AMC = American Motor Company (jeeps, Javelins, etc.)

Deloreans = DMC, Delorean Motor Company

And technically, those are DMC-12's

the and and d has a letter in between. Shame Shame.

I still say the front of those cars look like crap. The flux capacitor wasn't even an option you had to custom do that mod, sure beats the hell out of a turbo tho ...

I'd take one for the simple fact that nobody has one around here and I think they're f-in awesome. What other car hits 88mph and takes you to whatever time you want?

Meh...

DeLorean DMC-12's were crap. Really bad crap.

- Electric Locks.. no manual back up, and you couldn't reach outside the door with the key to unlock yourself when the battery eventually died every 4 months because:
- The alternator was shyte.
- WAY underpowered Renault engine.
- Flimsy mono-cocque composite pan.
- CRAP gas tube shocks that wouldn't hold the gull-doors upright, so you would get clunked on the head by a remarkably heavy door when they started to wear out a bit.
- Pissant construction all around (poor body gaps).
- Fingerprints would literally BAKE onto the stainless steel skin
- Rear engine meant a little extra room in the cabin, but not enough to put the single-guy's golf bag in there... unless you liked to kiss the steering wheel.


And finally:

- NO COKE IN THE DAMNED CARS!!!!

That's what happens when you finance your debt.

John DeLorean had a GREAT deal going with the Irish Gov't, but because he wanted to make the cars affordable, they cut way too many corners, and the car was basically a white elephant.

"NO COKE IN THE DAMNED CARS"

oh come on, he was set- up



Re: Enuf AMC's?

Dont forget, he was convicted for cocaine use and such....

Used money from the car production to finance his habit.....

John is also the person most closely lated to coming up with the GTO namesake...

He was put out to pasture by Pontiac, and forced to make a living somehow....

Nuff said....

He left GM in the late 70's. He didn't like the management, and wanted to make his own cars. If he had a habit, it just made it easier for him to be reached out to... but the cars still sucked hardcore.
