I rented a DeLorean for a day!

Kinja'd!!!

Almost 40 years after its debut, this stainless steel machine drips more nostalgia than just about any other car on the planet. Immortalized by the iconic Back To The Future films, the spirit of this car is etched into our collective consciousness.

While it’s fun to reminisce about these classic movies, the nostalgia clouds our memory of the DeLorean DMC-12 and draws a veil over the scandals and fiascos surrounding the car’s history. The real story of DeLorean’s rise to prominence and its swift, spectacular collapse is truly stranger than fiction.

If you’ve got a spare 12 minutes, feel free to check out the video I just made with this totally rad wedge shaped wonder:

Haha, I’ll forgive you! You need to post here more often in between videos about your automotive exploits! :P

How is the rest of your fleet doing anyway? :)

I will try to post here more often! Went through a lull. Fleet is doing... okay. I have too many cars and not enough talent or time to fix them all.  Next big project is to get the brakes fixed on the ASC/ McLaren Turbo Grand Prix!!

Ooo! Good luck! Any chance you could just replace them with a system that uses more available parts...?
