I've met a guy in high school in my town who owns a big laserdisc collection AND a Delorean. Never actually seen it myself, but the kid must be loaded.

There's a Kosher Israeli restaurant in Oakland I've been to, and someone who lives next door has a DeLorean!

No offense, but a painted Delorean is an abomination, and a sin against the car.  Defeats the whole purpose of the cars design.

Why do people do that, anyway? People see my license plate every day when I drive down the street. Why is it OK for them to see it and not random people on the Internet?

Somewhat true, yet paint looks far better than damaged body panels.  What was the purpose of this car anyway?  To look cool while going slow?

If all you have to do to make a car pointless is to paint it, its not a very great car, IMO.

I've never really been a huge fan of this car. The time traveling one is OK, of course, but the basic model just always seemed like it was desperate middle aged 80s douchebags obsessed with the superficial. The car looks like a Lotus or a Ferrari or something, it looks *great*. I'm a big a Giorgetto Giugiaro fan. His stuff is fantastic....but this car has one big problem; it isn't anywhere near as fast as it looks. In fact, it isn't anywhere near as fast as a Golf GTI from the same year (to name another al Giorgetto Giugiaro design that cost 1/3 as much), and that's pretty sad. Its really just a total turd, performace-wise.

The good thing about them is that they are pretty cheap. You can get them for less than $20k easy, and I suppose that for $10k more or so you could put a decent powertrain in it.

When you find out the answer to this question please tell me.

Awesome.

In 1995 I bought a '76 Lancia Scorpion for $1 from my neighbor. He was moving and just wanted to give it to me, but I felt we needed to put something on the bill of sale. If the Scorpion isn't a Giorgetto Giugiaro design, then I'll be damned. As a matter of fact, the Scorpion looks so similar to a DeLorean, it's almost like they recycled the Scorpion design, added a few gimmicks (like wing-doors) and called it a DeLorean.

I didn't own the car long and it ended up getting sold not longer after.... I'm still upset about that. Should have kept it.

Here's a pic of one (the one I owned was metallic silver/gray, just like a DeLorean)--

A dollar?!!  What kind of shape was it in. That is a sweet car.  Me want. 

But I actually like the painted black De Lorean. There's at least one around here. You can usually see it driving around town a few times of the year, during the summer months.
