Stupid Delorean Comment Of the Day

Supposedly, that is true. Personally, with my car on its roof and the fact it would be totaled at that point, I'd just kick the windshield out.

If I had a dollar for every time I've been in a rollover accident...... gah! so annoying!

The side window is probably a better choice, as discussed here. Windshield's tempered and at a steep angle, whereas the side glass can be easily shattered.

HA! Caddyshack reference. Nice:giggle:

This is getting frustrating ...........

"So did you build it?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's a kit car right?"

*thinking of slapping the questioner*

"No, it's manufactured in a factory. Doc Brown built his into a time machine, you must be confused."

A few have asked if it was a kit car now. Piss me off!! And it's not BTTF related either!

I honestly want to see a "kit car" Delorean just to know what these asshats are talking about. Ive looked before and couldn't find any pics of a "kit" DMC.

If I remember correctly, Doc Brown's second DeLorean could fold up into a suitcase - but still doesn't make it 'kit'...

I've had this one. My reply: "By the time you source all the Stainless panels individually, you may as well buy a real one."

I have been getting the kit comments as well. They are pretty frequent too. It is annoying but its giving me s business idea.:tongue:

What is probably happening is people are hearing about DMCH's cars and how they "tear down and piece together" a brand new DeLorean and translate that as "kit car."

When people do that with me, I just state there are no "kit cars", and when someone is bold enough to try me I explain the differences between a kit car, refurbished, and new build DeLoreans. Most of the time, people realize their mistake and drop it.
