If you consider that the conversions have destroyed a conservative estimate of 150 cars out of 9,000, then it's responsible for handicapping a minimum of 1.6% of all DeLoreans produced. It's also a constantly increasing proportion, as more cars are converted and none have ever been documented to be restored to stock.  
> 
> It also undermines Oliver and Terry Holler's efforts to say that what they do is a defense of time machine conversions.  What you're saying is that their work and dedication would be worthless without the car.  The car does not raise awareness for anything but BTTF on its own.  It's only by their effort that there's a correlation.  If they did not have a passion for it and had the car sit alone, it wouln't be nearly the same.  They work with the car as a prop and a gateway for attention.

> While I can separate the movie from the car, the general public has a great deal of difficulty in doing so and this has been a well-documented bane of DeLorean owners for years.  If it weren't a detriment, then why are the comments and stupid jokes/actions of passers-by that are directly related to the movie such a problem for owners?
> 
> I also believe that there would still be a network of DeLorean service centers; Grady existed before the movies and has been in business since.  To use the Bricklin analogy; there are multiple service centers for the cars, of which under 3,000 were produced.  Proportionately, they have a better ratio of dedicated service centers to cars; even if you go by there being only two for the Bricklin, then it's one service center per 1,500 cars.  The DeLorean has Houston, Florida, Midwest, California, and Grady.  That's 1 center per 1,800 cars.  Though, there probably wouldn't be silly things like DeLorean wine or luggage.
