I heard the power to weight ratio is really bad.
Add another 100 horsepower on the engine, and it would have sold more IMHO.
Underpowered, didn't handle particularly well (no better than your average compact sedan of the era), gull-wing doors are just plain stupid, and it's cramped if you're taller than, say, 5'10" and/or really overweight.

So what you're saying is, Michael J Fox was the only actor that could have driven the Delorian in BTTF.
Well now I know why Richard Kiel didn't get the role. :D

I don't know about Fox being the only actor that could have driven it, but at 5'4.5" he must surely have found it more comfortable than Christopher Lloyd, who is 6'1" (my height). Since a picture is worth a thousand words...

Look at how much of the driver's space Lloyd occupies--he must have had to slide down in the seat just to close the door. At 7'2", Richard Kiel would have to remove his head to fit into that p.o.s.! lol

We interrupt this car discussion to bring you some breaking "bacon" news.
Who bought his wife several types of bacon, and smoked brats for Valentines Day?
This guy. :D
Should be here in a few days.
Thick (butcher) sliced, and thin sliced (but lean) bacon smoked over apple wood, and brats smoked over apple wood.

So this is why there's no picture of you.

Taken years ago, with my previous Heeler.
She really loved the snow, since we only get it every so often.
Don't really know what her fascination was with rooting through the snow snout first, but my current Heeler does that too.

Any more photos and I owe Chippendales money. :D
