    Somehow, my first DeLorean (circa 2000) was registered in California as a GMC. I was pulled over one night for a really long time and the officers kept asking me what kind of car it was and if I also own a truck. The finally told me that the car was registered as a GMC truck. I don't remember how or if it was ever resolved.

    My friend's Delorean's color was registered as brown. I don't know who saw it brown, but needs glasses.

    My current Michigan registration refers to the car as a CONVERTIBLE. I guess if the doors don't open the usual way, DMV people get all freaked out.

    So today I went to an auto parts store. (Parts for my truck) One of the employees came out with a customer to look at the car. He says to me. “Is this the one they had up at Bondy’s?” (Bondy is a car dealer about 50 miles from here.) I told him it was not up there, but I’m keen to meet the owner. I asked “When did you see it there?”. He says “Well, it was when I was working there, so I guess about 1990”.

    I realize there aren’t a lot of these around, but to assume it’s one you saw 50 miles away, 30 years ago is a little much.

    You would have blown his mind if you told him 'Yes, it was the one at Bondy's about 30 years ago. Great memory'

    Things are getting stupid expensive with housing down here, so some people are moving, and a few loaded folks are moving in.

    And so a new neighbor came up to introduce himself. He was excited to see the DeLorean. He was saying he knew the founder of the company... I glossed over that as I'm used to the weird statements, but then he said "yeah, he's the founder of AMC." At that point, I had to clear it up.

    It's funny though. He wanted to ride around in the car and he owns a freaking Aventador and about three jets.

    So I guess I should let him drive the DeLorean around so I can take the Lambo for a spin? Sound like an good deal?


    Isn't it absolutely wonderful how the DeLorean can transcend time and all levels of wealth? It's simply the best car.

    We are flooded with Aventadors and similar high-dollar vehicles where you and I live. A simple pass down 5th Avenue is all it takes for every person on scene to stare, smile, record, point, comment, thumbs up the DeLorean.
    It takes a Koenigsegg to amass similar reactions in our town.

    True..

    Have you ever been down towards Santa Barbara and Radio Rd? I saw another DeLorean driving there a few years ago, and haven't seen it since.

    I have not. To my knowledge there were only 3 of us in the area.

    Definitely take him up on it if he offers to let you drive the Lambo in exchange for him driving the DeLorean.

    It's pretty crazy that even now the inflated prices of DeLoreans that the smiles-per-dollar is still off the charts. It's been a while since I had anyone make a negative comment about it while driving around, it's just thumbs up everywhere.
