[DMCForum] Re: BTTF car up for auction..

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

In a word, Fuck George Barris! George is a no-talent hack. It was his 
brother who was always building "Kustoms". Ever notice how after his 
brother died, Barris stopped cranking out cars?

All Barris does is obtain a license for a car, and then builds shoddy 
replicas to parade around on his own. Even allot of the cars that he 
currently has are nothing more than replicas of the originals that 
his brother built. And most of the time his attention to detail is so 
inept, he won't even use the same car.

Barris did NOT built the BTTF DeLorean, the Futura Batmobile, 
nor "Black Beauty" from The Green Hornet.

Barris also has a VERY nasty habit of trying to pass off replica cars 
as the real thing. Which is what got his ass into so much trouble 
down in Florida, when a museum auctioned off a Ford Torino with a 
body kit, advertised as an original car from the Batman TV series.

As a fabricator, Barris' shop has cranked out the most mediocre cars 
that I have ever laid my eyes on. Take a look, and you'll see that 
most of *his* cars are square, with rounded, bubble corners. The only 
thing that makes them look so unique, are the wild paint jobs.

I don't care how many cars that they house, what kind of archives 
they keep, or how *knowlegable* their curators are. I have no respect 
for the Peterson Automotive Museum, since they are willing to give a 
fraud like Barris his own exhibit.

Oh, and while I'm on my rant about automotive hacks, screw Boyd 
Coddington too.
