Other than your bike what do you drive?

A Houston company bought all of DMC's left over stock and says they are going to make a limited number of "new" DeLorean's out of the stock from the original factory in Ireland. I don't think it ever came to be though.

 

They are in production, they redesigned the frame to be a X shape or something. http://www.delorean.com/

My daily (winter) vehicle is a 1993 Mazda B2600i pickup
Also my girlfriend drives my '03 Cavalier

 

Delorean.com (Houston, TX) bought everything from "Big Lots" in the mid '80's and they've been sitting on it ever since. I've been buying my parts from them ever since I bought my D-Lo.

The new frames are stainless by Pierce Design and are almost identical to the originals. The originals were also of an X-design. There are a few improvements, but basically they are the same.

Believe me, I know ever nut and weld on my car, and I know it's history, the company's, and the man's history intimately.

 

my baby hauler is an '01 jeep grand cherokee limited - that gets 20-24 on the highway, and if i abuse it, i get about 13 around town.
my other toy is my '79 chevy monte carlo. before the recent cam swap she gave me a whopping 6 mpg. hopefully i'll be a little more efficient with the new cam (the old cam was left over from my buddy's 400 small block in his circle track car.)

 

Not telling..... You guys would laugh at me

 

Rob,

Belle (God love her) just confessed to loving mini-vans so I don't think we'll laugh at you. What is it, are you driving one of the Shriner's tiny parade cars?

 

Two F150 extended cab pickups. One is a '97 with 208,000 miles on it. Is currently in the shop. Figured it was finally time to take care of her. She gave me so many miles without so much as a wimper. And some if not most of them were not so nice miles. I HATE working on my own truck. The other is an '04 with 120,000 miles. Put way more money in maintenance on the newer one than the old one.
I did have to take all the audio out of the truck before going into the shop. So, I guess I did have to work on it before someone else could work on it. Oh well, guess I could have taken it to a reputable shop, but it would have cost me 3 times as much.

 

I had a ,78 Monte Carlo.
They came stock from the factory with those soft cams, in the 305.
If you make it past 70-80K with out it puking you were usually alright.
I still dig that body style, I believe it was only a three year run.

 

yah, the original cam was a joke. i finally have one that's a little more appropriate in there now.
it was a 3 year run, and they changed something every year (and mine's a super rare half model year.) good luck finding body parts :?

 

1994 Ford Escort SW with 257,000 miles
2000 Ford E150 Conversion Van with 170,000 miles (4 kids)

On occasion, a 1973 Mercury Montego w/ 35,000 miles that my Father-in-Law stores at our house.

 

i drive a 2006 scion Xb that had nerds on call all over it orginal pain is silver but now its vineal with bright green and yellow that has a nerdy guy on the side

 

Actually its not that bad. I drive a 96 Astro with about 96,000 miles on it. The good thing about my Astro is last year when I was considering selling my Seca I looked at the Astro and said to myself "that's all i'll have to drive?" I'll keep the Seca - got to look cool sometime

2000 Dakota extended cab with the 4.7 ltr V-8 and as soon as it warms up a 1985 Maxim 700. My wife drives an 2005 Neon.

 

For you Monte Carlo lovers I had a 74 Monte blue with white landau, a 454 with posi-trac. Had this when my son was born 26 years ago. It didn't pass too many gas stations but the cam never went flat either!


Got rid of it. Had to decide either keep the kid or the car. I miss that car..... Love the kid though.

 

Mark me down for another Subaru. Mine's a '97 Leggy wagon. Or as I like to call it, my SubarU-Haul...

I had a '92 Impreza I loved that car, it loved CV joint boots. When I was going through my divorce I had two cars... the 'Roo and a '98 Skylark. I figured I'd keep the Skylark....... that was a bad idea! Now I have a mini van... <3 mini vans!! Everyone must own a mini van!!

 

I am finally down to two vehicles... my bike and my 2001 S-10 Pewter colored truck. I just donated my 1992 VW GTI to charity to get it out of the garage (so that the bike has a place to be played with )

2004 Dodge Dakota SLT ( 4.7L Auto )
and finally...

1968 Pontiac Firebird ( 6.6L Smallblock 400 )... 12 mpg... downhill... with a tailwind... in neutral... engine off.. lol
