In rememberance of John DeLorean's passing, we have this BBCnews article about how his DMC12 is faring in the UK. We spot DeLoreans toodling around our neighborhood once or twice a year... about as often as we see Lamborghinis but far less often than Ferraris (being near the biggest Ferarri dealership in the mid-Atlantic has its advantages). There seems to be one person around here who owns one still in its classic brushed metal finish, while another has one painted red. Why paint them? Well, you can't do conventional bodywork and maintain that finish, so I'm figuring the red one must've gotten pranged at some point.

Still, I certainly wouldn't push one out of my garage!
