Re: [DML] DeLorean: Surely, Life Wasn't a Waste

[Jake Kamphoefner <jakekamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What the hell is going on with this list lately??
 
Sorry to rain on your emotional parade, but the car was built in Belfast, *N* Ireland (the British state), not Dublin.
 
-DeLorean wasn't pushed out of the US by anyone.  He went abroad because they were the highest bidder.
 
-John died on March 19, not the 20th.
 
-Detroit and the US government had nothing to do with putting DMC out of business.  The market did.
 
-The news coverage has been good, all things considered, in my opinion.  Most of the stuff I saw was very positive.  I even had some people in a restaurant on Sunday ask me if my DeLorean tee shirt was a tribute to John!  I though that was pretty good considering most people don't know much of anything about John or the car.
 
 
Don't get me wrong, I believe John was a good man.  I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago, and it was a highlight in my life.  I'm not trying to be heartless, but let's keep this reasonable!  Let's celebrate this guy's life, rather than mourn over how "abused" he was as a rich, talented, handsome celebrity.
 
For the record,

In memorandum of John DeLorean

DeLorean came to us as one of the first and only images that embodied a Hollywood icon 
in the automobile industry. Realizing the American love for the automobile, he pioneered 
the GTO. Once his first baby was done, he was not going to allow himself to be tied down 
to someone else's dreams. He left General Motors and went onto working on his dream, 
his child, his passion: the DeLorean DMC-12.
