[DML] Re: Concours Competiton

["malevy_nj" <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have no personal crusade against Concours, or DMCH.  I just speak 
my mind.

My comments on the matter have nothing to do with my desire (or lack 
of) to participate in this event.  But as David T correctly pointed 
out, this type of event does have an impact on all DeLorean owners.

Again, Just because a car is considered to be "concours quality" does 
not make it "near-perfect".  This may be your opinion, but (for 
DeLoreans) it is not mine.  

If someone gets pleasure out of unloading a car from a trailer and 
getting it ready for this competition (HOURS on your back with a 
toothbrush cleaning dirt from the frame), go for it..  But it does 
not make that car better (or, more valuable) than the one that just 
RELIABLY drove 1000 miles in the rain to get to Pigeon Forge.  Each 
owner is getting pleasure from the car in a different way.

Dave, you going to practice pitching for the dunking booth?  :)

I know it may not come across in e-mail very well, but I dont take 
any of this stuff as seriously as it seems you all think.
