    The DeLorean from Back to the Future

    You know the DeLorean came before Back to the Future, right?

    DeLorean himself is basically what would happen if a guy tried to do what Musk did in the auto industry without being able to use a government carbon credit program to essentially get bankrolled by the rest of the auto industry. He pissed everyone off, delivered a subpar car that looked unique, then got busted for cocaine trafficking (though he was found not guilty by way of police entrapment) and went bankrupt.

    It’s a sick as hell car though, I would love a modern, electric version.

      I actually did not know this. Thanks for telling me. I never see any on the road so I wasn’t aware they were a thing before the movie.

      Agreed. It would be a treat.
