Stupid Delorean Comment Of the Day

[DavidProehl]

At today's car show:

"God it's ugly"

"These things are just terrible, aren't they?"

I can get by the comments from the mini-van driving general public, but today it was the dude who tried to open the doors when they were shut. Oh, I really let him have it.

Wow that is bad. If it is so "terrible" then why would he even want to waste his time opening the doors? Sounds like a guy with a bad case of envy.

Along the same lines, when I was parking at a car show a couple years ago I heard one guy say to another "A DeLorean? Who would want one of those?" Since I was able to hear it over the sound of the engine (doors up), I can only assume he wanted to be loud enough for me to hear it.

Same car show. Not quite DeLorean related: guy walks up to me and says the default stuff like "nice car", etc.

He then moves on to ask "Does this car have an agent?". I was a bit stumped by it but he then had to tell me that he rents out his house to the local movie industry. So I thought that he just needed a queue to add this line.
Suddenly the whole conversation takes a rapid turn I did not anticipate. He asks "So I hear that you are initially from Germany, can you tell me when German women become sexually active and what their legal age is to have sex with them?"

I was stumped. Of course he used this queue to tell me another story involving a young German girl. I was lucky that another guy came up to me and asked me something abou the stainless steel panels, which got the other guy to walk on. Sometimes I wonder where these guys crawl out of. There is always the oddball on a show.

"your MOM's terrible!"

This got me thinking... has anyone tried just being blatantly immature back to one of these guys?

I mean like 5 year old school yard immature. And as ridiculous and obvious as you can muster. Granted, maybe try it with a guy you don't think is going to punch you for mocking him, but it could be pretty entertaining. Especially if the people around you realize you're only messing with him.

"Well, I heard you were garbage."
"I know you are, but what am I?"
"I don't know. Where's your flux capacitor, Mr. Poopy Head?"

I spent the weekend at a Car show with the DeLorean Owners Club UK. A member of the public comes up to me whilst I'm cleaning the rear wheels and says "Is that even your car, kid?"

I stand up, and turn around and say "Yes, it's my car" to a chap who is realizing I'm both taller than he is and around the same age. He suddenly comes out with "Oh, I guess your parents treated you to it then? I bet they pay a fortune to the garage to look after it"

Since he's obviously being antagonistic, I stated; "No, actually. I'm a well paid Software Engineer who worked hard to save the money to purchase and import the car into the country, and do most of the work on it myself. You shouldn't presume others are spoiled just because you can't afford something"

To which he then mellowed and apologised, which I honestly wasn't expecting!

Haha! And I was thinking if you flat out just don't want to engage the guy intelligently at all, just do the old repeat everything he says routine.

"I heard these cars are crap?"
"I heard these cars are crap."
"These cars are made out of aluminum, right?"
"These cars are made out of aluminum, right."
"Are you just repeating everything I'm saying?"
"Are you just repeating everything I'm saying."
"Seriously, what are you ten?"
"Seriously, what are you ten."
"Ah, f%$k it. Let's go Billy-Bob."
"Thanks for coming!"
