[DML] Re: Repect

["Louie" <louie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with everything that has been written on the subject. There 
should be protocol for this event because JZD was a classy man, and 
his family and friends deserve nothing short of that in their time of 
grief. At the same time we shouldn't lose sight of the type of man 
JZD was in life: he was a flamboyant, over the top, dramatic, movie 
star type person. I am certain that a large group of DeLorean owners 
showing up at his wake would be just the sort of thing he would have 
appreciated. In life he did everything with the utmost style and 
flash, and I'm sure in death he'd want it the same way. So yes, if 
you want to attend this event and you have the means to go 
(especially in your car) then I think it's not only appropriate, it's 
something we almost owe this man for dedicating his life to these 
automobiles each of us enjoy so much. Look what he went through the 
last 23 years because of the DMC-12... we owe him some sort of nod.

all know there are some who don't have the social sensibilty to "get 
it" so lets make it clear.   It would be crass to make it into a 
rally, crusin' trip,  make-shift car show, loud pumping stereos 
blaring etc.... it's not the time or place.   Wear a suit and not T-
Shirts, jeans, baseball hats etc........lets show the world that 
DeLorean owners are class people especially in times like these.  
There will most likely be T.V. crews there.  Don't embarrass the 
family or our community by being stupid and thoughtless.   We can all 
go crazy in 2006 in Chicago and express ourselves more with tributes 
and such.

about.   Maybe we should appoint someone to "thump" anyone who acts 
stupid!!!  Just a thought.  Pass on the good wishes for all of us who 
can't make it.
