Ever Wanted to Own The DeLorean From Back to the Future?

Obtaining one may be easier than you think!

If you’re a member of the ever growing demographic that has more money than sense, you can drop a good chunk of money on a DeLorean (yes they’re still in business) that will come straight from the factory direct with the whole setup like the ones used in the movies.

We’re talking a DeLorean done up to the exact specifications. They come complete with a flux-capacitor, time circuits, and even the Mr. Fusion on the back end. Quite impressive, although I’m pretty sure that none of it actually does anything. Especially considering the last time I looked at my hand I was still pretty damn corporeal, and my mom didn’t have the hots for me…though the next guy who calls me chicken, might have a problem.

These days, the DMC (DeLorean Motor Company) isn’t exactly the same business, but more of a parts warehouse and garage that focuses on the original stainless steel sports car, the DMC-12, and has enough spare parts to fill a 40,000 square foot warehouse.

This is handy for the near 6,500 remaining DMC-12s out in the world, which interestingly enough only 9,000 were made starting back in 1981.

There is an all electric DMC-12 in the works that has an engine capable of going 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and traveling 100 miles per charge, but it’s probably anyone’s guess if we’ll ever see a rebirth of the classic car line.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
