Saw a Delorean today

:
2003.5 Black Protege5
Thats all, just wanted to say I saw a Delorean at the store today. Guy was putting his groceries in and the gull wing doors were open

Its been at least a decade since I have seen one of these peices of s*** so the sighting was pretty significant to me

Hey thats pretty cool they are such a cool looking car now the better question is I wonder if it made it back to his house without breaking down lol
 
Seen them at many car shows and one was for sale at a local dealer and it did not move for over a year. Car is junk.

I saw one once. Me and my brother were walking around Wall Street at 3am in downtown NYC, we were both drinking a cold coors light when we see this silver car roll up around the corner. I was awestruck because it was in such good condition too.

I dont call a car that wont ever rust a piece of junk.

You mean the body panals won't ever rust. the rest rusts just fine.


My friends dad used to have one. biggest hunk of s*** I ever seen. Just a novelty now.
 
There's an oil change place right down the street from me that has one parked outside all the time. One day I stopped by to take a look at it, and found out it was the guy that owned the place. Says it's his daily driver and I must say that it was in pretty good condition.

And on an interesting side note, I have a friend that is obsessed with DeLoreans. He always tells me interesting little side facts, so I'll share.
1. The most rare and most expensive DeLorean was also the slowest one to come out of the factory. Every body panel was plated in 18k gold.
2. John DeLorean was so afraid that someone would try and steal his molds and replicate his cars, he had all the molds and stamping plates bent out of shape and sunk to the ocean floor. To this day, it makes finding replacement parts for the cars very difficult.
3. Roaming somewhere around the world is a very fast 3-Rotor 20B-powered Delorean. It's awesome.
 
^^ I think it looks kind of spiffy in black
(at least batmobileish, and the batmobile is cool)
