Having worked at Hardin Olds, Honda and DeLorean...I got to see how poorly they were out together...they were worse than the 80's Olds as far as build quality....if you can believe it.Also it took forever to get parts! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Bruce, have you watched The Car Show with Adam Carolla? I think it's on SPEED. In any event, there was an episode where I think they raced a Nissan Altima or something against it and the DeLorean got crushed. It was slow as hell. Was amusing to watch. haha.
