Cam, You should surf the web and look at similar lists for other cars. Mailing lists are designed for owners to share technical information regarding problems, repairs, parts and more. The DML is no different. Owners are not going to post messages to say: my car runs great, I have no problems, what do I do ? If you look through the archives you will notice that in between the service issues there is an overwhelming number of posts from owners talking about how much they love their DeLorean's and what great cars they are. If you are considering buying any limited production automobile that is 18 years (plus) old, don't expect to own a vehicle that is problem free. If you are having second thoughts about owning a DeLorean you probably shouldn't purchase one.
