Rap stars and drug dealers? On the contrary.  I wouldn't mind having
one, and I detest rap.  And no, I don't use or deal drugs.  No one even
knows what this car will look like, if it ever becomes a reality,
which is why I find it hard to believe that people are criticizing it
already.  The interior that I saw in PF reminded me like the interior
of a Lexus or
a newer Mercedes, which are pretty high end cars.  Why wouldn't I mind
having it?  The extra horsepower would be nice, the climate controlled
seats, GPS, redesigned airflow out of the A/C, auto headlights, the
list could go on and on and on.  Not to mention the better sound
system and relocated electronics.  Oh yes, a stainless frame would be
very nice too.  I am sure they will have quite a few interested
buyers, who would rather have a re-skinned and updated car that was
really meant to exist, rather than some guy who builds replica
Lamborghinis in his driveway (no offense to your friend).  These would
be far from kit cars that DMCH would produce, and I think most owners
should be glad they might make the body panels out of fiberglass.  It
saves the stainless for those of us who really might need it down the
road.  I'm not sure why VB thinks that only drug dealers or rappers
would be interested in these revamped cars.  All I can see is
improvement (except for the chrome rims that they are now selling). 
The quantity will be so limited that I have a feeling the value would
go up a lot faster on these limited edition DeLoreans than it has on a
stock DeLorean in the past 23 years.

Just my opinon,
