I'd like to see the stares you get when you pass your neighbors in that thing.

ack the delorean is on that list i like that car. the stainless steel body would be great in modern cars. in ny rust kills our cars b4 they die of mechanical problems mostly.

stainless steel body would be great

Ever see one? They were fugly w/o having any paint IMO. A car needs paint.

the delorean was a neat car but it had all kinds of problems. at least the ones i had seen in the shop. from electrical to mechanical. and getting parts was no fun . it had some nifty gull wing doors and stainless steel body. but evilhorace is right they should of painted it. also it was doomed like the vixon motor-home - built from 1986-1989

back in the day this was the talk of camper world as motor-home of the future.
587 Vixen motorhomes were built by Vixen Motor Co., Pontiac, Michigan, between 1986 - 1989, when the company closed. Retail $40-$53k. 21-30 mpg. Three models: lift-top BMW diesel motor homes with 5 speed manual trans-axle, Fixed-top BMW diesel limos with 5 spd manual Trans-axle, and high-top GM V6 gas engine motor homes with four speed automatic Trans-axle. They have a 148" wheelbase and the wheels are 5" wider apart than standard automobiles. Empty weight is 5100#, GVW is 6700#
http://stannerair.hypermart.net/Vixenhome.htm they got great gas mpg.19-31 depending on model.
but lack of sales and cash flow killed them .

Actually, the gas station right next to my work had a Delorean sitting outside every day for like 5 years. Don't know if it worked or not, but it was always fun to look at. It certainly wasn't any worse for sitting outside.
