My next door neighbor owns a DeLorean.

[michigancat]

I want to ask him questions, such as, "Why the f*ck do you own a DeLorean?" and stuff, but he's pretty standoffish.

Anyone have any good DeLorean-related stories I can use as "icebreakers"?

[steve dave]

"Do you remember when the Libyans mowed down Doc for stealing their plutonium?" is where I'd start.

[Saulbadguy]

Ask him if he sees serious crap when hit his 88 mph.

[kougar24]

Ask him if he needs roads where he's going.

[michigancat]

Guys, I'm sure he gets your retarded BTF references all the time.  I'm talking about a REAL story that I can apply to me.

[sys]

take a pic of your neighbor's del. and post it.  pls.

[Saulbadguy]

"To Mr. Iaccoca and his failed expirement, the DeLorean!.

[michigancat]

take a pic of your neighbor's del. and post it.  pls.

I will next time I see it out.

He was washing it in his driveway last night and I saw him driving it last week.  So it gets some quality use.

DMC Houston announced on July 30, 2007 that the car would be returning into very limited production (about 20 cars per year) in 2008. [20] The newly produced cars will have a base price of $57,500 and have new stainless steel frames and lighter fiberglass underbodies, with optional extras such as GPS, an enhanced "Stage 2" engine, and possibly a new modern interior. The cars will be made with 80% old parts and the rest new.[21]

That's a good talking point

[Saulbadguy]

Ask him "what kinda mileage do you get"?

[jeffy]

That would be sweet!  Just think of the chicks you could pull cruisin' thru the 'Ville!

[cireksu]

Ask him if it's really expensive to service/fix.

[michigancat]

suggestions getting betterrer

[BigXIIpowercat]

"I lost my virginity in a DeLorean. Well, come to think of it, the chick lost her virginity in the DeLorean. Oh, and it was your daughter in THAT &@#%ING CAR!!"

Yeah I know, it's all I could come up with.

[kougar24]

You're the one who's excited because your neighbor has a DeLorean. Why are you excited? Because of the car's famous ties to BttF. Might want to re-think who the retard is in this thread.

Apparently.   

[Saulbadguy]

Ask him if he's enjoying KCMO.

[michigancat]

You know people that avoid eye contact and get an "oh, crap, he might want to talk to me" look when eye contact is made?  He's one of those guys.  Doesn't seem to enjoy KCMO.  Maybe it's just me?

is your neighbor me?

Doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would have the prototypical "HEY EVERYONE!  LOOK AT THE D00D WITH THE D-E-L-O-R-E-A-N!!!11!!!" type car.

[Saulbadguy]

Is he foreign?

[catdude33]

Maybe ask him if he thinks he's better than you because he dirves a fancy Delorean.  This would potentially kill two birds with one stone.  It serves as your icebreaker, and if he says "yes" you've figured out the reason why he absolutely hates living next door to you.  Win-Win imo.

[Chingon]

If owns a DeLorean there is always one failsafe icebreaker:

[pissclams]

if he likes fast cars, then he must like fast music, about his fast cars, that he likes.  perfect anecdote to break the ice

[michigancat]

Is he foreign?

He kind of looks like a Euro.  Has the "Hanson" hair.



He actually looks a lot like the kid on the right.

I know, it's weird.  There is another neighbor that is standoffish.  He drives a Buick from the 80's...with an alarm system.  Everyone else is pretty nice.

[treysolid]

just SOLELY off of the reports of the two cars and the fact that both guys are standoffish, i'd say both of your neighbors maintain grow houses.  ask each of them how much their electric bills run each month.

Makes a lot of sense in hindsight.

No, De Lorean guy is a nurse or something.  Buick guy is just a hipster douchebag.  Been in buick's house...too social for growing.  (buick's roommates)
