Under Construction

So you always read about those online petitions, maybe you've even received one yourself. Like the guy who kept trading his red paper clip up until he got a new house. Well good. Those were all good causes but mine is better.

You see I need a DeLorean. I already have a car, and it works fine, but what I want is a DeLorean. One time I was turning into the shopping center at the Englewood LightRail station and turning left into the shopping center was a DeLorean. It was beautiful- but more importantly, I still remember it. Every detail of it, what time of day it was, who was with me, the exact spot on the road. I still talk about that DeLorean encounter. From then on- I had to have one.

Further back I was at the Bellco bank in Westminster, just behind the mall and lo and behold, what do I see backing out of the parking lot- a DMC 12 DeLorean. this was probably 15 years ago, but I remember it vividly.

Such a memorable car transcends life. I have several problems.

1. I have a mean wife. (By Mean I mean practical- concerned about our finances, mortgage and growing family)

2. They haven't made the car in 27 years so it's not like I can go into the dealership and buy one

3. They are somewhat rare and only available on Ebay or Craiglist or things of that ilk.

4. They don't exactly have the best reputation for reliability.

5. Parts.

So here's my plan, and where you come in. You see I can't justify spending 10 grand plus on a 30 year old car that is junky and cannot be fixed easily or cheaply. HOWEVER- you can... let me explain. If you send $1 toward the cause I will only need $9,999. If you forward this blog onto 5 friends and they all give $1, then I'm down to $9,994. Etc. If I can get 10,000 people to give me one dollar each- BINGO!

OK OK so what do you get out of it? as a 1/10,000th percent owner you are entitled to your share of the car's use. Estimated at an average life of 100,000 miles, that means you'd get to drive the car for 10 miles- no questions asked. Simple right? Want to drive it more? Donate more.

Here's how- I have PayPal where you could send even the smallest donation, or check to me. And in the spirit of the man who made the car, John Z. DeLorean, I'm willing to "bend the law" a little and you could mail me cash. Just keep it on the down low.

So there you have it. We shall be victorious!
