:o Wow, those things are rare... I've only ever seen two in person. Nice shot, by the way.

Thank you!

And this is the first time in a long time I've seen one up close, let alone been able to hug it, and it's a filthy mess XD It was obviously open trailered to the used car lot.

lol - I wonder how much extra they're charging for the Flux Capacitor. - XD

This is on a podunk used car lot so I imagine it's "as is".

Aw, lame. - Rofl.

Ask them if it comes with a Mr Fusion by default.

If I do get one I want to put a twin turbo RX8 engine in it.

I've never seen one in real life! I wanna! Then again I would want to have a flux capacitor for it too..

I wouldn't but that's because I'd be trying to save weight. If I got one I'd want to quarter mile the silly thing.

True that, true that. Heck, I'd go for that idea!

The only problem I have with the Delorian is the gull-wing doors. The windows are too small for you to hardly climb through and if your layin upside down in a ditch your kinda screwed.

This is very true, and it could be worse: you could be upside down with lambo doors.

Those forward opening things? Yeah that would reak too. Those funky opening doors are cool but slightly impractical.

Tho I still wanna DMC. =D

Lambo doors scissor upward and out. Lamborghini don't actually have them anymore because, well, the cars flipped and the people inside died.

As for being trapped in a DMC, you could just break the windshield instead. I think the more practical problem with a DMC would be parking lots. Eternally stuck in two parking spaces in the boonies with a "GULL WING DOORS DO NOT TOW" sign in the window.

I never even considered too-close-for-my-comfort parkers. That would be soooo bad. x3

If you have a "tight as a sammich" garage it gets even more fun!

Would be trapped in the car in the garage. XD
That would be deliriously fun! Thank God I don't have a garage I would get stuck in. But then again I can't keep my own car clean. =P

My family's garage is full of my brother's CRX. Well, the body of it at least, the engine is in pieces all over the house. I drive a Tracer.

Heheh, that's not a good place for engine parts is it? Is he workin on it or modifying it?

I don't know much about Mercury. =/

I drive a Dodge Daytona. And the stupid cats walk through the mud and then over the hood. >.<

Well, he was modifying it and building a racecar but I guess he ran out of steam? I dunno.

Mercury is meh and the Tracer is actually an escort ripoff but I loves my tracer yes I do. I have given it to my mechanic in states where he has admitted he has no idea why it was running or how I drove it to him.

Heh, I know that feelin.
And Yes! People must love their cars!
And wow that's pretty bad I'm thinkin. XD

And when you find a DeLorean, make the capacitor yourself:

Unlikely. I want to do quarter miles in it (or even a Gumball 3K if I ever have enough money) and I want to save weight.

Hey cool, I like it. Thanks! In the favs she goes. =
I spelled DeLorean wrong. >.<

omg you mean its for sale? i need it! -opens wallet and a moth flies out- 8(

Yeah, that's about where I'm sitting as well (I'm just a student right now).

But do you have the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity needed to fuel the flux capacitor?

If I ever get one I foresee hearing that line. A lot.

That and "Great scott" and "this is heavy".

Or "once this baby hits 88 miles an hour, you're going to see some serious shit."

That's because those movies are awesome.

a place in texas sales new and refurbished ones
the new ones are made from brand new original parts bought from the factory before it shut down

I WANT ONE SO BADLY
and im jealous that you got to touch one

Nnnnno. That isn't how they're getting the parts because when DMC was shut down, the government of the country it was in took all parts, molds, and cars in progress and dumped them into the ocean. This went down in the early 80s and is the reason why they were made only a few years. That's why it's so hard to find DMC parts if you actually own a real Delorean.

I imagine what's actually happening is they've machined their own molds to knock out parts. Certainly it'd make it easier to replace door hydraulics but I'm honestly not sure what to think of the Texas DMCs. For starters they cost double what you can pay for an 80s DMC. A Delorean on the internet for sale is 15-20K. Hell sometimes you'll find them as rolling chassis or whatever for closer to 10K. The ones out of Texas? Over 40K.

And you can't claim original motor: it's not the original motor. You can't claim parts numbers matching: Because they don't. Now some people don't go into it for that, hell I'd buy a numbers matching then have the numbers matching parts professionally stored because that engine's coming out in favor of one out of an RX8, but it does bring the question. Is it actually a Delorean or a pretender to the throne?

I suppose the determining factor would be what year the VIN claims. If the VIN is from the 80s, it's re-manufactured. If the VIN is from the '00s, it's a kit car, not a DMC, because DMC has been gone since oh about the time I was a year or two old.

My take? Buy one from the 80s. Save yourself half the cost of the Texas one and put in whatever engine you like.

they bought all the molds and surplus parts
it was on TV a few months ago with a complete history

I haven't had cable since I was 12.

That being said: It's not an actual DMC unless the VIN is in the 80s. Otherwise it's a kit car. Of course that's just my opinion.

DeLorean is my dream!
