I've got one I remember.

I was hanging out with some old friends and there was a girl from high school with them that I didn't quite remember, but she was cool and fairly attractive. We all decide to go out, so we walk out to our cars and she sees my 7 at the time (89 Blaze Red tII) and smiles and asks if she could ride with me.

"Why, of course you can."

So we get on the highway, our exit is coming up and we are in the left lane with traffic impeding the more tame path to the off-ramp. I was cruising in 5th, downshifted to 3rd and and passed all the traffic, bodies thrown back into the seat. After exiting and letting off the throttle (to a massive fireball, of course.) She laughs and says

"You keep driving like that and your are definitely getting laid tonight."

It worked. Haha. That was the ONLY time ANY of my 7's pulled a chick. Haha.

Pulled up to a light and got "IS THAT A DELOREAN?". Thought so because of the lovuers. I proceeded to tell them I WISH it was one. ha

Why would you wish your car was something that could barely go 88mph? ^.-

True enough. I don't wish my FC or any of my other cars was a DeLorean (I was in my Insight that day) but for the amount of money I've spent on all my car projects, I could have bought 4 DeLoreans. Oh well, a DeLorean is my next car anyway once the Cosmo is done.

Been watching the vids on youtube, it's been pretty cool seeing it get put together. Been slacking on the last few ones, but I watched it religiously at the start of the build. haha

Good luck with it!

Guy walks into my garage and he ask"what kind of car is this?"

I replied with "Mazda RX7"

He says "oh this is one of those weird engines, right?"

I said "It's a rotary"

With a confused look on his face, like he went back to kindergarten and was attempting to put the triangle inside the circle :scratch , but it wouldn't work. He looks at his buddy and whispers "something about triangles...."

Then they just walk away, as if it was making their heads hurt to think about it hahaha

A DeLorean is much more of what it represents than what it is. In that fashion, it is just like the rx7.

Could be easy, depending on the size of the circle/triangle.

Looking at a picture of a disassembled 13B and my sister walks up behind me.

"Why are you looking at vacuums?"
