Naturally JZD's death would be a jump start for interest in the DeLorean automobile and story. There really hasn't been anything for the media to report on in the better part of two decades on the man or the car. This is probably the single bigges thing to happen to the DeLorean saga yet, sans the first car being produced and the factory being closed. I've been driving the car all week as a nod to JZD, and the amount of attention it has recieved has been astounding. I drove it to lunch yesterday and had 20 people come of of the restaurant and swarm the car, talking about it and JZD's passing... and how incredible it was to see one out after hearing the news. I've talked to a couple other owner friends of mine this week who have had similar experiences. That's why I'm toying with inviting some media sources out to our little Charlotte get together this weekend. We may as well ride this media surge while it lasts. As unfortunate as JZD's passing is, I think it's an excellent time to push the man and the car into the spotlight in a positive way.
