John DeLorean has passed away today at the age of 80. Brilliant engine and car designer. He has thanked Bob Gale and Robert Zemekis for forever making his car a staple in history. His life could have been so much different for he had not taken in at least a part with drug dealings/taking. I don't believe he was ever fully convicted of doing it, but he sure didn't do his best to get away from it when he had the chance.

pfft, the company failed because the cars didn't sell. The exchange rate made them too expensive and it was only ever going to become a niche market. The drug money only came up after [and because] the company was failing.

He woulda ended up a bankrupt anyway, and DeLoreans becoming obscure was the best thing that happened to it, and him.
