Default So this happened last SUnday

So this happened this past Sunday. Driving up the street to my house I glanced over at a street I was driving by and saw three Deloreans in my friend’s driveway. Not believing what I saw I went back driving my 79 L82 survivor to take a look. I pulled up, got out of the Vette and walked over to take a look. At the same time all the Delorean owners left their cars to go check out the Vette, it was a really strange moment.

I'll add to that strangeness in a "small world" kind of way
Last Sunday afternoon when driving home (DD pulling the boat, not the vette) we passed a Delorean going the other way and I'm excitedly pointing it out to my wife and daughter doing the "you know like in back to the future..."
Now this was on highway #12 North of Beaverton in Ontario so doubtfully it was one of the ones you saw.... unless...Flux Cap

three circa 2030 AD astral-travelers from the red planet disembark to wonder in amazement; they'd only read of extinct libtards.

Someone bought the surplus and the patents a couple years back to reproduce them as a kit like the AC Shelby Cobras....dont know what ever happened with it. There was a car law that a lot of small producers were waiting on that Would eliminate the crash test requirements for them. I think its still in congress some where

My brother-in-law had a 1981 DeLorean. I remember going with him to the dealer to look at them when new. That dealer also happened to be a Ferrari dealership and they always had a 512BB in the showroom. AH memories.

I was 11 at the time and spent quite a few years riding around as the third person by crawling into the luggage compartment behind the seats

Still have my DeLorean poster hanging in my garage.

I had one 15 years ago. Truthfully, it was a **** car. If it wasn’t for the movie it would be worthless unless it was an extremely low mile car!
