Just before my Sebring broke the timing belt a second time, she had just over 243,000 miles. Soon it will be time to get her back on the road, of course, my older nephew has expressed an interest...
61 in a 55, and you were ticketed for that? Where I live that will barely get you noticed on a two lane, and on the highways will have every car passing you. Of course, here in Virginia, our cops are likely waiting for the person doing something for which the ticket will incite one of the new, four digit fees. For which, BTW, I extend one digit, if you follow.
Shall we get back to the topic, which was someone's Brokeback To The Future edition DeLorean? I was thinking of this and trying to remember the non-emergency number for the taste police. You should have this number handy to place the call should you ever see such an eye-searing horror again.
Aside from the merely asinine (winged DeLorean), those cars were none too fast as they rolled off the assembly line. I'd have to go back to my archives for the December '81 (?) issue of Car and Driver, for the comparison test (DeLorean, Corvette, Ferrari, and Porsche) where the stainless steel wonder actually took 9 seconds to reach 60 mph. This should come as no surprise, as that was, after all, 130 hp moving that 3400 lbs. Only the manual transmission kept it ahead of the Volvo 760 that had a similar motor.
