Default Special Prom ride

alright so I already have a date to the prom and the suit and I am trying to pick from one of three modes of Transport to get there. I want to make it special and unforgettable and I want it to reflect me.

so I'm thinkin about one of these three tell me what you think:

1. going together with a few other friends and getting a Limo

2. asking to borrow a 1977 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II from a lady at church

or

3. asking to borrow my friends 1981 DeLorean DMC-12

I would take the Rolls Royce myself. Classic, classy, and the mode of transport for the rich and powerful, you'd make an impression

Those are 3 good choices

I would take into consideration what your date would enjoy. Keep in mind most female are not car experts and to them the Rolls might just be a old car with a crappy radio and the Delorean she would probably complain about getting in and out with a prom dress on. If she is not into cars, the Limo is your best bet.

If she knows cars and is into them then I would go for the Rolls.

you are right

but she loves sports cars and it would also leave an impression because she has never seen one in her life but the rolls is nice.

Go for the Rolls if it's not a problem to get it. I think taking a date in a nice/cool car is a great idea.

Ok. Two things to remember,
1) It is not only her prom, but yours too.
2) Most high school girls love attention.

Ok, now. Everyone wants to remember their prom, but most just tell the same story of a limo or riding with friends. Wouldn't you want to tell your buddies down the road that you went to prom in a Roll Royce or 81 DMC-12? I know i drove my 69 camaro to prom, and I'll always remember it.

Now, if she does like attention, then pulling up in a limo would be like following everyone else. But to pull up in one of those would not only turn heads, but guarantee people to talk to focus on your date.

I might be wrong, but thats my opinion. Go for the Roll Royce.

HMM Did not know that! You know how long it has been since I was at a prom? As you get old you forget minor things.
