I know how you feel Rich. My car always seemed to have something pop up at the last minute that prevented me from showing it. I didn't get to go to Memphis because my clutch went out a week or so before the show. Your time will come though... eventually... lol. My car was actually fairly far down the development curve mechanically, but it's a DeLorean... so things were always popping up. The couple of times I did show the car was absolutely a blast... I know what you mean Mike. It just makes it worth the trouble when you see how much it lights up peoples eyes when they see the car. I always let people sit in mine... and I made sure to ask if they wanted a ride in it too. I had a couple D owners do stuff like that for me when I was just getting started in the hobby about 4 years ago, and let me tell you it made my day... or year... or decade lol. I think it's easy to become jaded by the little machines... because they can be so taxing on you. I know sometimes I just wanted to be able to get gas without being bothered... because the last thing I wanted to talk about was the stupid car that was kicking my ass that day... lol. But I think Mike's got a good remedy for this... get out and just show the car and enjoy it every once in a while! :-) --- "cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I envy you guys. Every time a car show or a social event happens that I want to attend, my car or my schedule keeps me from going. If this crap hadn't happened with my wheel, I would have attended the show. The F'ing Navy is keeping me from the Fall tour next weekend. Good job buddy!

A very popular beach resort on the Atlantic Ocean here in MD. They often have events during the off season to attract off peak visitors. This past weekend they had their annual fall show and there were cars from 1920s all the way up to a new Chrysler Crossfire. > > Here are my observations: > > I was the only Delorean there which is different then the usual events I have attended. What made that nice is that you were not really comparing your car with (and jealous of J) other Deloreans. There were about 1500 cars in all and it was very crowded. Had it not been raining it would have been even bigger. > > Once I put my doors up the car got more attention than I ever imagined. At any given time there were about 15 people around the car. I think at one point it hit 30. When I took a break and walked around I could see my wife taking questions like a press secretary at the white house. _____________________________________________________________ Pre-order the updated second edition of "DeLorean: Stainless Steel Illusion" now!
