DeLorean Facts and Myths

[FABombjoy]

This was originally a DeLorean World article that I reformatted for a show I attended, a performance cross section of 1981 cars. During a big "omg youtube said its slow" comment era.

I added the 120hp V8 Mustang GT for extra depression.

Perception= Extra Depression. I love that!

If you really want to get some onlookers to up their anti-depressant intake add the base model '82 Camaro (yes the one with the Iron Duke)

Im going to download, enlarge and laminate these. I may add a few things. Ive now had probably 5 people over the last year ask me if its a real delorean or a kit. So i may add that in. As I have never heard of anything close to a replication. So im going to state that as a fact that there are no kits. they are all real. (unless someone hear tells me otherwise)

Wife and I went to cars and coffee today and walked around awhile. I leave doors up and open back when we go. 99.9 percent of the people are always respectful. We walked back up to check on it and were standing about a parking spot away when i heard some 25ish year old girl and her friends walk by and say "Yeah they only made this for one year because of reliability and quality problems". I dont know why but that one set me off. I immediately started walking towards them hoping something else stupid would come out of her mouth, but they all walked off quick and I didnt get my opportunity. In 2.5 years of ownership I have never been so upset about a comment. Probably because the way she said it and the fact I did not get the chance to put her in her place....idk..

I saw a picture of one kit car Delorean. It was all fiberglass and it looked mostly accurate, I don't know if I saved a picture of it.

I had a Mustang guy at a show walk up and just say, "Buick motor." I asked him what he meant and he just pointed at the motor and repeated himself. I gently explained it was not a Buick motor. His next comment was that I was wrong because he had a buddy that had the first DeLorean off of the line, and they put Buick motors in them. Needless to say I paid him no more attention.

Also, the DeLorean Facts graphic is a must have for cruise in's. I had one blown up and framed poster sized and it fits perfectly propped in the engine bay.
