  1. I owned a 1981 Delorean for many years at the early height of its popularity. Enjoyed it’s popularity and notority but ultimately sold it due to it’s frequent mechanical problems and breakdowns on the road. Did have my share of fun with it while I owned it nevertheless. Even went to the auction at the Orange County plant and purchased all of the last “fix-it notes” from the special problem garage where the cars from the dealerships came in to be repaired. Even git a set of tiny authentic “hub caps” as a small memory if the car as well as a complete garage manual from the shop there.
