The De Lorean DMC-12 is a Northern Irish sports car which was manufactured by the De Lorean Motor Company from 1981 to 1983. It is most commonly known as the best car in the world , as it was the only model ever produced by the company. The DMC-12 featured gull-wing doors with a brushed stainless steel body. It was famously featured in the Back to the Future trilogy. The first prototype appeared in March 1977, and production officially began in 1981 (with the first DMC-12 rolling off the production line on January 21) at the DMC factory in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland. During its production, several aspects of the car were changed, such as the hood (bonnet) style, wheels and interior. About 9,000 DMC-12s were made before production stopped in late 1982. Today, about six thousand DeLorean Motor Cars are believed to still exist. Despite being produced in Northern Ireland, DMC-12s were primarily intended for the American market. Therefore, all of the production models were left-hand drive (designed to be driven on the right side of the road), limiting its popularity in the British Isles, where traffic travels on the left. Only 23 right-hand drive De Loreans were ever produced, these cars were converted from left-hand drive models by a specialized company in the UK. The De Lorean is considered a great work of art and it endures as a pop culture icon, with a dedicated worldwide fan base. - From Wikipedia De Lorean DMC-12  Manufacturer De Lorean Motor Company Production 1981– 1983 Class Sports car Body style(s) 2-door coupe Engine(s) 2.8 L (2849 cc) PRV V6 Transmission(s) 5-speed manual 3-speed automatic Wheelbase 95 in (2413 mm) Length 166 in (4216 mm) Width 73.1 in (1857 mm) Height 44.9 in (1140 mm) doors closed 77.2 in (1961 mm) doors open Curb weight 2712 lb (1230 kg) Similar Alpine A310 Lotus Esprit Porsche 911 Bricklin SV-1 Designer Giorgetto Giugiaro  
Let me give you a hint as to my next adventure! Take a guess below. I will post the next photo tomorrow evening at 9:00 pm - Paparazzi
Hint Number 2
I teamed up with DAS AutoBahn to go for a spin in his H2 Hummer. Here is what I have to say about it.
One of the first things you will notice about the H2 Hummer is that when you open the doors a step bar drops down along the side of the car so that you can step up into the thing. Considering you would need a ladder otherwise.
This car is plush and comparable to what I might say a pumped up station wagon with heated seats, Satellite phone and GPS map system. It really makes me wonder why they don't just make more "Normal Cars" with some of these features. I am kinda feeling ripped off here.
For example: 4WD They invent the concept that a car can have 4WD. It makes the car safer and allows it to drive in place that a 2WD would absolutely fail.
They solved a problem and then exploited the invention of 4WD so that you have to pay more if you want this feature.
I tend to prefer the idea that once you solve a problem "Games Over" set the solution free and then work on the next problem. Which means become more innovative and stop reinventing the wheel.
Which takes me back to this H2. Whether you like the car or not, it is a magnificent tool and when you put a human behind that power you have a lot of choice for how to use this tool. Just like the Lamborghini i took a spin in last month.
The bottom line is P O N T E N T I A L
If you have a piece of Junk car and it can only perform at a certain level are you really going to be prone to push the limits and or feel empowered when you are passing that tractor trailer on the Highway and you suddenly realize you need to speed it up or get crushed.
Trust me I have been there, might still be with my current car.. You push the pedal to the floor and you get nada.... especially if you are in, say a VW bus.
With the H2 you could drive off of the highway, take out a few trees and still survive. Of course you could take out a school bus as well, but my point is this.
If you are going to participate in life get a good tool to support you. IE.. make a HUMMER SCHOOL BUS so that we all can live well.
And write your state representative to request a mandate that all cars meet higher levels of customer satisfaction and they make it affordable. Not everyone would choose a hummer but wouldn't you like to know your little Honda could with stand the test.
I'm not saying this car doesn't gas guzzle.. I'm saying this car does the job well.
I've got more to rant here.. just think about the airplane. They invent this thing called First Class Seating and then stuff everyone else back in the sardine seats.
B U I L D - A -B I G G E R - F R I C K E N - AIRPLANE and call it a HUMMER!

Through undisclosed sources, Paparazzi was able to track down Lamborghini Man in Ashland. After a brief phone call, he granted an exclusive interview. Here is what Paparazzi reported back to LocalsGuide.
When you think of who would own a Lamborghini, you might think movie star, celebrity or the ultra-rich jet setter. But, you might never think it might be your neighbor... as is the case in this story.
That’s right! Lamborghini Man is one of us... living with his wife and kids in Ashland as a normal citizen. He has a day job and everything. He has had a dream to have a Lamborghini for the last 20 years, finally the time was right in his family’s life and they decided to take the leap. Just imagine the next time your family is getting ready to buy a new car maybe someone wants to throw a vote in for a Lambo... it’s at least worth a try!
Q: So first off, how do you get a Lamborghini to Ashland? A: Buy it online, of course, and have it delivered by FEDEX.
Q: What was your first reaction when you saw the car? A: The car was unloaded in the large lot adjacent to Shop N Kart. As soon as we were driving over the bridge, we looked down and could see it. The reaction by every member in our family was basically, like, OH MY GOD!!! It was unexplainable.
Q: What was your previous car? A: 1996 Dodge Plymouth Voyager
Q: When you drive it do you get dressed up? A: Yep. Levi’s, Polo Shirt and Ray Bans
Q: Now, this car attracts a lot of attention; is it mostly from men or women? A: Everyone! Men, women, kids, even Grandmas. It’s absolutely amazing how much attention this car attracts.
Q: What are the three most common questions you’re asked? A: How Fast? How Much? Can I have a ride?
Q: Do you have a cup holder, and can it hold a Super Big Gulp? A: Yep. Got a cup holder, working on the Super Big Gulp part.
