[DML] January Car and Driver

[CancerMan <cancerman@xxxx>]

I haven't seen as much bad press on the De Lorean, as I have in 1999. Hopefully
2000 will be better... Here's the article in full text, January's Car and
Driver p. 60.

Loser: John "This Is as Good as Gold" De Lorean's car-manufacturing enterprise
went stainless-steel belly up in 1982. After a mere 17 years of haggling,
insults, back stabbing, $30 million in legal fees -and, well, those ugly drug
charges of which Johnny D. was acquitted in '84 -a settlement has at last been
reached. In 1999, a judge ordered that $28 million be paid to De Lorean's 260
creditors in hopes that none of them, including the 125 law firms that
participated in the festivities, would ever again utter the "D" word.

The highlight of the De Lorean sports car's career, as everyone knows, was its
appearance in a science-fiction movie starring a very small person named Fox.
