Stop the video @ 3:27 and you can actually see a cupholder.

Aside from the awesome console clock that is perpetually stuck on 9:17, the cut to an OnStar rearview mirror, and editing that would make Ed Wood weep, what DeLorean owner hasn't seen BTTF 3 and knows not to stop on railroad tracks?

In all seriousness this is a good PSA for anyone who has ever wondered why you're supposed to change BOTH headlights at once.

On a side note, DeLorean doors are pretty damn robust. Could a motorcycle moving like that REALLY cause that much damage? Sorry... nitpicking I suppose...

Not at those speeds, no. It would have to be going well into the triple-digits.

I'm trying my best not to nitpick this video too. Hell, I thought it was the motorcycle rider who died. And how could he not have heard that DeLorean from a block away with those rotten exhaust gaskets?

"what if my car didn't sound like a lawn mower when I sped off from my driveway?" :D

I haven't.

And I'm glad to know my DeLorean doesn't actually sound that stupid as I drive off. So this real accident, how fast was the motorcyclist going? And how was he NOT killed?

The real incident involved a Mercedes Sedan of some sort performing an illegal U-turn and two people on a motorcycle who were killed on Nov. 12 2005:

For whatever reason, the filmmaker chose to weave this story whose only similarity involved a motorcycle/vehicle impact. A tenuous link at best.

Who's together forever? The motorcyclist and the girl?
