First, a back story: This happened last Saturday about 11pm. My friend Josh and I went to Ralph's, and he ran in while I stayed in the car and popped the door for ventilation. About a minute later, a large white van pulled into a spot behind me and as soon as the door opened I heard loud drunken slurring. Crap. At this point I had a decision to make: do I close the door and draw attention to myself? or sit still and hope no one sees me? So I kept the door open and waited. And Drunk Guy saw me.
DG: No way...no way! No way! No way... *stumbles over*
Me: Yeah. I'm real.
DG: (mumbling) no way...no way... *starts petting car*
(Josh walks up)
DG: *looking at josh* NO WAY! *looks back at me* Why...why are you HERE?!
Me: We're supposed to tell you that whatever you're doing next, you probably shouldn't do.
Josh: Actually, we're a little late. We were supposed to tell you not to get drunk.
DG: LIAR! This...was a GREAT idea! (starts to wander off, I close the door)
Me: That was weird.
DG: *leaning through cutout window, poking my shoulder* POKE! POKE! POKE! SHE'S REAL!
So, not so much as a stupid comment as funny drunk guy story, but it still works

You know you're a DeLorean owner when "Run DMC" is not an 80's band, but a daily prayer.
Today, a guy driving a really shiny Hummer gave me the 'a-ok' sign as if to say "I'm like you". It was brutally difficult to not to flip him off.

Why? Hummers were cool, although impractical. I'm of course talking about an H1. If an H2 or H3 did that to you, meh. They like your car, take it as a compliment! Remember, at the end of the day, our cars up till 5 years ago had a mainly negative stereotype attatched to them too (cocaine), which thanks to DMCH's marketing, is being phased out in favor of news about electric cars and whatnot.

At the servo filling up next to another guy at another pump ...........
"Is that a kit car?"
"What, my Delorean?"
"Yeah."
"Yup, it's got a wire frame body built with chicken wire, coated with paper mache, then wrapped with aluminium foil."
"You did a great job."
"Yeah I know, the Irish knew what they were doing."
