That price is actually about right for a DMC-12, assuming it was painted for aesthetic reasons and not to hide an accident. I hope it’s the former, because the car looks quite fetching in red. However, I wouldn’t hold out much hope because in this pic:

Actually I don’t think it’s damaged. It came that way, or was damaged way way back in the 1980s. It appears to be this car: http://barnfinds.com/red-1981-delorean-dmc12-with-only-981-miles/

the flux capacitor is easy and cheap, it’s the plutonium that you can’t just put together in the hardware store.

One star for you sir for referencing plutonium from Libyans over a flux capacitor.

I mean, yeah, it’s still a cool-looking car, and will turn heads anywhere it goes, especially being red.
But unless this thing includes plutonium from the Libyans, this is well more than I’d pay, or than I’d suggest someone pay, for a car that doesn’t do anything but remind them (poorly, also because red) of Back to…

Cutting the EPA to “save” the auto industry is like cutting back the police to improve your neighborhood.

Rich Texan: What about this dang environment? Back in Texas, we got rid of it, and it made everyone a lot happier.

Do you have to marry the prostitute to learn those lessons, or just pay for session or two?

I like clown shoes and I cannot lie.

The real story behind these posts is that on the Jalopnik Slack channel, Raph brought up the Z3 and we all agreed that it was fine car, which caused both Raph and I two blog two separate posts not knowing that the other was writing something. Because this was written in sort of an Orlove style, I asked him to edit it,…

I like big cars and I can not lie
You other brothers can’t deny
That when a sedan rolls by with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, want to pull up tough
‘Cause you notice that trunk was stuffed
Like the 22's she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Oh baby, I want to cruise wit’cha

Different strokes for different folks. I happen to like my cars exactly how I like my women: all sizes and colors, as long as they are well proportioned, attractive, fun, practical, low maintenance, and don’t come with a surprise penis.

I once snagged an upgrade from an econobox to a Nissan 350Z convertible for $10/day.

It literally isn’t, unless you’ve reserved a mule cart.

You cant beat this

I’m calling Bobby Bobango as the first 16 to beat a 1. Following that, I’ll be releasing my first single, The Bobby Bobango Wango Tango. Don’t tell that idiot Nugent.

Because it’s better than an “Economy” Mirage or a “Compact” Versa.

“Here we are, Michael Bay. You’ve arrived at your destination.”

Because rental car company policies are complicated because of supply issues, etc. I’ve frequently been offered a free upgrade and they almost always sound just like the offers for paid upgrades. “Would you like an upgrade to a full-size?” “Is it free?” “Yes, actually, because our lot is a few cars short we will…

Reminds of a time when an upgrade actually was in my favor.
