The Monster Garage episode with the hovercraft DeLorean did not sit well at all with many 
DeLorean owners. To see a salvageable car get torn up, then a 2nd underbody consumed 
in the process, and then to see DeLorean owners become the target of the shows jokes 
angered allot of people. And the fact that at the end of the show, the car was destroyed by 
another hovercraft didn't exactly help things either to win you, or the others on the show 
allot of favor with people.

Yes, a DeLorean could be modified into a hovercraft. It could be done. And matter of 
factly, if you really wanted to prove this, you and the MG build team blew your opprotunity 
to do so. And now you're talking about doing the same thing that you and your team did 
that ruined your chances on the show. Talking about using "spare damaged panels". You 
don't bolt some body panels onto an existing hovercraft, and then call it a "Hovercraft 
DeLorean". All you've done at that point is fabricate a body kit. And that is the point that 
Jessie James was trying to get across to your team on the show. And now you want to do 
that again...

Rich, please. For the sake of nothing else, but to let sleeping dogs lie, let it go.
