Had a nice encounter tonight that I thought I'd share. Took the car out for a little drive and decided to head to Sonic on the way back and bring some milkshakes home. I noticed that a car seemed to be following me for several turns and ended up pulling into the stall next to me at Sonic. It was a lady and her son (maybe ten years old or so), who she said had never seen a DeLorean in person. She told me that her parents had one when she was younger and it was the car she went to prom in. Her son asked all kinds of questions, and was so excited to see one for the first time. He had the sparkle in his eyes that my parents told me I had the first time I saw one as a kid. He politely asked if he could take a picture; I told him of course, opened it up, and let him sit in it while his mom took some pictures. She was so thankful, and told me that she could not express how happy she was for me taking the time with them; her being able to show her son something that was a part of her childhood.
I felt so honored. I remember the first time someone took the time with me as a kid to show me their DeLorean, and I was glad to be able to "pay that forward" tonight.
