First let me say that personally I don't care what anybody does with 
their own Delorean, or Civic or Corvette etc etc etc.  All that 
matters to me is what I do to MY Delorean.  However, while you make 
many vaild points, you anology is flawed by your own wording: "you 
still think a custom DeLorean is "destroyed", you should go to a car 
show some day and check out the custom hot rods. About the only thing 
stock on these cars is the body."  A hot rod is SUPPOSED to be highly 
modified and isn't any particular car when finished, they are made 
for the design factor and not to be a particular homage to a specific 
car.  In fact many Hot Rods are not based on any particular car at 
all but instead are complete custom from frame on up.  That is what 
a "Hot Rod" is.  

So yeah I would consider a Hot Rod based on a '32 Ford to be a 
drestroyed '32 Ford but not a destroyed car because in its 
destruction a great Hot Rod has been created.  But again, inregards 
to what other people do with their cars...who cares.
