RE: [DML] Re: DeLo Notoriety (BTTF vs Original Production vs Daily Service)

It all depends on the age bracket, over 40 knows the car because they know 
about
John Z. DeLorean, the inventor of the muscle car, the cars that your big 
brother had
and the cars that got you laid.

Guys in my age, 25-35 remember seeing the biggest blockbuster of the year 
1985,
and again in 1988, 1989.

The BTTF movies are in regular rotation on some cable channel most every 
day.
Just about every kid has seen them at some point.

If they are in their young teens then maybe they saw the car on Jesse James'
show, and we all know what the kids think of him...they love him.
He has his own section at Wal-Mart now.
Jesse said our cars suck.....what will the kids think now?

Trust me, I do my fair share of positive promotion for the car.
Every Sunday night you will find me on a very busy street in downtown Dallas
where I meet my friends at the Karaoke bar for fun..... I display the car
all night there in front of the club.
I let people sit in it, take photos and I tell them about the car.
I feel I know what the public opinion of the car is from people who have 
never seen
one or never even heard from one.
It's a long road ahead.
