From the time I first saw Back to the Future, I have wanted a DeLorean. Completely impractical (from a maintenance/financial standpoint) and completely awesome, it's pretty much the coolest car ever designed. Except, of course, for a DeLorean which has been converted into a time machine.
At PAX today, I had the opportunity to sit inside a replica of Doctor Emmett Brown's DeLorean and talk with Dennis Lenart of Telltale Games about their upcoming Back to the Future episodic game series. You can see what happened in the video above.
Right now, I can't even begin to imagine how my career as a blogger could get any better. I'm honestly a little worried that I've peaked and it's all downhill from here. Thank God I have this video, which will probably be running on a loop in my home for the remainder of my natural life.

It's not as bad a car as most people think it is.
For $40,000 they'll update everything to modern standards and supercharge the engine.
Actually, the true problem relies in the engine and handling.
The U.S. safety reg. dumbed down the engine performance due to emissions. The car's height was actually increased as well to comply with safety rules, thus affecting handling.
Weak(er) engine + poor(er) handling = heavy handling and slower accel. due to a lower power to weight ratio. Which in turn makes the car FEEL heavy.
At about 1250kg, it's not really heavy at all (common misconception).
Very awesome for you though. :)
