Poor DeLorean

John DeLorean died last Saturday due to complications of a stroke.

Well, who is this guy?

Anybody who's seen the "Back to the Future" movies should know: it's his namesake on the time machine that Marty McFly took back to 1955.

The car, the DeLorean, also makes an appearance in the new Gran Turismo 4 driving simulator on the PS2. I, for one, still have not purchased it.

The CNN article has a pretty good history about the guy. DeLorean only produced 8,900 DeLoreans and went broke. The only way to save his fortune: he tried to sell $24 million worth of cocaine. Good Lord ... and he was acquitted!!!

A great looking car with its only claim-to-fame was the "Back to the Future" movies. Too bad it didn't catch on!
