Re: Delorean Hovercraft on MG (final thoughts)

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

I just got to see the episode of Monster Garage. It was a cross
between Survivor and Junk Yard Wars. It appears that JJ wanted to pick
a fight with one of the team members and Rick was the unlucky one.
(BTW we saw his car with 2 engines this weekend and it is an awesome
project.) I believe that the hovercraft was destined to fail, they
MUST have planned way in advance that it was to be crushed. You don't
just call the Navy and have them crush a car on short notice! The show
sacrificed TWO Deloreans but what was destroyed seemed to be mostly
the fiberglass underbodies and some damaged panels. Most of the
interior parts and drivetrain where removed so those cars will live on
in other Deloreans. I wouldn't get too worked up over this, it seems
like Don didn't seem to upset. I just hope he hasn't hurt his
reputation being involved with the likes of JJ. I am sure he is a much
better mechanic than he was given credit for in the show.
