Just got back from SEMA and I took a photo of this car. I remember seeing it on Autoblog a while ago, but can't seem to figure this out!

That's a Delorean molested by Wil.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas. I don't remember what his name for it was, but he planned on building them in LA somewhere.

After Will.I.Am had his stint at Intel, he thought he could build a car... He said that his company IAMAUTO would build these in the ghetto he grew up in. He said it was scratch built originally, turns out that it's just a heavily moded DeLorean, which is pretty obvious just from looking at it.

He can't legally drive it for one reason or another. I think Jalopnik reported him getting busted in it a while back. I'd post a link but don't feel like researching...

Also glad to hear the OP survived seeing such a monstrosity!

I'd rather look at Whoopi Goldberg naked than look at that car anymore.

What is this car?

Ummm, It's Ugly.

And I like the Delorean. My friend has two. He has one of the 10 turbocharged versions made by the factory, and one with less than 200 miles. He also has a "Mr. Fusion" Which is a coffee maker from Japan. LOL
