bad jokes we get... :)

["dmcjohn" <john.dore@xxxx>]

Hi list,
I've owned my DeLorean about 5 months now, I still can't believe the 
huge attention it gets, and of course the same jokes over and over! I 
like when people come up to me and talk about the car, at the gas 
station or the dunkin donuts, but I suppose the same bad jokes over 
and over does get a bit much, although I try and pretend I think 
they're funny anyway out of politeness or something...
Most common comments I get shouted at me while driving, Hey Marty!, 
hey where's the flux capacitor, hey back to the future!!, hey 1.21 
jigawatts, etc. Last night was probably the most comments I ever got, 
after leaving the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert here in Boston, and then 
driving past a crowd of a few thousand drunks, it was something else!!
Of course it doesn't help matters that my licence plate reads "MCFLY" 
so I suppose I'm just asking for it :)
Just rolled over 20,000 miles since new last night, still running A1. 
Thats 8000 almost trouble free miles since I got the car 5 months 
ago. Who says a DeLorean isn't a reliable daily driver??!
All the best,
John Dore, VIN#3810, Boston, MA.
