[DML] Re: I need some ammunition



Tom-

I am a young delorean owner.  I'm 23 right now and bought my delorean 
when i was 19.  If i had to do it over again, i wouldn't.  Not yet 
anyways.  My life has changed drasticly in the past 4 years.  Lets 
see:

-I moved away from home (major cash monthly cash expense there)

-Had to buy a reliable everyday car (more money there that I wasn't 
planning on)

-Hey, fell in love and am married now (3 years today!!)

-Have 10 month old baby

-Hmmm, needed a place to put wife baby and car....New House.

When I was 19 and thinking of buying a delorean i though, man...i'm 
bringing in lots of cash right now...i can afford this.  Things 
happen, life priorities change (for the better!!) and the Delorean 
went from being the only thing I did with my spare time (or any 
time!!) to something I bring out and enjoy whenever i find a free 
moment away from everyday life.
I love my Delorean, but life would have been a bit easier financially 
had I waited to buy a delorean when I could really afford one.

Just my thoughts, good luck with your decision.
