Hey folks-- First off, thanks to all those who helped out with the insurance. Latest news--State Farm said NO to insurance on the "D". Despite my plea, they would create a new policy for me. So, I went down the street to Allstate. I now have full coverage on my D, plus liability on my second car for $1200 for 6 months. Agent says he can probably get me down to $800 b/c I have a decent driving record but he needs to get driving records, etc. Anyways I know that's not great, but it will at least get the car in my garage from PA. I plan to hire a broker when I get back next week to find some decent rates. The trip...I needed the insurance so I could pick up the car in PA Friday morning. I will fly to PA tomorrow night, then drive back Fri/Sat to Scott AFB, IL. Iam a little worried about driving 700 miles in a D. Any suggestions? The car...1982,VIN#10188, stainless, flat hood, WIDE black dealer stripe on sides. Grey Interior. 5 speed. From photos looks like car is in real good shape(i.e. no dents, cracks, tears, etc). The bad news...a/c needs replacing...so I'm gonna sweat like crazy on the way home. Older gentleman got car from bank after co signing a loan. Wants the value he put into loan...$8500. Car looks like it will be a little work, but well worth the price. Mileage--odometer broken, shows 36k but owner thinks it is around 50-60k. Had mechanic go over it and could't find any probs. He drives it twice a week to work just to keep it broken in. No prblems. Ok, well that's about it. I have read the advice on what to look for in a Delorean on the website. Is there anything else I need to look at? What about the journey home? Anyone enroute would like to meet for food, talk?(Could anyone help if I have trouble <sigh>) I plan to stop in Dayton, OH for the night as I take I-70 W. That's about it. Next challenge will be finding AFFORDABLE insurance, licensing, titling, etc. in IL. But I'll woryy about that when I get back. Sorry to waste so much text. Talk to everyone soon. Nate Nathan E.
