(continued from the previous post) So what's my overall opinion? Am I mad at the DOA? No. Will I still join? The answer is a very loud YES. Even after this slap in the face to over 1100 people, many of which have taken enormous amounts of their own time, going FAR out of their way to help me, seeking nothing in return... I will still fork over my money to the organization that has gone so far out of its way to be so hurtful to us. Why then would I possibly still even consider joining? It's simple. They care about the marque. With a passion. With great passion, actually. That's the way all of us who love DeLoreans feel. And despite what ever direction your passions might take you, I will still respect you for simply even -having- the passion. I just wish the DOA could feel the same. A difference of opinion is not a sin. Open discussion is not bad. The DOA does a lot for the DMC community, and we all owe them a great debt. It's just sad to see them so angry, so petulant, over discovering they are not the only game in town. It's also sad, but apparently an unfortunate truth, that simply by writing this article, I will likely be forever banned from buying parts from "One" DeLorean supplier. If the DOA truly wishes to expand the fame, recognition, and camaraderie of the DeLorean marque, they need to welcome -all- opinions, from any and ALL sources. To do otherwise is to deliberately drive a wedge right through the middle of the DMC community. Now, having said my peace, I will click "send" and welcome (unlike some others) responses to my one-man editorial. -Dave Stragand Vin #5927 http://www.ProjectVixen.com
