This year I bought a 1981 Delorean DMC-12. I've always loved this car and owning / driving one is everything I thought it would be. The design of this car is so unique, even though it's nearly 30 years old it still feels like you are driving something from the future. The car is not fast but has decent get up and go, I ended up buying a 5 speed for this reason. Still, with this car it isn't about the speed, it's the driving that's just fun, many say it's a gentlemens sports car and I would agree with that statement. The reactions to the car have been very positive, people really seems to love this car and it's great talking to people about the history of the vehicle and DMC.  A lot of people believe that parts are extremely hard to find but that's not really the case, even though only 9,000 were made (5k-6k left) there were parts made for well over 30,000 cars before the company went out of business.
 
Here's a picture of mine below.
 

I watched a documentary once abotu the history of the delorean. It's such an oddity. Have you ever heard the Neon neon album? Apparently it's about the maker. 
 
Still looks great.

Oh my god. You are my hero.

Wow, you got a real Delorean? That's pretty sweet. When I was little I used to think it was a prop car they only made for Back to the Future. I've never actually seen one out and about in the real world, but I guess they're not exactly on every street corner. I always liked the way the doors pop up like wings.
 
What's the trunk like? What kind of space does it have in the back of the car?

I cleaned one of those at my old job. They have the most ridiculous dash-boards. In a good way.

I love you, Jared.

Looks expensive. But I want one.

Can it go 88 MPH?

That's awesome, I've seen one parked in my neighbourhood, and always wanted them. I thought there was more surviving though. How much does one in good condition go for?

Any more pics?

I see no Flux Capacitor! Clearly you have some modifications to make. 

@yakov456: Yup, here's a couple more. 
 

Fuck... that is just too cool for school.
 
Couple of questions:
1) Can it go 88 mph?
2) Will you install a Flux Capacitor and Mr. Fusion?
3) Will you rename your dog Einstein?  If you do not have a dog, will you buy one and name him Einstein?
4) If you drive straight into the drive-in movie theater, won't you hit those Indians?

At this comic book store just down the street from me, they were totally selling a flux capacitor. I didn't buy it. Biggest mistake of my life. "

Oh man, duder. That is too cool.

Please tell me you drive down the road with this playing!

Stuff your lord of the rings, you are truly, lord of the geeks.  
 

wasn't there originally supposed to be a v12 engine it those or something?
