Weird. I walked right by a parked DeLorean just last night.

That sucks. He was a genious. I was really hoping for a new Delorean too. I enjoyed the original a lot when I had one.

Re: John DeLorean dies at 80
It would be great to see a Delorean tribute car. Those would sell like hot cakes.

It's sad to know he's gone, especially since I once owned one of his cars. Aside from his stigmas, he was truly a great man.
Do many realize he was also responsible for the Pontiac GTO?

Re: John DeLorean dies at 80
That's a damn shame, he was a great man, they have YET to come up with aerodynamics that matched or exceeded his on an automobile, yes he was responsible for the GTO and a few others and I believe he designed the stingray vette. He was a genious and a one of a kind, no one else with half of his intelligence will probably walk the earth. He was sort of a role model to me R.I.P. John Delorean. You will be remembered.

Re: John DeLorean dies at 80
Just a side thought but I bet this is causing pure hell in the Delorean forum!
