The key: If you're in a hurry, don't take your DeLorean. This happens
constantly. It's part of the fun of owning and driving the car. Please
don't be rude to these people; we don't want them thinking us DeLorean
owners are a bunch of self centered jerks.

I personally take all the time in the world with these people. I have
no problem letting their kids sit in it. Just the other day a guy
asked if he could take a picture of his son in the driver's seat - I
let him, even waited around while he ran back to his car to get his
camera. Why not? It's no big deal.

If I really am in a hurry, I'll say, "I apologize - I have somewhere I
have to be, but here's my card, give me a call and I'd be happy to
spend more time telling you about the car later."
