hey, c'mon people. read the topic. have a sense of humor. the fact is, the delorean *was* poorly made, hands down. if you refute that, you're misinformed. even a rusted out ford pinto can be made into a reliable, nice car... given work and cash. deloreans can be and are reliable, but only if made so. it was a joke. Don't worship the car... it's far from perfect. but don;t get me wrong, it's still is and always will be my dream car. I love my 001697. -james
