People would know what one is then... >> Just drive around in a Bricklin,and you will know exactly what it would be like if the Delorean had not been in the BTTF movies,every time I gas up or park my Bricklin,I am asked if it is a Delorean or Ferrari,or What kind of car is that?Also the Delorean is not about to fade away into the "sunset",just drive up on Interstate I-91 Northbound in Massachusetts by exit 13a,and you will see a huge billboard with a picture of a Delorean(about 4X the size of our cars) to freak you guys out,with the doors wide open ,it is a ad for the Yankee Candle Car Museum (they own/ have a Delorean) Claude 000570
