We just hit 800k subscribers! Thank you all so much. To celebrate we let you ask Rabbit anything you wanted to and we are putting the finishing touches on the video today. 90 minutes of Rob Pitts Q&A is coming at you tomorrow at 10 AM Eastern.
VINwiki Hey Rob, love all the funny stories but what is the worst car deal(s) ever? Ever refused to sell a car to a shady person? Thanks, I’ll be tuned in tmrw for sure! Thanks.
The presence, the rarity, the following/community behind it, it's what makes the car what it is. Each time I look for DeLoreans that are for sale, I cry when I see the prices for a nice one. A barn yard find would be the way to go with these things
OK, former DeLorean owner here - bought it brand new, had it for 8 years. Close to zero problems; only thing other than normal maintenance I remember doing was replacing the door struts after three or four years. - Although I have to admit it was garage kept and babied; unlike Casey I did not take it out in the snow, etc. I made two modifications that made a huge difference; installed a turbo (still a pig off the line but not too shabby at all once you hit 3000 RPM). - And hey, after three years I bought a new 1986 Porsche 944; it had 147HP to the DeLorean's 130, and the DeLorean was lighter! People forget what 1980's "performance" was really like. The other thing I did was change the springs to lower it, I think it was 2-1/2". That car was 44" high at the roof and looked AMAZING! There was plenty of room in the wheel wells and it didn't even seem to affect the ride. I've owned almost 50 cars starting in the seventies until now, everything from Mercedes 450SL's, Audi Quattro Coupe, Dodge Stealth Turbo, Porsche 944's and 928's, Cadillac XLR, Ferrari 360 Spider, and many more; I would rank the DeLorean in the top five in all categories.
And by the way, Casey - you say the DeLorean owners have heard all the jokes. How about this one, for those of you who are old enough to remember the scandal when John Delorean was arrested in an FBI sting for possession of cocaine, which he intended to sell to try to save the company: after it went down I immediately applied for and got the license plate "SNORT" and had a frame made that said "Things go better with Coke". There was nothing more fun than stopping at a light and watching the faces in the car behind me as they approached; first "Ooo, a DeLorean" and then especially when they got got close enough to read the plate and the frame. (I made sure to NEVER carry ANYTHING in the car that could have the slightest resemblance to cocaine, but believe it or not I was never stopped.) I had that plate for years until one of the concerned mothers on the street where I lived complained and the D.O.T. recalled it.
Haha! Good stuff! I’ve actually always thought they were a great looking car, but have always scratched my head at the HP spec, good to hear they are upgradeable, that certainly ups the appeal to me.
I think the thing that surprises me the most is that the vast majority people think they are telling me things about my car that I didn't know. They don't even consider that, as an owner and therefore most likely a pretty thoroughly invested fan, I may be an expert on the topic, and they should just be asking questions. I would never walk up to another classic car owner and attempt to educate them about their car. But there's something about this car that people can't help doing just that. And it's almost always wrong. So what's the best part about other people's reactions? The smiles in my rearview mirror, and the cameras that float up out of their laps. They found a unicorn, and they want to be able to prove it. It makes me happy.
The only Delorean owner I've met in real life, I simply asked if he had updated to the Euro suspension... His eyes lit up like I was the first guy that didn't lead the conversation with BTTF jokes. Cool movies, everyone knows them, now tell me about _your_ car.
I used to drive my delorean daily, but quit because it was so stressful due to other drivers on the road and the fear of little pebbles hitting the stainless lol. Now shes just a weekend night drive car. Good to see this guy knows what he is talking about, beautiful. Also i laughed at the putsch racing delorean, they did all the great work but didnt upgrade the overflow bottle to a stainless one, scary!
Casey can you make a list of all the cars you have owned? You’ve had such an electric collection over the years that you always pull out a surprise when you’re on here!
Ive read, owned, receited and respected, "On a CLEAR Day you can see GM" enough times to memorize it... have you? Do you have a half a clue.. as to how intelligent.. J Z D is? J Z D is a intelligent, articulate and yes... LOUD / outspoken, ENGINEER who has years of GM experience in designing as well as Operating sections of the company. It was WITH that strength.... that he wanted to build, design and put out a car of his own design... the rest is shortform pop culture. Thats.. not Musk not in the least. Musk... is a ignorant, rich pompous, fuck of a human, who thinks he's an adult... by posting his comments to the world along with HEAD CHEETO ON TWATTER!!!
@@MrSteveo114 not if your damn car comes with quality gear... Fools easily part with their money though and he just wants to bump that market up a bit. Have fun with your 88 mph car lol.... That's to slow even in the real world. God forbid you have the need to accelerate as you enter the interstate. I have changed some of those things on vehicles of mine but only after needing replacing....
@@heavyhanded1782 Did you not hear what the man said? Everything in the early 80s was slow, even the Ferraris. Emissions regs of the time had a lot to do with it. So, yeah, other cars from other times are better in some ways. Wow, imagine that. As for the springs, the ride height thing was a purposefully implemented screw to hold up the DeLorean in production. No time or budget to redo, taller springs it is.
Thank you Casey. I have lived the delorean since the first day I seen it. I now plan to find one and make it my daily driver/ fun car. Thank you for all your stories and what you have given to the car community.
The thing that I like about the DeLorean DMC-12 is the fact that it was featured in BTTF my all time fave movie. But what makes it even more special is that it's one of those "rare Exotic" looking cars. In reality when you look at them now, the DMC-12s that are have been produced and left the factory before it shut down are kinda scarce now a days. Let's say this DeLorean made 50,000 DMC-12s, but today 1/3 of them are trashed/gone, 1/3 are stock factory versions, and 1/3 are BTTF time machines. So that would mean that these cars are one of those sought after ones for collectors ether cause of BTTF/pop culture or just cause they like the odd quarkyness of the car. Despite what the movies say the Delorean is actually a slow car and can't really go that far past 80MPH.
Casey is the Only Person that Can And Will Testify that Yes, These Cars Are Actually Pretty Good and I Love that!! My grandfather on my dad's side of the family had a good friend who used to own one back in the day and I remember seeing it in person once and I think I sat in it, but I don't fully remember, but needless to say; I was only born in '93 but Regardless, when I saw the car in the BTTF trilogy, I Always Loved it!! And I Still Love them So Much to this day that since I saw this video, I'd Love to do exactly what Casey said he did to make it a Better running vehicle!! Thank you again Casey!!
Great vid Casey. I do have one DeLorean fact for ya. Ever seen a crash test on one? Def not a safe car. Great vid fun cars none the less. “ Your Friend in Time” Doc Brown...... I mean Rob lol couldn’t resist 😂
I bought a parts Delorean that was t-boned by a Cadillac going 45mph. The Delorean owner walked away without a scratch. These cars are safer than you think.
@@luketeverino6085 When he was in high school, you could get a damn nice one for 10k... He's the same age I am. Further, there are always kids with some daddy money that get whatever they want. Not saying that's Kasey's thing, but there were kids at my school with brand new *insert anything you can imagine here* because Daddy paid for it. 10k is nothing compared to most of that.
I was at a Concour de Elegance at Stanford University. We ended up seeing a DeLorean in the parking lot with a "BKNTYME" license plate. I wish that was in the show. Yes, I got a picture of it too!
Casey is right up there with the best storytellers on VINwiki. I may be a bit biased since he just talked about DeLoreans and I absolutely freaking love them. It's clear that he truly appreciates them, probably even more than I do, and that's awesome. The gullwing doors are awesome, they fit the design so well. Same with the stainless steel panels, and the magnificently boxy yet sleek design that looks like it was created at least a decade after 1980. Seriously, how futuristic must this car have looked back in 1980? And I can't help but absolutely LOVE those square headlights (I normally hate square sealed beam headlights and prefer round ones but they work PERFECTLY in this car and are a testament to how good design can make otherwise benign things look great). Aside from the front height of the US cars, which is absolutely wrecked by the taller springs, this is an amazing-looking car which manages to somehow combine a number of bizarre design elements along with hints of more traditional design in a way that truly makes not just a great-looking car, but a very unique one at that, one that both encapsulates a time period and somehow transcends it completely. There will never be another DeLorean. I really hope one day I will own one, and modify it so that it has more power than it did originally because that amount of power just ain't enough for the car.
@@CaseyPutsch I am entirely embarrassed to say that I didn't realize you had a UA-cam channel and I'm immediately subscribing and clicking on the bell to remedy my error. Thank you for reading my comment!
I tried to buy one in the 90's. At the time I was training for the World Strong Man compaction. At 430 lbs I was to big for the little car. I couldn't get the door shut, It hit my shoulder with six inched short of closing. Fast forward to today I've shrunk to 260 lbs; I might try again.
FYI - They have Stainless steel frames now, the engine was okay... I have had my car up to 135Mph before, but it doesn't have a ton of off the line speed. There has been a few guys that have put in the corvette engine into the back of DeLoreans. I am currently planning an engine swap myself to a Cummins R2.8 crate engine! Once I do that we will really see what that baby can do!
I miss my DeLorean too, but he's right they can be great daily drivers. I had megasquirt ecu, Badger ITB's, custom thinner head gaskets, custom headers and cams and it was a blast to drive. The sound was amazing too and most thought I swapped a new motor because it had such a distinct sound. If anyone is interested I still have the ECU, ITB's and sensors ;-)
i am glad that you were honest with the review. yes they were not fast but they are great cars. You can do alot to the engine now to make it a bit more powerful with the stage 2 and stage 3 upgrades you can do makes it more powerful and better. Alot of tech has come along way since it was built and you can make it a very great car.
I spaced out for a minute at the end... "What's the best joke to tell a DeLorean owner?" ... ... ... "I like your car." Dunno what came in between but that punchline had me in stitches.
There’s a completely “unique” rich hermit out here on Long Island who has about 20 or so immaculate deloreans. Being born in ‘82 they were just so cool to me as well and to this day I still drive by his outdoor private lot every now and then to check out his collection! #NerdsUnite
The DeLorean is the greatest use of gull wing doors ever and its still an awesome car even today (definitely on my list of the top 10 cars of all time)
Owning a Delorean is like frying bacon without a shirt on. Father bought one new in 82. It arrived on a flatbed after the engine overheated. I was 18 ans we kept it up until he said enough was enough and iirc dumped it at 1/2 price. Remember in 82 money the DMC was a $60 grand car. In 2007 I found one and against my better judgement bought a rare early vin/blk int/manual/gas flap hood etc.. Despite what some say, as with most vintage cars you are never truly DONE. However with the internet, aftermarket and a new popularity it is possible as I have to keep one running. But as with a supermodel or a swimming pool, it's best that your friend have one and you are able to borrow it once in a while.
I noticed in some pics your car had the black racing stripe and then others it didn't. Did you remove yours? I'd like to but would love advice from someone who has done it.
Love that car I have wanted on since i was a kid too, I had a 84 Celica GTS so 80s! ..I think i know where that water-tower is in your picture could it be the birthplace of the tomato?
I have obsessed over and wanted one of these so bad. When I was 13 I remember seeing 15k could get you a good condition dmc. By the time I was early 20s they where around 35k for a good one. Now I’m making good money I think nows the time to live the dream. I look at used ones on eBay and my dream which always seem just out of reach continues to be out of reach.
I just watched the new movie "driven". Then, after watching this video I decided I would really like to have one. I would upgrade the few things it needs and PAINT IT. Why not? just because it's stainless doesn't mean you can't be different. It's actually a good looking car and I bet it can be made to really run fast too, so I WANT ONE.
@@CaseyPutsch actually quite appreciate you making this video because I was under the misconceptions that the DeLorean was an unreliable underpowered terrible car. Much like my dilapidated 97 Plymouth Breeze that I drive everyday. Just out of curiosity what do you think is more iconic the DeLorean or the Trans Am maybe specifically the one from Smokey and the Bandit?

Where do we ask questions??!! @vinwiki
I know what im doing tomm. @ 10am sharp!!!

Casey in a DeLorean makes more sense than anything I have ever known
Brett Bilger yeah!!
Nerding out on VINwiki about the most misunderstood car in the world that I would proudly drive any day of the year! Thanks Ed Bolian!
Casey your stories are some of the best!
Love your stories brotha. So genuine and inspirational
Paul Carmi thank you!!!
MaxSpeed much appreciated! I love doing VINwiki and hope you enjoy my channel too.
I want to hear your car collection in order in 1 video. You have had some crazy cool cars.
The level of eccentricity in daily driving a DeLorean is definitely the high mark on scale
Gus Kipper definitely Casey level all the way. :)
Hmm too bad Ed doesnt have a DeLorean, he could switch out the logos from DeLorean to EdBolian
Stig’s Danish Cousin you win the Internet today!
"I haven't heard that joke since tomorrow"
"What?"
"You'll get it later"
The more I hear Casey talk the more and more I like this guy.
KiNgerZ thanks!
Hahahaha,,,, "A kid's one thing, they can heal, cars you gotta fix"
Soooo true Casey, so very true.
Post video on vinwiki
Immediate price jumps of $5000 on Deloreans everywhere
Thanks Casey!

Casey has some of the most interesting stories, thanks for sharing them!
No matter how early you are, these 2 guys with the Koenigsegg and Bugatti profile picture already commented something before you.
Haters gonna hate
LMAO trueeee
‘Kids heal, cars you gotta fix!’ Best line ever for a car guy.
Ok, this guy looks like Tyler Hoover with more working brain cells
Always enjoy when you give a talk, from the bat mobile to a Dmc12 what other cool story’s do you have
in the 90s my buddies dad had a delorian. he had a second delorian he bought for parts for the good delorian.
I love that your profile picture is Jon Cryer lol
Hey Casey, I'm the guy who bought your '82 (10259) back in 2003. I still have it and drive it regularly.
Keegan Mills nice! Have fun with it!
Haha! Good stuff! I’ve actually always thought they were a great looking car, but have always scratched my head at the HP spec, good to hear they are upgradeable, that certainly ups the appeal to me.
8:57 Ironically that's probably the best joke to tell them. That there are no jokes left to tell!
I think the thing that surprises me the most is that the vast majority people think they are telling me things about my car that I didn't know. They don't even consider that, as an owner and therefore most likely a pretty thoroughly invested fan, I may be an expert on the topic, and they should just be asking questions. I would never walk up to another classic car owner and attempt to educate them about their car. But there's something about this car that people can't help doing just that. And it's almost always wrong. So what's the best part about other people's reactions? The smiles in my rearview mirror, and the cameras that float up out of their laps. They found a unicorn, and they want to be able to prove it. It makes me happy.
Some people are just easy to listen to... Big Thumbs up for Casey's stories...
Don Broxson thank you!

you guys (VINwiki) and Donut media did videos on the delorean today lol

Yup, with a coke habit.
That's quite an insult to DeLoreans.

I was an 80s car hipster too before it was cool for 2 simple reasons: they were affordable and a lot of fun
I've always liked these. Scandal just added more "hell yeah I want one" to it and of course the movies are top 5 favorites.
Other than sounding like a really desperate attempt at inflating the DeLorean market it’s a pretty dope video.

You can do alot to the engine now to make it a bit more powerful with the stage 2 and stage 3 upgrades you can do makes it more powerful and better. Alot of tech has come along way since it was built and you can make it a very great car.
I want one SO BADLY. Been my dream car for a while now.
Casey is a freaking LEGEND. Check out his channel y'all.
batmayn thank you!
I spaced out for a minute at the end...
"What's the best joke to tell a DeLorean owner?"
...
...
...
"I like your car."
Dunno what came in between but that punchline had me in stitches.
That has hover mode and fly mode but you need a mobile operation center and don’t forget it has missiles
There’s a completely “unique” rich hermit out here on Long Island who has about 20 or so immaculate deloreans. Being born in ‘82 they were just so cool to me as well and to this day I still drive by his outdoor private lot every now and then to check out his collection!

The DeLorean is the greatest use of gull wing doors ever and its still an awesome car even today (definitely on my list of the top 10 cars of all time)
Bought mine 20 years ago when I was an apprentice for £8k. Fantastic in the snow👍
Casey..... awesome as always
Astaria Technology and Consulting thanks!
Casey Putsch .... are you going to visit PA anytime soon..
I want to see vinwiki on pka again
It's definitely an iconic ride, I would love to have one still
Owning a Delorean is like frying bacon without a shirt on.
Father bought one new in 82. It arrived on a flatbed after the engine overheated. I was 18 ans we kept it up until he said enough was enough and iirc dumped it at 1/2 price. Remember in 82 money the DMC was a $60 grand car. In 2007 I found one and against my better judgement bought a rare early vin/blk int/manual/gas flap hood etc.. Despite what some say, as with most vintage cars you are never truly DONE. However with the internet, aftermarket and a new popularity it is possible as I have to keep one running. But as with a supermodel or a swimming pool, it's best that your friend have one and you are able to borrow it once in a while.
I’m a big 80’s car guy also. Owned many cool cars from that time.
God i love Casey's charisma. I just want to be friends with this dude.
Missed an opportunity to bid on a DeLorean about 25 years ago at a Detroit Auction. Sold for $4,000.
Still think about that car from time to time.
Seen one on the highway today in Jackson Ohio. It was pretty cool.
Get this man a DeLorean!
You definitely need to add a black and decker on one of those bad boys!!
Is that water tower in that pic in Worthington?
I noticed in some pics your car had the black racing stripe and then others it didn't. Did you remove yours? I'd like to but would love advice from someone who has done it.
this just makes me want a DeLorean even more
Came from Donut Media about Gold plated DMC.
Donut and VinWiki publishes DeLorean videos on the same day....car guy heaven!
5:12 had me dead 😂🤣☠️
I swear if he mentions anything about running from terrorists with an RPG I'm getting this man an award
Maxxas Crow next time! :)
Good morning, have a great Tuesday!
Love that car I have wanted on since i was a kid too, I had a 84 Celica GTS so 80s! ..I think i know where that water-tower is in your picture could it be the birthplace of the tomato?
UUUGGHHHHH I have wanted one ever since Back to the Future came out but they are not highly available in Canada.
I have obsessed over and wanted one of these so bad. When I was 13 I remember seeing 15k could get you a good condition dmc. By the time I was early 20s they where around 35k for a good one. Now I’m making good money I think nows the time to live the dream. I look at used ones on eBay and my dream which always seem just out of reach continues to be out of reach.
I just watched the new movie "driven". Then, after watching this video I decided I would really like to have one. I would upgrade the few things it needs and PAINT IT. Why not? just because it's stainless doesn't mean you can't be different. It's actually a good looking car and I bet it can be made to really run fast too, so I WANT ONE.
Ok great story as always Casey ! Now u should buy one and make it fly!lol
Mark K :)
So this guy is a world traveler, racing driver, and DMC DeLorean enthusiast? Sounds like a really interesting guy
doubleutubefan5 thanks and I hope you like my channel too
@@CaseyPutsch actually quite appreciate you making this video because I was under the misconceptions that the DeLorean was an unreliable underpowered terrible car. Much like my dilapidated 97 Plymouth Breeze that I drive everyday.
Just out of curiosity what do you think is more iconic the DeLorean or the Trans Am maybe specifically the one from Smokey and the Bandit?
