This is a custom art piece my wife had commissioned for me as a Christmas gift. The artist is a buddy of mine, and plans to sell prints soon.

I guess I'm the oddball out!, the minority group, etc.... haha! I really don't keep up on the science fiction stuff. Definitely cool, but I'm not an avid fan I guess. I think I'm one of the few that loved Deloreans for being a Delorean and not because of BTTF, etc. I loved the Delorean when it came out, long before the BTTF hype. Don't get me wrong, I love BTTF too! I have to be honest that it's Delorean that got me into the movie, and not the movie that got me into Deloreans. Either way, it's all cool stuff and I've met some great people because of all of this!

Nothing wrong with that. I too have my car because of "the car" and not "the movie".
I am just surprised as you infer that you are young (or "younger"), with all the current pop culture surround Dr Who (more so today than 30 years ago I would say) that you wouldn't recognize the Tardis.

I'm definitely not younger. When I clicked on the first link in the search it said that TARDIS was first conceptualized in 1963. I didn't have time at that moment to read the whole thing and I thought this was mainly from the 60's which is before my time. I had no idea that this was still running today.
I know I'm going to get flamed for this (flame suit on), but I have honestly never heard of TARDIS until this thread! Reading online, it looks like it originated in Britain? I assume it's really well known in the UK, but is it also as popular in the US? I never have heard anyone here even talking about it. Maybe I'm not hanging out with the right people!?? haha!

Doctor Who is steadily gaining popularity in the US. You can find it on BBC America during the broadcast cycle (being in Canada, I have no idea if they rerun them in a regular loop on weekends, nights, etc...) The entire revived series up to Christmas 2014 is also on netflix (and will apparently stay for now).
I'm also a Car before Movie owner, so I like to mention the TARDIS when I'm approached with time travel comments. If I get puzzled looks, I just show them my keychain.
