I am really surprised that this is a sustainable business.

According my link above “ Total pre-owned car sales since inception in the late 90s have numbered more than 250 cars.” I guess DeLorean owners want to keep their cars running forever.

Convert to Electric?



San Antonio, TX (in the old city)


"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Eli Weisel

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater

It'll be a snap to convert them to electric, if they already have the factory flux capacitor.

They'll be limited to 87mph though.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

It’s not DMC. It’s a new company that bought all of DMC’s inventory at fire sale. They are supposedly working on a new electric Delorean but that’s probably vaporware. The CGI promo shots were great though.

Not unusual in the defunct auto brand world.

Manufacturer goes under completely or just stops production of a model/line, someone else buys the brand and tries to carry on. There are many examples.

Lotus stopped producing the model Seven in 1972. Caterham bought the rights to the name and design, and you can buy a 2024-version of the Seven today.

A chain of builders have made AC/Shelby Cobras for decades (“continuation cars”), despite Shelby ending production in 1967.

Here's another interesting brand juggling

"MG cars had their roots in a 1920s sales promotion sideline of Morris Garages..."

"MG Motor is an automotive brand owned by the Shanghai-based, state-owned carmaker SAIC Motor. It is a continuation of the original MG marque, a British brand that was established in Oxford, UK in 1924. SAIC Motor gained control of the brand in December 2007 by acquiring Nanjing Automobile Corporation (NAC), a smaller Chinese company that first acquired the brand from the defunct MG Rover Group in 2005. Currently, MG is a division within SAIC's passenger vehicle branch."

Will New MG Electric Sports Car Come to the U.S.?

Would the resurrected Pinto be a WMD? They were known for catching fire during a rear-end collision.

Well, Ford did bring back the Bronco after a quarter of a century absence. Who knows?

How about this Pinto?

I had a difficult time watching Slumdog, as I was entranced with Freida.

Back when I was a young undergraduate college student, a fellow student had a Pinto with the words “1975 Pinto Deathmobile” painted on the sides. People tended to give that guy a wide berth on the road.

MG is nothing but a name, Caterham is everything but the name.
