Am I the only person to notice this message? Welcome aboard. This car's been a long time coming (wouldn't happen to be painted red, would it? You didn't describe the OUTSIDE). Hopefully your ownership experience will bring more pleasure than pain. As you heard from Jim Prentice at Pigeon Forge, these little cars were very hastily engineered. Yet they age surprisingly well. Survival rate is 75% or so -- a stunning percentage. Most drive to gatherings such as DCS under their own power (vs trailers). Of course they have flaws. Many of them. The amazing thing is: they aren't so riddled with flaws as to be unusable. DeLoreans are honest to goodness production automobiles, from a truly independent manufacturer, that have outlasted LATER models from other companies produced in overwhelmingly larger numbers. May yours be a good one...
