Title: My next door neighbor owns a DeLorean.
Post by: michigancat on May 21, 2008, 12:20:33 PM: I want to ask him questions, such as, "Why the f*ck do you own a DeLorean?" and stuff, but he's pretty standoffish.

Anyone have any good DeLorean-related stories I can use as "icebreakers"?

I will next time I see it out.

He was washing it in his driveway last night and I saw him driving it last week. So it gets some quality use.

[20] The newly produced cars will have a base price of $57,500 and have new stainless steel frames and lighter fiberglass underbodies, with optional extras such as GPS, an enhanced "Stage 2" engine, and possibly a new modern interior. The cars will be made with 80% old parts and the rest new.[21]

Guys, I'm sure he gets your retarded BTF references all the time.

You're the one who's excited because your neighbor has a DeLorean. Why are you excited? Because of the car's famous ties to BttF. Might want to re-think who the retard is in this thread.

Post by: catdude33 on May 21, 2008, 02:18:45 PM: Maybe ask him if he thinks he's better than you because he dirves a fancy Delorean. This would potentially kill two birds with one stone. It serves as your icebreaker, and if he says "yes" you've figured out the reason why he absolutely hates living next door to you. Win-Win imo.

He kind of looks like a Euro. Has the "Hanson" hair.

He actually looks a lot like the kid on the right.

I know, it's weird. There is another neighbor that is standoffish. He drives a Buick from the 80's...with an alarm system. Everyone else is pretty nice.

No, De Lorean guy is a nurse or something. Buick guy is just a hipster douchebag. Been in buick's house...too social for growing. (buick's roommates)

I'm guessing neither married. DeLoreans are pretty much the territory of singles....as well as 80's Buicks but for different reasons.

Buick: A few randoms, but no "steadies". Has an afro-pony-tail and a mustaches.

Post by: FBWillie on May 23, 2008, 05:26:30 PM: There's actually a group of people that turn deloreans into BTF cars. Was out drinking in KC a while ago for a buddies bachelor party and came out of some bar to a whole line of douche bags leaning up against their cars just waiting for drunk chicks to ask them for a ride or something. They all had the neon lights under the cars and mock-up flux capacitors. I wasn't sure if they were just passing through or actually lived there as I didn't think to look at the liscense plates.

I just assumed there was some convention in town.

I saw some Jaguar XKE's in the paper for around $3000 in the 80's.

Way better for collecting.

The guy guess wronged. the Delorean hasn't appreciated.

Still it's a cool car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Lorean_DMC-12

Stainless steel was a mistake though. Aluminum would have been lighter and faster.

However, United States emissions regulations required that parts such as catalytic converters be added to the vehicle before it could be sold there. This caused a 40 horsepower (30 kW) reduction to the vehicle's power output, a loss which seriously impeded the DMC-12's performance. When this combined with the suspension system changes, the US version was regarded as disappointing.
