I saw a DeLorean out on the road just yesterday. Was wondering what had happened to this guy.

Spoiled rotten children in the Jersey Highlands? Say it aint so? Some of them even grow up to right books about how the Republican party isn't "inclusive" enough.

"The car was a piece of junk, always in the shop." I had the opportunity to drive a Delorean once...It was running beautifully when the cops pulled me over. Unbeknownst to me, as I was driving along, the car was sucking up the white line along the side of the road.

File under the category of "Didn't even know he was still alive."Ha. I was called upon yesterday to overnight an item on behalf of Evil Knevil. At least two people involved wondered of he's still alive. Is he?
To: OldFriend
DeLorean was a high-flyer who let his media-driven 'legend' go to his head. He convinced hImself that he was not subject to the laws of economics and practical business - he tried to introduce an 'exotic' sports car into a national market with no post-sales support infrastructure. Even if he had managed to sell all 8,000 cars - there was no way to maintain them across the US.

I thought the 65 still had horizontal lights. Did they change in 65?

He won his criminal case but his life totally fell apart from that moment on.

Nah, not that interested. I believe it, I've apparently just been wrong all these years.

Not true. the car is based on standard off the shelf technology. I've got one sitting in my driveway 10 feet away.. It's got a Volvo motor. I can get parts at any car parts store. Anything else I can get from DMC of America in Texas. Or from my local, factory trained DMC mechanic.
To: OldFriend
That what happens when you use a Renault powertrain.
Delorean's actually look halfway decent when they're painted.
