That show was pure trash IMO. Every character on the show was a giant stereotype from original DeLorean owners being greedy and shallow; to women and gays being inherently promiscuous and weak. I was shocked at how bad all of it really was, and to the extent all of the overtones were carried. I suppose that's why I stick with my non-fiction programming LOL. I guess on the positive, at least they stayed away from the DeLoreans are lemons stereotype.

I'm sure I'm not alone in the fact that I'm tired of seeing negativity about the car and its followers in the media. I suppose I should go along with the notion that any publicity is good publicity, but I yearn to see Dream Car Garage or Two Guys Garage work on a DeLorean. Not to mention it would be nice for My Classic Car or Car Crazy to do a segment on the car and its current following. Headline News recently did a segment on 40 years of the Mustang. Why not see if they'd be interested in what has happened to the DeLorean in the last 20 years, and get some footage to them from Pigeon Forge? With as diverse of a population as we as owners and enthusiats are, surely we could find a way to get the marque and community in the media in a positive light. The Car and Driver segment a few years back was excellent. How can we make something like that happen again?
