Hello...McFly?!

>>14162347
I like the movies, but I kind of wish the movies didn't get made so the DeLorean didn't have the normie/reddit stigma it has now.

Yes, tragic it can't be enjoyed by only the snobbiest of fans wanting to feel above everyone else for liking such a niche car.

They would gasp at the sight of me posting a pic of my car with a cat...which I shall do now.

OK weird side story...

I was just browsing the hot wheels website and came across this red version DeLorean...

and then here is what my DeLorean looked like prior to the paint strip and rebuild...

aside from the hood strip and reversed side stripe it is spot on. I'm definitely getting this for a mini before/after display.

10/10 would swap a Renault GTA engine into

Dude...that...might work AND is turboed. The DeLorean and GTA both used the same baseline PRV engine. Should be able to mount without any crazy mods.

Videos like this make me drool

Imagine finding a dream 80s/90s car in factory condition in today's day?

>1985
>all stock original
>factory plastic
>9.5 miles on odometer

Imagine finding your dream car in said condition, would you drive it?

>>14162919
Yes. Cars are meant to be driven. Fuck that collectors shit.

>>14162926

Fair enough what is your dream car in which color or options ?

>>14162935
You already saw it. There was a cat sitting on top of it :)

Luckily I own it. I just wanna rebuild the engine to Stage 2 specs (200-250 HP) and I'll be happy.

Ah yes deloreon is absolutely based I've read and seen documentaries on him and the bean counters at GM

He designed the first muscle car the GTO he designed the firebird and several others he actually worked for the packer motor company

I always felt like the Delorean was more or less just a collectors car, you can basically get a 300hp+ car for like 4000 usd or less

>FWD not based RR
>suspension design by GM, not Lotus
>no stainless steel
>no gullwing doors
>would get mistaken for a civic, not a time machine

>NA
>mechanical fuel injection
>scratchs can't be buffed, heavy as hell, repairs need special welding

Good collectors car but nothing much else

>>14163313
of course not. My DeLorean tries to kill me every time I drive it. I still love it.

I guess I can't argue with that, there has been a part lost on the vast majority of auto makers under all the soundless, saftey regulated, electronically controlled and computer assisted automobiles available today nothing beats the bare bones, loud, rickety and analog automobiles of yesteryear. i know people will argue with me, accuse me of being a poorfag with a shitbox but it's not true.

>>14162370

Don't be fooled, if the movie wasn't released you also wouldn't give a shit about the car; you're not a special butterfly, you like and know about the car for the same reasons people who visit reddit do.
