Tailfins and Grills

Yesterday was the 2011 Car Show at George Mason University. Not exactly the best weather to regale in the glory of your youth, but it was still a good time nonetheless. And I DID win an award. Maybe because I had the only motorcyle on display. Awesome.

Lots of photos after the jump.

Going back in time to May 25, 1977. The day I was born of course.

Yours truly in the drivers seat of a 1981 Delorean. I’ve always wanted one of these DeLoreans, but I wasn’t prepared for how cramped the cockpit was. Marty McFly must have been really little.
