So this is the result of his delorean that was being "built" by westcoast customs. Shame. i actually thought those guys would make something cool for once. But... guess not.

You guys are so harsh, this is the builder, look what he got to work with? Scrap material and basic hand tools, give him some credit

He even picked up a girl in it!!

Here is the built thread:

The first thing I thought of when I saw that car was Back to the Future, now I know why

I agree, WCC sucks!

YES the car is being built by WCC. West coast customs. I have a video of it there when I stopped by 2 weeks ago...

And it looks 10x cooler in person.... A very original idea...

WCC builds the best...nobody can compete...I have seen them all fall to them

It's a delorean customized.

I wouldn't say that WCC sucks. They have done some great builds over the years. It was just a bad idea collaborating with someone who knows nothing about cars and WCC agreeing with his design..

More news on this hideous car, and it is hilarious

It just got impounded in L.A. for reasons of not having a license plates, not registered, and have no VIN.

According to E!Online, the performer told the officers he was aware that the car wasn’t road-legal “but wanted to drive it.” That sounds logical and lawful.

For a number of reasons It's hard for small auto companies to get started nowadays and stay in buisness....especially those headed by entrepeneaurs or just one person's brainchild idea. Witness what happened to DeLorean, Bricklin, Tesla, Penske (he imported the American-market Smart-for-Two but Mercedes is now taking it over), Corbin, Tucker, and others. Automotive history, even in modern times, is littered with the corpses of "I can make it" companies that, in fact, did not make it.

Is not hard, just needs huge money. Oh opps, forgot huge money is hard to come by

Some people think it just needs tens and hundreds of millions to make it happens...........they quickly find out it takes billions.
