delorean actually was very good at making cars to begin with tho, no? just not when he branched out alone
Yeah, because he was an idea guy at Pontiac, which was GM's 'engineering' division where a lot of concepts got tried out first (mid-size performance cars, rubber bumpers, hidden wipers, optic cable radio antennas inside windshields etc.), and things started downhill for when he was promoted to the more conservative Chevrolet.
After he broke loose, his own company had a lot of problems getting started (among other things, coming along after a number of similar other failed 'performance/safety car' startups littered throughout the 70s didn't help), and when production finally began, they made the mistake of using underpowered Renault engines.
And then, yeah, cocaine...

Funny thing about Grimes's mom is that she was a Tesla-owning Elon Musk fangirl well before her daughter started dating him.

Seems sad and wrong this is like the only thread mentioning NASA sending astronauts into space. But not as sad as the FB correspondent rocking the weird NASA Members Only jacket complete with mock epaulets in front of all the wood grain top “engineering desks.” This is not the spaceage timeline i hoped for.
stay safe and whole astronauts.
