Most important of course is that you are not seriously injured, if at all. Next, I 
would contact DMC Houston to see about getting a quote on repairing your 
car. Video tape it, take some photos, and get all possible photos. Now granted 
I've no idea as to the extent of the damage to you car, hoever, I've always 
figured that if this same situation happened to my car, that a new chassis 
front-end, repair/replace the front pontoon, and straighten the fenders out, and 
the car would be back on the road. However, the final verdict of course would 
be up to the DeLorean collision experts. The parts supply is available, so now 
is as good a time as any to put it to use. Obtain a quote, and submit it into the 
adjuster. If you want to keep the car, you're going to have to do your own 
footwork here.

Don't give up hope just yet. IMO, recieving a "salvage" title is worth the trouble 
of keeping the car on the road.
