Those are hilarious!

Do you have one of my DeLorean Comment Bingo Cards?

I do not... but in 6 months time I've probably heard them all.

I think I chose the 24 X 36 size. Walgreens had a sale or special when I ordered it. I paid around $21 with shipping. They mail it to you, you can't get it in the store, IIRC.

People seemed to ignore the FAQs on letter size paper that I would put on my windshield, but they are really drawn to the framed poster. I'll snap a picture of it in my drivers seat later tonight.

How big a poster did you make?

Remember to bring a gun...2 hours in the show you will want to blow your brains out.

S**t, isn't that the truth!?! I also reccomend a can of MACE!

Don't be too discouraged by the headache pills/blow your brains out comments. While there is definitely some truth in those statements, I generally enjoy taking my car to shows and seeing the smile that it brings to most people's faces. Ive met a lot of other nice classic car owners too and learned a lot about other types of cars besides Deloreans.

I usually bring a couple of hotwheels deloreans to give to any kids that really show an interest in the car. It's amazing how a $1 toy will totally make their day.

The Hot Wheels toy is a great idea, if you can find 'em...

Here's some good FAQ/Spec sheets: http://www.ohiodeloreans.com/gallery-Fact%20Sheet.htm

I had one made into a poster at Walgreens, framed it, and leave it on the drivers seat at car shows. It cuts down on the questions, and keeps people from jumping into the drivers seat.

Be ready for lame jokes. Some people use jokes as a way to open a coversation. Others use jokes because they don't think anything of your car.

Eddie,

The poster was awesome... I printed the parger size and mounted it to foamcore and put it on the driver's seat. It headed off some of the stupid questions and I even heard a few, "...I didn't know that."

Thanks again. Made me go from just some guy in the parking lot to an actual exhibiter. I will recomend it to others.

BTW you can read more indepth about the experience here if you want... http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?58...3958#post13958

How big did you print the fact sheet? 18x26?

[stevedmc]

I brought a bunch of fact sheets with me to the last British car show in New Orleans and placed them on the windshield. To my suprise no one took them.

After a while I decided to ad a "Take one" sign with an arrow pointing to the fact sheets. They started flying off the car like hot cakes.

Each one of the fact sheets also had my entry number written in the corner of them. This helped people remember who's car to cast their vote for. If it hadn't been for them remembering my car, Farrar probably would have placed higher than me.

Don't worry; I will definitely not win anything next year.
