Lol.  A DeLorean would never...

Tesla owners are much more of a cult than Apple product owners.

A Venn diagram of Apple product owners, Tesla owners and Scientology church members would probably have a huge commonality.

certain grades of SS can exhibit rusting charecteristics, it depends on how it is processed and what the compounds were used to make it, there is no naturally occuring SS like there is iron, SS is an alloy and some do have ferrous content in the alloy

If I were ever to have a classic car, this is the one I would want.

My Tech bro had two of them a different times of his liffe...HS and got another later...both red with back hood scoops..black interior convertables

Not sure what year that is but that’s a good one JCI …I vividly remember when in the Army going to a dealer lot in Va with the new bride in fall of ‘71 and drooling over the newly arrived  ‘72 Cutlass convertibles…good looking car!

That one is a '72.  That was the last year of that body style and I think it was the best looking.  The '70 was the last year before the govt required the pollution controls on the engines and horsepower went way down after that.  The '70 442 with the 455 engine produced 370 hp, the '72 with the 455 produced 300 hp.

I like the grille and the front bumper and round marker lights on the '72 better than the '70.  This is the '70.



This is the '72.

That's going to be a real mess before it's over.

A friend of my brother's had one of those in Navy Blue.

Scientology, that's a stretch...although I did see their "ship" at dock in Aruba I think, I know it was their ship.  They say you can check in, but you can never leave.  Looked like a very small cruise ship...

I watched a video on the Church of Scientology.  At first it seemed like anyone who bought into it would have to be a nut job but then I realized that it really isn't any different than any other religion.  It's believers accept as fact something there is absolutely no real evidence of and are willing to give money, time, etc. to the religion and try and convince other people who don't believe in it that it is the truth and they should accept it and join in.

It is just a newer version of what man has done for millennia.
