    Sorry for the mediocre quality on that last one. It's a scan of a real photo printed at the event and might just be my favorite picture from a car show ever.
    OK, I'll ask - what's the connection between the DeLorean and Korea?

    I'm the same way with my car and it's great when you can find a show like that! I've only been to 1 show this year where I've left without a single fingerprint on the car. It was a show put on by several area Boy Scout troupes. Very respectful crowd (not to mention that 1798 won best of show - first trophy ever)!

    Very valid question. Not sure there was one, other than it was something cool to have at a nice outdoor festival. One of our local owners (not in the picture, but his car is the one with the wide side stripe) is Korean and his wife was working on the event, hence the invitation.

    I've noticed here in Atlanta that Koreans are very knowledgeable about the car/BTTF whereas other Asians such as Chinese and Indians have no idea about it. Must be a strong movie culture n Korea.

    I don't always drive cars, but when I do, I prefer DeLoreans

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    I was wondering that too Jon, but I figured it had to do with Ryan's connection and wanting to be cool. Sorry I couldnt make it I was SO tired after working through friday night to 4 am at work, what makes it worse is that it all ended up to be for nothing....

    I got a few ideas for a swap....

    Love it! Thanks for posting! That's me on the far right looking way too excited to be in a mock wedding. Had a great time this past weekend, always fun to hang out with you guys! Thanks Ryan (RacerX) for organizing!

    Lots of fun for sure. We should find a good Korean restaurant we can all get to easily and experiment a little more with the food.

    South Koreans LOVE cinema and have a very vibrant domestic industry. I'm a huge fan/follower of the South Korean film industry. For dramas and romantic comedies, South Korean films in these genres are currently second to none and put Hollywood's efforts to shame. They were also starting to get into sci-fi and horror productions, but the global recession slowed down their push into these genres.

    Speaking of South Korean films, the new Spike Lee movie "Oldboy" is a remake of a South Korean classic from 2003. Saw the original a couple years ago, solid film. Not usually a fan of Spike Lee, but I'll have to check out the remake.
