[DMCForum] Re: De Lorean for sale?



I too feel that I was taken in by the previous owner of my car. I was 
told that if I put the fuel tank back in, buy a thermostat cap and 
change the hoses it would fire right up.

Based on what I've just gone through, how do you think -I- feel?

I do however highly value the education I just got. I feel more 
confident than ever in my abilities and the car.

Would I do it again? No. Not unless my kids are grown and gone, I 
have more money and more time.

Shoe-horning this in between family, work, and the military and on my 
barely adequate budget was a @#$!&.

I don't think I'll ever be one of those guys who has 2 or three of 
these and just keeps going back for more punishment. I'm more of a 
grandparent. I've had my kid, and I'll help out with other people's 
kids because I know that when I'm sick of them, I can give'em back! :)
