Steve, I'm not trying to start another painted verses non painted thread but I have to say if I saw several DeLoreans lined up together, I too would want to see the painted one but only because it's a curiosity. I suppose the same thing could be said about our cars in general at car shows but that stainless is such a rare thing in the automotive world.
