I know it's obvious from the picture, but I never realized DeLoreans were stainless steel, which is very rare for vehicles made in the past half-century. DMC DeLorean Wikipedia here
Other DeLorean oddities:
- The car did not vary design by year, but rather by production batch, making it hard to identify a DeLorean's year from its design
- The car was expensive for its time ($25,000-$34,000 in 1982-1984) and sold as a GT style car, despite being relatively slow (0-60 in approx. 8.8-10sec)
- "A total of four recalls were issued by the factory to correct problems such as a sticking throttle, front-suspension issues and an inertia switch"
- "The original 80-amp Ducellier alternator supplied with the early-production DeLoreans could not provide enough current to supply the car when all lights and electrical options were on; as a result, the battery would gradually discharge, leaving the driver stranded on the road."
After you play enough Geoguessr you learn what every part of america looks like. The green forested hills and american pickup trucks everywhere give away the approximate region; the Weigels (found on a list of USA gas station chains) is apparently unique to one city; and the Executive Inn makes the last pinpointing step much easier.
