I almost think outsourcing the drivetrain is a recipe for failure. That's the secret sauce; not bending metal into a slightly different shape than other companies.

Funny that Delorean called his company the Delorean Motor Company when that was the part they outsourced. Should have been called the Delorean Shell Company.
