Gonna go back in the grime

Car Developer John DeLorean, whose unique approach to venture capitalism killed his dream of bringing cars with goofy-looking gull wing doors to the American public, has died at the age of 80. DeLorean had developed the first muscle car, the GTO, and was a rising star with GM in the 1970s when he struck out on his own to start a car company in automotive hotbed Northern Ireland. The company produced less than 9,000 cars before DeLorean was nailed trying to sell cocaine to raise money for his venture. Of course, one of those cars ended up in the hands to Dr. Emmett Brown, who turned it into a time machine in Back to the Future.
