»As good as gold*

John De Lorean has died, just as the futuristic car he developed in the 80s sees a resurgence in popularity.
I first heard his name when my third-grade teacher, Dr Martin, announced that one of the fifth-graders (Jason Galbreath? John Galbraith?) had won a DeLorean and a year's subscription to Playboy by correctly answering a tricky math question (or it may have been a DeLorean filled with Playboy bunnies).
