The one in the background is either his other one, or his brother's (probably should have mentioned that between him and the rest of his family there's three DeLoreans). I think it's his going from the license plate, but I haven't seen it in so damn long that I can't honestly remember. It's his brother's. Just checked. I dunno where his other one is. Maybe he got around to selling it.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;32806249]I think his family must've [b]loved[/b] the Back To The Future films[/QUOTE] Just him and his brother mainly. But yeah... basically that's the jist of it.

[QUOTE=BestBuyInBRICK;32804938]Where was the Delorian being stored this whole time?[/QUOTE] Universal Studios, Hollywood California.

[QUOTE=doonbugie2;32805835]I know, but it hurts MPG and people care about MPG with todays gas prices.[/QUOTE] I don't buy a Ferrari for its gas mileage. Some cars are a novelty. Keeping it's Stainless steel skin would be worth the few extra miles.

Yeah good point.

[QUOTE=MangoJuice;32804917]GREAT SCOTT! Facepunch needs to pool its money in.[/QUOTE] That's not a good idea if you really think about it. A bitchfest on who gets it will ensue.

oh look they have a resale section [url]http://delorean.com/pre-owned[/url] [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5293778/saddowns.png[/t] :saddowns:

OR WAIT We can build a museum on an island in between the US and EU and store it there so anyone can come and see. (Anyone who can fly to the island that is) [editline]16th October 2011[/editline] And you had to have been a Facepunch member at the time of this post to gain admittance. It's fool-proof.

Christ, a 2011 decked out Camero doesn't even cost that much. And yes, I do know why they cost almost 60k. I'm just saying that ain't cheap by any stretch of the imagination.

I would take a Delorean over a Lamborghini any day. Scratch that, I'd take the Lamborghini, sell it, then buy 20 Deloreans for the same price.

Man, if i won the lottery now, i know what i'd put money too.

Can't believe only three of the seven have survived.

It still really doesn't change the fact that 60 grand is a lot of money for a car from the 80's. It's actually funny, back when they first came out they cost about $25,000 and you know what that is now with inflation? About $60,000, so that Texas company is [B][I]technically[/I][/B] selling them at near the original price.

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;32805582]Some company somewhere should start making DeLoreans again. [editline]15th October 2011[/editline] Some company somewhere should start making DeLoreans again. Seriously, they'd make so much money off of BTTF fans.[/QUOTE] DeLorean as a company actually exists again, and they build the same car again, except that they've improved on all the weak spots (especially the rust). I think they start from 50.000$.

I like how they use the movie as a huge selling point for the car Like, it's the only reason anyone would buy a DMC-12

I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it. IIIII NEEEEED IIIIIIIIT.

Don't DeLorean's have reputation for handling like complete shit?

[QUOTE=Zenpod;32809886]Don't DeLorean's have reputation for handling like complete shit?[/QUOTE] How dare you sully the DMC name. Actually yeah I think they do, but a lot of people completely replace the engine.

-snip-

[QUOTE=Zenpod;32809886]Don't DeLorean's have reputation for handling like complete shit?[/QUOTE] They originally came with a stock Volvo engine, so they weren't exactly amazing. Like has been said, though, a lot of people replace them. Some people keep them simply for the authenticity though.

ITT nerds who never in they life cared about cares suddenly get all passionate when "it's that car from BTTF"
