Re: [DML] Car Shows

["Payne" <bpayne@xxxx>]

I have had my car in a couple of shows here in my town, and nobody has been
so disrespectful as to help themselves into it. Of course everyone has to
immediately place huge handprints all over it as they walk by, but I have no
problem letting people sit in it if they ask. I would first suggest having
a couple of more obvious signs placed conspicuously on the seat or the door
sill. I love to see DeLoreans at shows and I'd hate for a few people to
sour your experience.

Although I'm always willing to let people sit in my car, I almost had a
conniption at the last show. I was talking to a man with two small children
and they asked if they could sit in it. Well his little girl began jumping
up and down on the passenger seat, then stomped on my power window switches
to vault herself over the center tunnel. She then continued jumping up and
down on my drivers seat while yanking on the shifter. After the father
hauled her out, his son began opening and slamming my doors extremely hard.
He then noticed my engine cover open and began yanking on it in frustration
when it wouldn't close. And I'm sure you all know how weak that little
slide block is to hold it open. I couldn't believe it didn't break. I'm a
little more wary about children but I don't like being a jerk when it comes
to my car.
