If I had the money, I'd invest it in a "DeLorean'd up" Tesla CyberTruck.  :-DD

I think the next Back To The Future reboots (you know they are coming) will probably feature CyberTrucks:





Apparently Elon Musk tweeted that the CyberTruck was in fact partly influenced by the look of his Lotus S1 Espirit (the one featured in the James Bond film) although you'd think the choice of sheet metal finish was a DeLorean inspiration. Who knows... maybe a combination of both:



TheSteve:
Giorgetto Giugiaro did design the body style of the Esprit and the DeLorean. The DeLorean also had a Lotus designed double Y frame, so it is all pretty similar.

james_s:
Dave is probably going to kick my ass but I still think the time machine DeLoreans are as cliche as General Lee chargers. Love the movie, loved the show when I was a kid, but the cars have been done, and done some more, it's nice to see a nice stock restoration once in a while or some other customized project.

I wanted a rude username:
Can't kick your arse for stating an objective truth.  ;D

Red Squirrel:
I did hear they were actually crappy in terms of performance, but if I bought one, it would probably be a project car to eventually do an EV conversion. You don't need a big battery pack since you can just keep it charged with the flux capacitor. :D

I kind of need a nice big heated garage, the money, and skills first though. :P
