Derek goes off the deep end with an '80s icon, the DeLorean. It's been wrecked, painted, and doesn't run, but Derek and his friends change all that with a good old junkyard LS. See if they can power this time machine and make it to LS Fest in Kentucky.

This isn't the full episode. The full one is about 20-30 min longer and has more of the shop work, and more racing at the end. It's on Motortrend's subscription streaming service. (or , y'know,* other* places...) This one is from Season 2, episode 12

It's ok, he may have upset all 10 of you but think of the 5 million of us that laughed at the joke. LOL JK! You got to admit the thing had it's shortcomings. That engine was garbage. It was more about the time though, smog regulations and import rules, and trying to start a car buisness was all just way too much. So it led to a limited run, and thanks to several famous uses of it, it is a cult of personality now. It makes most everyone smile still and is a feature everywhere it goes. So many of us Gen Xers dreamed of owning one sone day. Awesome you managed to get one! Will check your channel out. Did you keep engine original? I am sure they could be made work but it might take injection rework, wiring rework, etc I would think? Derek is just trying to be funny. Not sure it really had the desired effect though. Maybe should have read the room on this one. His lack of respect for this is cringeworthy.
