John Z. DeLorean died Sunday:

The guy has a great "Horatio Alger" style story to tell...if Mr. Alger's story ended with him being busted for trying to sell drugs just before making it to the very top of his game. But what I find sadly ironic is that his namesake and legacy has most likely endured thanks to Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale.

I love Back to the Future. The concept and execution was top notch for its time (and still holds up well) and the DeLorean automobile has fantastic physical presence that cannot help but inspire thoughts of adventure.

"Dad, why'd someone want to be named after the Time Machine from Back to the Future??"
