A run I bet nobody else can claim...

So tonight I ran a DeLorean, talk about a unique run.

It didn't sound all that great... it didn't run all that great... but man it was cool. I used to think those were sooo cool when I was a kid too.

The guy driving it had '80s coke-bottle glasses on and he had this poofy platinum blonde haired chick riding with him that looked like she was straight out of a porno or something.

He must've not had his flux capaciter on at the time because nothing happened when we passed 88mph either. If he did, then the race would've been over before it started... no pun intended?

Yea those cars are slow as **** but still a cool race.

You can buy them brand new again. A company is remaking them with all original parts, too bad they are like 35-40k starting out. LOL

Here's that company that builds and restores them: http://www.delorean.com/

A brand new one starts at $57,500... ouch. On the bright side, the new ones can come nicely equipped. MP3, 197hp "high performance N/A" engine, Eibach springs, 5 speed manual or 3 speed auto (wow), iPod interface, nav system, heated and cooled seats, LED lights, etc.
