We're a geek culture podcast and blog covering video games, music, food and more. We are the kinds of people who evangelize whatever we are into - it could be anything - but it's usually pretty geeky. We're casual, conversational, NSFW and hopefully interesting. We hope you enjoy it.

A retro-nostalgia pandering I can believe in.

In 1981, the pinnacle of automotive perfection was achieved. No one has ever come close to getting anywhere near that level of awesome when it comes to making cars. But alas, only 9000 of these wonderful machines were produced before the factory lines were shut down forever.

With only 6500 left on the road today, they are a dying breed. One Texas auto mechanic bought all the leftover parts from the shutdown and uses them to service, repair, or completely rebuild these amazing cars.

But the parts are indeed limited and they're down to about only 200 of the proper engines, and they're not going to last much longer.

However, this enterprising car company has decided to take it upon themselves to start buidling the vehicles completely from scratch, starting in 2008.

That's right folks, as early as next year, you too can purchase your very own, brand spankin' new De Lorean DMC 12!
