I'm a huge fan of the DMC-12. If you dig deep under the crappy Renault engine and John Z DeLorean's idiocy, you will see a very cool car. The technology is amazing by today's standards, revolutionary for the 1980s. I want to find a DMC-12 with a blown motor or has been painted (ie wrecked), ditch the Renault V6 and drop in an NSX engine and transmission. THAT car won't need a flux capacitor for time warp.

Anyway, the "new" cars are actually just the old cars. When DMC went under, they just halted production, and had hundreds of parts left over. A company in Texas bought all the leftover stock a few years ago to help out DeLorean fans trying to keep their cars original. After a few years demand was highe enough that they decided to just build the cars. So technically, these cars alrady classics. But how do you date a car whose parts were manufactured before 1982 and assembled in 2008? Yikes. Still very cool, the world needs more cars like the DeLorean. Kcuf civility, gas mileage, and luxury. Build a car that's just plain FUN!!! It doesn't even need to be fast, just cool!

I saw his a while ago on Speed Channel
