    There's a guy in town with a DeLorean that he drives around. He ripped out that worthless Peugeot motor, and used some air cooled Volvo motor in it's place. And then he painted the kick panels purple. I remember watching Back To The Future and liking the movie and everything. But I never liked that car. John DeLorean was still thinking of the Vega when he made that thing. It could have been such a cool concept car, but instead it became a running (or not? hmm) joke.

    Stillborn car. A shame because it had potential. "Had" being the key word.

    haha I missed the DeLorean days, but I can imagine Carson and the rest of them had some fun with it.
