Does it come with a briefcase full of cocaine?*






*For you youngsters, John DeLorean was arrested with a briefcase of cocaine. Apparently, the car company was losing its arse and he was trying to raise operating capital by flipping some kilos.

factory where you can get parts for the DeLorean


Pretty sure if you just say “salvage yard” everybody will know what you mean.

Better to have people think you have a small pecker than to buy an expensive sports car and remove all doubt.

DeLorean was also found not guilty on the charges because DeLorean's lawyers successfully argued that the FBI and DEA had unfairly targeted and illegally entrapped him.

Another fun DeLorean fact:
quote:

In 1999, DeLorean declared personal bankruptcy after fighting around 40 legal cases since the collapse of DeLorean Motor Company. He was forced to sell his 434-acre estate in Bedminster, New Jersey, in 2000. It was purchased by real estate tycoon and future 45th President of the United States Donald Trump and converted to a golf course.

That’s not what it is. The guy who owns it bought all of the new parts from DeLorean that were never used when production stopped.

So it’s actully full of never used DeLorean parts.

I heard they were actually going to use the parts to make brand new DeLoreans with the unused, original factory parts.

So no, it’s not a salvage yard. It’s more like a dealership / factory.
