Stupid Delorean Comment Of the Day

[Rich_NYS]

Really, you get to talk to a DeLorean owner and you lead with "how much did you pay." You don't have a more interesting question to ask that Google can't readily answer for you? Not to mention I'm a total stranger and that's just rude.

When I first bought mine and was trailering it, I had a dude pull up & yell the same thing out his window. I said something like: "$22K....it needs a lot of work.

I usually keep an evasive answer in my back pocket, like "I paid what it cost, but I'd sell it for $100k"

I paid enough to save but only more than I needed to, but less than I should have =

Kids these days... tell them if they can remember how it's spelled to peck it into their touchscreen and read the wiki.

Here in NJ it's technically illegal to pump your own and my local Sunoco guy always asks me when I'm bringing that 'Nissan' around. Today I had it out and spoke with another customer in a well kept silver Mercedes convertible. It's great to listen to people who remember the car and watched it become reality.

Now to endure ten more cocaine jokes before I have another conversation like that.

Now to endure ten more cocaine jokes before I have another conversation like that.

But these references sometimes get fueled by media. I just came accross (yes, it just happened) the American Dad episode "DeLorean Story-An" (S04E16) and of course there was a cocaine reference in there. And a weird misinformation that doors are hard to come by. Very interesting what Seth McFarlane came up with. Anywho! I did not expect a show like American Dad to straighten the facts, but this is the stuff people watch on TV and base their questions on.

And don't get me wrong: I enjoy watching American Dad.

As an owner himself, I'm pretty sure Seth knows the actual facts and is just basing the jokes on what's popularly "known."

That's always the first question asked, in my experience.

Yep, I think this is true. I thought by myself "Man, he should know as an owner" but then also thought that he might put these ones in to get back on all the stupid comments he might have heard over the time.

Not always, but very, very often. Maybe four times out of five...
