You did a 3rd gear roll-on and you had him until 88 mph?

Hahaha, nice find, Alex.

My buddy's family has one of those in their collection. Looks cool, but sounds like an absolute POS when it's fired up and running around. Can't beat the fact you don't have to paint them (unfinished aluminum exterior). Just get the dings out with Dentpro I guess, hehe.

The Delorean actually has a Type 304 stainless steel body (the body panels are actually attached to fiberglass underpanels )

Stainless steel, you're probably right. Either way, I just remember it had that unfinished metal look, with a real 80's American fit and finish feel to it. I don't know what I was thinking there, but yeah, goes to show I did NOT do homework on the DeLorean, haha.

Every time I see one I think of the car magazine review where they said the handling was like "trying to steer a sofa". My business partner had one and they were right!
