A buddy of mine's father-in-law is a certified Delorean Tech. He says that they are poor, poor cars (to say the least). The latest one he had in the shop was essentially coming apart (due to the glue/adhesive that holds a lot of the car together losing its grip after 20+ years).

The old ones are cool to look at, dogs to drive. I'd like to see a new one though.
They are dogs, it's a shame though, Smokey Yunick and Delorean where plotting together to design a more powerful motor, but old Smokey gave up the Ghost before anything could be created, which would have been interesting to see what they would have made.
