When I purchased my Delorean, I had to drive it 372 miles home, was stuck in a traffic jam, sitting still for 1-2 hours in 80+ degree weather. It took 10 hours for me to arrive home. My Delorean had no problems at all. A week later I drove it another 255 miles. Again with no problems. My kids and I love it. I have also dropped my 9 year old off at school, and he was the talk of the class. People come up to me all the time, asking questions. I help raise money for the Childrens Miracle Network ( Childrens Hospital ), one person offered to give me a donation if I would give him a ride in it. These people on the DML help each other, like family. Even real family members give bad advice sometimes. That is part of it. It does not matter what the DOA or the editors in Delorean World thinks. It's the thought of helping other Delorean owners, that is the most important thing. Dave
