Stupid Delorean Comment Of the Day

That being said, if you sourced all the missing parts yourself, then I suppose you could, but... why?

So somebody can finally answer, "It's the kit version"

Yes, it's a KITT....

I can vouch for this. Chris was talking about doing exactly that at lunch on Wednesday.

Also, is that thing for real!?!?!?

No, it's a photoshop based off another photoshop.

Correcting that previous post

Actually the black painted one is the original.



I remembered that it was involved in a photoshop parody, but it was actually the donor photo, resulting in this:

That is one sexy black DeLorean.


... and just an additional note: that the photoshop above used a photo of the Jay Ohrberg replica at universal CA for the time machine bits.

I was at a dealership today to pick up a car my Dad bought (and decide to trade in my Mom's car for another). My parents had been to this dealership earlier this week, and mentioned to a few guys that I had a DeLorean. This evidently intrigued some of them, who were interested. So today I went to that dealership to bring the car home, and while there, a salesman walked up to greet us, and said "So you're the one with the DeLorean?" I replied "Yup." Then he said "There's only a few of them left, aren't there?"

I knew he was being nice and showing he was impressed, so I simply said "Yeah" instead of pointing out there's over 7,000 still around. I wasn't going to be a dick or anything, so I let it slide. Still though, 7,000 isn't "a few" in my book.

That's not a stupid comment at all when you consider the manufacturing numbers for most other cars. 8000 is certainly a "few" when most companies manufacture their cars in from the hundreds of thousands into the millions.
