovering 
crowds to be one of the most annoying things about owning a D (yes, 
even more annoying than the cooling system). It's always amazed me 
how people can make back to the future jokes and laugh at themselves 
histerically, thinking you'd never heard them before. I've owned a 
daily driver Delorean for 2.5 years now. Trust me; the intrusive 
glances and sour jokes will never stop, but I've learned to deal with 
them.

You can learn things from this experience, though. For example, if 
you ever meet a movie star, you now know that you don't ask them what 
their next movie is going to be, and you don't make impressions of 
their latest character. Think of it as part of your social education.

Anyway, the next time you overhear someone bragging about how cool 
his car is because it gets lots of looks, you can rightfully 
snicker...because you know how he'd feel if he *really* owned a cool 
car.
