Mark in New Orleans Mark, I lived in Southern California when I bought my DeLorean in May 1982. My wife and I decided to go to Las Vegas to celebrate the new car. We stoped at Hoover dam on the way to Vegas. We were gone not more than 30 minutes and when we came back there was a print of a hikeing boot on the D. Under the dusty print was a dent that went in about 3". Imagine how I felt, a brand new car and some sorry SOB had put a boot print in the side. It stayed that way for about 6 months, when one day a friend that was a car nut said he would try his plunger and see if the dent would come out. It did and that is the only thing that happened to this day. The car is a daily driver and I have all ways lived in big city areas (read the burbs like Metarie).
