av8rmikeOn the way into work today, I saw a DeLorean DMC-12 at a repair shop. I didn't think there were too many in existence today*, let alone one in Severna Park, but according to the Wikipedia, there are still about 6,000 around today. When I first saw Back to the Future (Wow, 21 years ago, now...) I used to think they were the coolest cars. Of course, I also liked Datsuns, for some reason.
*- Although, now I'm remembering a claim from a friend back in college: That there was someone in Pittsburgh, maybe even associated with the university, that owned a DeLorean, even outfitted to look like the time machine in the movies.

We drove that car until it wouldn't run any more. I still remember when we brought it home from the dealership -- all the kids in the neighborhood came over to check it out.
BTW, after I read this post last week, I went to Wikipedia and read all of their DeLorean entries, wasting about half an hour of my workday. What a timesuck.

"Yeah, a DeLorean."
