The "Back to the Future" movie series was an amazing piece of product placement for the DeLorean Motor Company.
The now-defunct automaker made one car -- the model DCM-12. Everyone called it, simply, the DeLorean.
My time behind the wheel of a factory-original DeLorean (with a gold-colored body wrap by 3M) was a pleasant surprise.
I'd been warned not to expect too much but, honestly, it was a fun and refreshing car to drive. The steering is tight and responsive and the manual shifter was a pleasure to flick from gear to gear.
Unfortunately, my time with the car was cut short by a failing belt in the engine compartment. Well, it is a 30-year-old car. Stuff happens.
