Re: [DML] Gold DeLorean driving southbound on I-65 in Alabama today?!

["cbl1739" <cbl302@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Highly unlikely it was a TRUE Gold Plated Delorean,since from what I understand the Original gold plating was akin to being like a cheap gold plated watch...meaning just like a cheap plated watch that with ANY rubbing it will rub off,hence the reason anyone in contact with the Gold Delorean at the factory were required to wear special overalls and soft gloves....put it this way..the gold on the REAL Gold Plated Delorean,if you could remove it...you could cup it in the palm of your hand...... and cruising at and above the speed limit is equivalent to sandblasting debris against the Gold plating...A quick way to turn a Gold Plated Delorean back into a natural Stainless Steel Delorean!!

What they most likely saw was a GOLD PAINTED Delorean.
