Some 80's nostalgia
MikeQ:
A lot of people don't know this but when Delorean Motor Company went out of business it was bought and has been operating in Houston Texas.
I was just on vacation and passed through Houston so I stopped and checked it out. I'm hoping to restore a Delorean and a Ferarri 308 GTS so I had an interest in seeing what DMC Houston provided in restoration services.
DMC has a complete inventory of parts and can actually build you a new Delorean from parts. They have VIN #'s issued to them from the 80's and can legally build new Deloreans.

If I ever have a midlife crisis and get a sports car, it will be a DeLorean. And a garage.

My restoration project is gated by the size of my garage. I can only fit three cars in it so something has to go before I can do the 308. I'm thinking about putting a lift in the small bay. This would let me stack the Delorean and the 308.
ChadTower:
That's some $$ right there. The whole thing, the cars/garage/lift.
MikeQ:
Delorean restored is about $25,000.
Good lift $3000
308 unrestored $16,000 - restored $30,000.
about equal to a good size game room (like saints).
