Spotted this in Virginia and thought that my fellow gen xers would love it.

Brilliant!

You mean to tell me they made a DeLorean...out of a time machine?!
Three3Jane@reddit
There's one that comes to local cars & coffee meets in NoVA that's tricked out to look like Eddie Van Halen's guitar!
Positive-Teaching737@reddit (OP)
Wow, I've never seen a wrapped DeLorean that's pretty freaking cool
sitewolf@reddit
1.21 gigawatts!
t_bone_stake@reddit
What the hell is a gigwatt!
sitewolf@reddit
never saw Back to the Future?
t_bone_stake@reddit
I’ve seen it, just not in a long time
reachers_toothbrush@reddit
English Doc!
punkdrummer22@reddit
My half brother has one and I drove it a few times.
Biggest piece of shit I've ever driven.
Select-Regret-9840@reddit
For real. A buddy has one and it's absolutely ass.
reachers_toothbrush@reddit
so Tom Wilson (Biff Tannen) wasn't lying in his song

Lol
phunny-words@reddit
Or is it from the future??
indicus23@reddit
Wow, an unmodded one! I've heard they're actually more rare now than ones that have been made up to look like the time machine.

A blast from the past..... or the future?
Oldman_Dick@reddit
Literally?
WileyCoyote7@reddit
Haha “2FUTURE” on the plates. Classic.
Positive-Teaching737@reddit (OP)
I thought that was clever too 🙂
percydaman@reddit
Was so disappointed when I grew up and learned that aside from these things looking cool, they were overall pieces of crap.
Positive-Teaching737@reddit (OP)
I wondered what engine was in it? I can't remember from my youth.
Reddiculusness@reddit
it was like a Volvo V6 I think
Positive-Teaching737@reddit (OP)
I mean that's not awful but it's not super
Reddiculusness@reddit
it was under 150HP
Positive-Teaching737@reddit (OP)
Oh man gross....
Reddiculusness@reddit
my Abarth 500 had 135 base HP and wasn't even 2000 lbs , before the fun programming . Of course that's apples and oranges .
Positive-Teaching737@reddit (OP)
But the lighter the car the better. It flies right? I don't even know what an abarth is... And I grew up in Detroit, Michigan. I thought I knew all the cars LOL
Reddiculusness@reddit
Fiat 500 Abarth Turbo 5 speed
it looked like this one , sadly someone forgot to stop at a 4 way, and she's gone to the scrapyard in the sky .
Positive-Teaching737@reddit (OP)
Ahhhh
Rare_Magazine_5362@reddit
In my neighborhood…
Positive-Teaching737@reddit (OP)
Wow! I don't think I've ever seen them like that before
Rare_Magazine_5362@reddit
It’s so crazy having them down the road from me like that. It’s like a dealership from 1982 just sitting in the middle of a weird neighborhood in Houston Texas.
Positive-Teaching737@reddit (OP)
It really does look like a dealership. They look new. I wonder if they're saving them for movies?
sitewolf@reddit
Fuzzy memories say the company had made a lot of parts (and a lot of molds for parts) for these cars so they actually could be 'new' in that the parts were just created.
Rare_Magazine_5362@reddit
No, they’re just selling them but they’re at a premium as they are all essentially rebuilt DeLorean. As I understand it it’s kind of a hub for DeLorean enthusiasts but that’s about it.
LetUsTryThisOnceMore@reddit
I would still LOVE to have one.
Impressive_Crazy_223@reddit
Correction--a blast from the future
Positive-Teaching737@reddit (OP)
Oh my God it's so true
Ferrindel@reddit
There’s an exotic car festival every Saturday morning in downtown Redmond. We usually see the local DeLorien club show up. One of them has a second that they split in half and converted to a trailer, all decked out in Seahawks colors.
