To sum it up. I love my car not its value. We are truely blessed to be able to own this historical car. I have owned mine for almost 10 years now and have never regretted it. John Z. built a strong reliable car that will last forever when properly maintained. The DOA was my first DeLorean organization that I became a member of and I intend to stay a member. They helped me when there was no list to go to. The DeLorean mailing list then came and they to have been of great service. Both are a needed member of the DeLorean family. I dont own my car as an investment as there are much better investments to be had. I believe for most of us we love to drive and work on our cars as it is theraputic to the sole. We love DeLoreans. Its as simple as that. The DOA does their thing and the DML does theirs. For those of you who are reading this list for the first time and are contemplating a DeLorean purchase you have come to one of the best places on Earth to find out what you need. You will find that parts are available and help is just around the corner. The car is strong and will give you many years of joy as a collectors car or as a daily driver. A free discussion usualy covers the full spectrum of positive and yes negetive and this list contains the good and the bad as any free discussion would. I would not have it any other way if I were moderator. You must allow for freedom of speech. Is there realy anything else that truely needs to be said about this matter. Enjoy your DeLoreans. Jim
