John Z. DeLorean, an automotive innovator who left General Motors Corp. to develop a radically futuristic sports car, has died at age 80. If it wasn’t for the Back To The Future series, I seriously doubt anyone would care…

    WHAT?! Are you kidding?! Any car buff knows all about the DeLorean, and knew about them BEFORE Back To the Future was even dreamed about.

    You heathen! :P

    OK, I doubt a majority of people know he has/had(??) the patent for the overhead cam engine or he designed the Pontiac GTO :P Happy?

    Most will remember him for THAT Back To The Future car, or being busted for cocaine
