    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.

    Actual snippet of a conversation from Sept 2013:

    Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.

    Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....

    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.

    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.

    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.
