Ever hear or ignoring those you can't make positive comments on?  I
suppose not.

Belfast, *N* Ireland (the British state), not Dublin.

Indeed.  For two AM, though, it wasn't that bad.

because they were the highest bidder.

Incorrect.  The US rejected the offer.

Again, for a post that was written at 2AM, I do not consider this to
be a bad thing.

out of business.  The market did.

Incorrect.  DeLorean had two years of preorders for the DMC-12.

opinion.  Most of the stuff I saw was very positive.  I even had some
people in a restaurant on Sunday ask me if my DeLorean tee shirt was a
tribute to John!  I though that was pretty good considering most
people don't know much of anything about John or the car.

For an American icon, it has been shit.  Look at the recent Carson
coverage and try to use that to justify your opinion of what good is. 

Yours truly,
