Surely it would have to have been 9,142 and not 9,145? I mean, it's universally agreed to have ended in 42, right?Originally Posted by Michael

My VIN: Banged your VIN'S mom
Well even though I had planned not to get one I was placing an order with DMCMW and had Julee tack one on since it wouldn't change shipping. Got it today and I wish I could open it up and inspect it closer (that's code for play with it). I thought you could open it up without comprimising the package but I don't see how that's possible. Oh well, it looks nice next to the other 100 or so HW DeLoreans on my office shelf...kinda like the king of the HW cars.

Too bad they didn't produce 6,600. I'd be able to get one with my VIN.

To whom it may concern,
I came across this forum upon a Google search. Long story short... my 8 year old nephew is a huge fan of DeLoreans... found Hot Wheels DeLorean while grocery shopping... brought it home and noticed something peculiar: the wheels on the car do not match. Is this a common occurrence? I figured that someone here might have a few to look at for comparison sake.
Thank You,
Michael

I'm more worried about the row of black squares missing either side of the number plate, the DeLorean imprint on bumper too small, missing window/defrost/etc switches on centre console, etc - but seriously though, the detail is friggen fantastic! No idea about the wheels though, they are always wrong so I presume there is an intentional reason for that...

Chris,
weedn means that the front wheels don't match the rears. The front ones are not the right ones for that model.

Yep, that's a factory error. That car might be worth something, I see "factory error" ones on ebay all the time for exorbitant prices. Not sure if anyone has ever sold one, but they list for lots
