- quickorbit, on 10/10/2007, -5/+288Dude, It is November 5th, 1955. That date should be burned into the subconscious of any respectable geek.
- axisofphilippe, on 10/10/2007, -66/+236See you in 1956, douchebags.
- metapop, on 10/10/2007, -2/+134i hope they don't put in one of those cheap chinese flux capacitors.
- Garrando, on 10/10/2007, -8/+136Michael J Fox should be the spokesman...imagine that
- cyclox, on 10/10/2007, -2/+120I am glad they are aiming for 57,500, because if it was 58,000 it would be totally out of my price range.
- Scopitone, on 10/19/2007, -7/+117GREAT SCOTT!
- PrettyMuchBryce, on 10/10/2007, -5/+961.21 jigawatts you dumb *****.
- phimu227, on 10/10/2007, -3/+93the best part of this story is the first comment on the page...
"Will the door panels come pre-loaded with cocaine, or is that an extra?" - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -12/+92I Don't know, that seems kind of shaky to me.
/ Yeah, I'm going to hell for that one. - jeffeb3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+80I'm going to hold out for the trash powered one.
- Morphinity, on 10/10/2007, -3/+73Remember, remember the 5th of November. A little two-fer there for you.
- PhantomBantam, on 10/10/2007, -2/+61This is heavy.
- teevee247, on 10/10/2007, -1/+55Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?
- JD52, on 10/10/2007, -12/+62"1.21" Jigawatts.
- ironrex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+44the lead painted ones?
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+37You built a Time Machine..... out of a DeLorean?
- srodolff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+35To quote Doc Brown: Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits but the internal combustion engine runs on ordinary gasoline.
- Apoc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34Buried for unacceptable spelling of "douchebag".
- Carsonauto, on 10/10/2007, -13/+44Inaccurate. They will be building REPLICAS at a rate of 1 or 2 a month.
- Deranged, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31The car will be made by DMC. The car will not have the same interior or engine, and every piece will be new. Not to mention they will be changing other parts for the sake of reliability and modernization. To me, that counts as a new model since a "REPLICA" implies that the car will be identical to the older models.
- MatchStick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28lol, i don't think i'll answer that seeing as the last story you dugg was "Come and sit on my knee little girl // PIC"
- Wargalas, on 10/10/2007, -3/+31When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious *****.
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -2/+28Jigga what?
- anagoge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24Yeah, how's your sister doing these days?
- curomo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23Actually, I think gigawatt was pronounced "jiga" until the computer people took over with their gigabytes:

- x00x, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24Why fail twice if you can only fail once?
- surfing, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Turn your keyboard upside down and then type.
- Larakin, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21I thought it was only 1.21 gigawatts?
- h3llscaper, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Dugg for correcting this douchebag.
- schizogony, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Jigga what?
- petebot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18I also saw this story today in the news:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20070820/sc_livescience/timetravelmachineoutlined;_ylt=AuwgwfMIrF.bqxlgjoZRC9sDW7oF
Coincidence? I think not. - MatchStick, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Three-fer for me, my sis got hitched on that date.
- chad78, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Tires are for roads... Where we're going, we don't need roads!

He had it right, it's 1.21 Jiggawatts
Please refrain from further commenting. - MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -1/+15Except these are new... kinda the point.
- ObeseSnake, on 11/14/2007, -2/+15Jigga please!
- PirateFSM, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12It IS gigawatts, but The Doc pronounces it Jigga- watts... You dumb ***** :-)
- BobbyMC, on 07/21/2008, -0/+12Here's the lowdown. This DMC is technically not the DMC that went out of business. At some point years back the entirety of the original DMC was bought out by these people, spare parts and all. Since then they have been remanufacturing DeLoreans by using unused parts from the original factory and even improving on the original parts in many ways.
You can get a used DeLorean for under 30k. What they do with their remanufactures is worth a LOT more though. If you get a DeLorean with all the features from them, you get stuff like a better engine and a top of the line sound sytem with iPod interface.
What I assumed from the first announcement, and all but confirmed from this one, is that these new DeLoreans are built from scratch to increase the number of DeLoreans they actually have to sell. At some point, the awesome work they have done will catch up to them and their will be no more DeLoreans left to fix. Their reference to keeping the look made no mention of an identical build, so I would say it is safe to assume that not only will these match remanufactured DeLoreans, but may even surpass them as they are able to hand build the structure to their own specifications.
What they're going to be selling you for 57k is nowhere near a used DeLorean. It is a LITERALLY brand spankin new DeLorean, plus all the modern necessities you can't live without. - whistlerpro, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Well I figured, if you're going to build a time machine out of a car, why not do it with some style?
- NJank, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12a swan-shaped paddleboat with a flux capacitor. sweet.
- massproductions, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12No, they're building DeLoreans from the ground up using whatever parts they can find. Also, since they're the new DMC, anything they call the DeLorean is official. They could be selling a swan-shaped paddleboat and we'd still have to call it the new DeLorean.
- raynar, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13HEY MCFLY!
- g30ph, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Because the Lotus doesn't travel through time. duh.
- gl77, on 03/31/2008, -1/+11Fifty-seven thousand dollars!!!!!! Marty! do you know what this means???
- SnuKs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I think you forgot this is Digg
- edgewild, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Too bad the Mr. Fusion only powered the flux capacitor, not the engine. It still needed gasoline to drive. :(
This was covered in Part 3 when the fuel tank busted and leaked out all the gas. - EBFoxbat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I'ts Gigawatts just mispronounced.
- BrandonMills, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Those comments are more appropriate on TshirtHell :p
