    Meh, live and let live. We are all attracted to these cars for different reasons, and enjoy them in different ways. Am I surprised this car was turned around and sold so quickly after its purchase and restoration? Not at all. Onwards & upwards, I say.

    Oh, and everyone thinks the generation that succeeds them is a mess. Baby boomers used to be the problem children because of sex, drugs, and rock & roll; then it was Gen X, and now it's us millennials. I'm almost 34, and from what I've seen and read from Matt Farrah, I can't say I can relate to him much other than the fact we've both owned DeLoreans. It's not all dire news for us millennials either, just as it wasn't for the generations who preceded us:

    Gotta say I found his article (posted earlier in this thread) quite revealing about his character... all the "I's" and "me's" and the bits you guys mentioned about him essentially bashing guys that enjoying hanging out because their car brings them together.

    Ok Matt, we get it. You're way too cool for us. Good riddance.

    Anybody know who bought his DMC-12?

    I got the same vibe from his videos. Then I read the article. Seems like he didn't really know what he was in for. When you own a DeLorean, you own a piece of pop culture history. You can roll with it -- or you can be frustrated that, to everyone you meet, your car is now by far the most interesting thing about you, and because you can't get over yourself you have to sell it. Personally, I don't mind stepping away from the car and becoming totally anonymous. But people have different personalities. I guess that's why there are different cars out there...

    It's funny how these YouTube guys buy a DeLorean and say it's their dream car. Then, within a year, they either sell the car or let it burn in a Rite Aid parking lot.

    I had my delorean at Radwood LA in December and he was there. He walked right by my car, I was hoping he'd stop and say Hi but nah. I was the only delorean there too. Maybe he came by while I was away and I missed him, who knows.

    Ever see a girl and say, "Wow, she's my dream girl"? (or something akin to that?) Only to find out shortly thereafter she wasn't your cup of tea?

    It happens, they call it life.

    I think you missed the point I was making. If you buy the car and decide it's not for you, that's one thing. I'm talking specifically about the guys with Youtube channels / social media pages who buy their "dream car", shoot a couple of videos with it and then get rid of it.
