you'd think that a kids from metro Detroit would have known this car was build on the Emerald Isle... I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't know this factoid.

Good one. Thanks for sharing.

and then that one time when I wasted an hour reading more and more about John DeLorean...

    In 1999, DeLorean declared personal bankruptcy after fighting over 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 Donald Trump and converted to a golf course.

What's really gonna blow your mind is that not only can you still buy a brand new one, but that you can do so because Big Lots purchased their entire inventory of parts.

nah... I knew about that. I think I even priced one for shits and giggles when they announced it.

The reality is - it's kind of a dog of a car... but sure looks cool.

Yeah. It was supposed to have a V8, not a french V6.
