I'm out of lurk-mode because I'm concerned about a comment I am hearing more frequently, and which I feel does a great disservice to a lot of highly-respected people in the DeLorean community. The implication (whether intentional or not) seems to be that if a person doesn't own a "real" DeLorean repair shop, their knowledge and opinions about DeLorean parts and service are somehow flawed (i.e. they are "just talking about [DeLoreans]"). I don't mean to trivialize the knowledge gained by owning an automotive repair shop, and I do value their opinions. However just because a part vendor (with or without a repair shop) recommends a part that they are familiar with, trust, (and hopefully make a good profit on), that doesn't necessarily make other people's parts, knowledge, or opinions irrelevant. Personally, I would like to thank all of those who have provided me with parts, knowledge, and opinions (both on the DML and off-list). You've helped me to form my own opinions and to make informed decisions. Thanks!
