    Its 1985!!!!


    Well technically 1981. That's when the first DeLorean made its debut. But its popularity sky rocketed with the Pop Culture hit trilogy Back to the Future!

    Well they're doing it again! No not another movie; they're bringing the car back. Rumours have circualted for a long time, but today, entrepreneur Stephen Wynne has officially announced to the Associated Press, that it is making a comeback in limited numbers!

    "After working on these cars practically every day for 25 years, we've identified most of the issues and replaced them," Wynne said. "If there's a better part available, we'll use it. If there's a better way to install it, we'll do it."

    The one limiting factor is the doors. The company has enough for about 500 cars, though it's important to keep some in stock for repairs and such. Beyond that, Espey said, the company is studying its options.

    Enhancements to the new cars will include an improved stainless-steel frame, a stronger but lighter fiberglass underbody and electronics upgraded from the disastrous systems in the early DeLoreans. A peppier engine - the original cars' 135-horsepower was a downer for performance enthusiasts - will be available as an option.

    "The base price of a new DeLorean is expected to be $57,500 - roughly the same price a 1981 DeLorean would have cost in today's dollars. The company will sell the cars from its shop in Humble and affiliate shops in Bonita Springs, Fla.; Crystal Lake, Ill.; Bellevue, Wash.; and Orange County, Calif."

    Now I just have to go and count my penny jar.

    /excellent.
