It's funny to hear someone referring to a 20-year-old car as being recently "broken-in". :-) My only reservation about having such a low-miles car would be it's treatment over the last 20 years: Was it well maintained? Have all of the Safety Notices been applied? The Delorean is actually a very reliable car. The large number of technical discussions you see here are typical for any car this old. I would take a small amount of tools on any long trip, regardless of the car (extra fuses, etc.). Gus Schlachter Austin, TX VIN# 4695 > -----Original Message----- > From: Howard S.
