The auto-dimming mirror in my '11 Miata is stupid. It's a heavier and more complicated piece that is inconsistent in when it dims.

Some guy came up to me and said he had a car that was just like a DeLorean. It was a 300zx.

Sweet! Congratulations on the car. My AC broke so the heat has been a problem this summer. Both of my window regulators broke and after the huge hassle of installing the passenger side myself I paid to have the driver side done.

This movie was probably the start of my car obsession as well. Once I was fixated on the DeLorean it was all that I wanted as a kid. I've had it 13 years now and it was totally worth it. Those who complain about its 9.5 second 0-60 time are missing how utterly awesome nearly everything else is about driving the car.…

Seeing the car presented in this scene absolutely blew my mind as a kid. It started my obsession with the car and even watching it now I feel like a kid again.

That's far more than platform sharing, they just badge-engineered the same car.

I'm guessing in that position she's what a certain rich fetish-loving type would pay to be a windshield washer nozzle.

Not at all. The guys at the DeLorean service center showed me pictures of repairs they've done. I'm amazed at how mangled a panel can be and still straightened. They brush out scratches with a Scotch Brite pad or a flapper wheel and it looks as good as new. I've got a dent on my quarter panel that they say is an easy…

It had fuel injection, although it was a Bosch mechanical system.

Can't even reach that. It stupidly smacks against the pin at 85.

I don't think anybody in the DeLorean community thinks that the man was anywhere close to a role model in his personal life. He was known for being a ruthless businessman, but he did have some fantastic ideas in his time at GM. One doesn't get to be next in line for president of that company for nothing. I'm sure that…

I can't speak as to what happened in their own home or on his personal time, so I may be. His daughter spoke at a DeLorean convention years back and painted a much different picture about what went on. She was nothing but nice and I imagine would want to distance herself from anything regarding her father's darker…

I hate those and I have two cars with 85 mph speedos. One is a truck that I don't exactly want to go over 85 in. The other is a car that will happily accelerate until the needle is pinned at 85 and keep on going. At that point I know I'm speeding but I have no idea how by how much.

What's wrong with the stainless panels? They hold up incredibly well on a 32 year old car. A simple wash leaves water beading up and running off like new.

Upgrading the headers, cat and exhaust are good for 20 hp and better fuel economy according to DMC. From there you can have work on the heads or a tuned factory engine with supercharger. The stage 2 engine and exhaust work are good for about 200 horsepower total which isn't bad for a 2800 pound car. I'm not sure what…

Seeing a Bricklin driving around is a rare treat for me. I've only seen a couple in real life.

You are right about that. The car is incredibly fun to cruise around in and I don't even mind the 130 hp when you're not pushing that much weight. It will comfortably peg itself against the stupid mandated 85 mph speedometer and is plenty competent on the freeway.

One of the few frustrating things about owning a DeLorean is dealing with people who will flat out argue with you when you politely explain the DeLorean drug dealing entrapment fiasco that ended with his acquittal. For some reason I've had people get angry and insist the cars were used to smuggle cocaine.

Yes, so the car isn't exactly surprising in its construction.

Starts at $41,200. It uses the Mazda3's platform, and the same roof mechanism as the old Ford Focus. So why is it $6,000 more than a VW EOS?
