DeLorean is Dead
I’m not referencing the death of the Back to the Future series, because that will always live as a classic movie series. I’m talking about John DeLorean, who developed the cool “winged” sportscar that Michael J. Fox drove around in time.
After reading this article on yahoo.com, I was surprised to read that the guy had been acquitted of charges that he planned to sell $24 million worth of cocaine to support the making of these DeLorean cars. If only he could have used some of the movie profits to sell the car, I don’t think cocaine would have had to been an option.
Rest in peace John DeLorean. Thanks for inventing our future.
too bad he didnt make it to 88. he could have gone back to the future.
someone in racine had one of these damn cars, and its not as pretty as you think it was. Marty sure made it look cool though…
so did you know the engine for the sucker was a Volvo engine? most people thought it was a fast car, but nope, it wasnt. interesting huh? other fun facts about the car can be found here: http://www.delorean.co.uk/DMUK/myths.html
