[DMCForum] Re: John's cars?

["Josh Porter" <joshp1986@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dang!! I knew that he did a lot of the long time successful cars but 
did not realize the multitute. I noticed the Vega, I'm converting 
one into a drag car for a guy in northern Arkansas, in auto tech 
class. I've always made fun of the car and that the designer must 
have been short, Mr. DeLorrean wan't short and he knew what he was 
doing. Every car that he had a hand in is the top of it's class in 
everything for street racing in my area of hickville. Like the TA. 
Real popular with the street racers.

I got myself trying to cry at the vollyball game I was just at, good 
thing there weren't any good looking girls there :-) AH, if there 
were, they can get over it.
