[DML] Re: Delorean Mid Atlantic Spring Socail - update

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I will vouch for Dave on the tire pressure issue.

My tires were way over pressure and the handling much improved once 
he let the air out. It seems it's better to go by the spec. card in 
the glove box instead of what's printed on the side of the tire.

I found the ride to be not as harsh, and the car doesn't want to fly 
out of the lane every time I hit a dip in the road.
