On summer weekends, many car clubs will tour along the peak-to-peak highway. This morning I saw about 60 cars mostly made up of Porsches<\/a>. But mixed in were a few others such as a Lotus<\/a> and a DeLorean<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I became familiar with most of these high-end cars when I was a kid and seeing them at car shows.\u00a0 For whatever reason Porsches never grabbed my fancy.\u00a0 Cars such as the Lamborghinni Countach<\/a>, the Lotus Espirit<\/a>, and the DeLorean were my favorites.\u00a0 And even today, 30-40 years later, these cars still look beautifully futuristic.<\/p>\n

DeLoreans were a favorite of mine even before a modified version appeared in Back to the Future<\/a>.\u00a0 Not only was I intrigued with the engineering and design, I like the idea of brushed stainless steel instead of paint for the body finish. The chassis of the DeLorean was designed by Lotus.\u00a0 The style was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro<\/a>, who also did designs for Lamborghinni and Maserati among many others.<\/p>\n
