Helicopter

["miltdanfoss" <d@xxxx>]

Now, I've had plenty of people gawk at me in my DeLorean, and also 
not quite a few macho guys who try so hard to not look interested 
that they look funny not looking. However, today I had the most 
interesting of gawkers.

I had a helicopter come and position himself off me and follow me for 
about 5 miles. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but then I 
realized he/she was matching my speed and following off my drivers 
side close enough for a good look and even with me. This was after 
cirlcling around me for the complete view! 60 MPH is pretty slow for 
a helicopter too.

I may be loosing money by not keeping the miles low, but I am making 
up for it in the value of diving a fun car that is fun to look at. 
Kind of like driving around Disney World. 

After about 2 months I have already been photographed 5 times that I 
saw. I am in the photograph with several folks as well who wanted a 
picture with me and my DeLorean. I've had pretty coops at work come 
up and ask for a ride, acting like school girls.

One time I came out from the Drs. office and a girl was taking a 
picture. She saw me and panicked, as if it was a big no-no. She 
turned around and pretended to be taking a picture of her car. 
Problem was, her Mom was in the car and shouted out, "It must be his 
car! Get a picture of him with his car!" She asked if it would be 
alright and I said, "Why do you think I drive it? To enjoy it and for 
others to enjoy it!"

Got any stories you'd like to share? I'd love to hear other stories!
