My thoughts are I don't have the time or the money to: 1) Get it all at once 2) Pay extra for all the shipping 3) Pay extra for the rental car I would need without the Delorean They would make more money by selling the parts to another dealer in parts but loose on the labor. It should all even out. If I can't get it in parts over time I'll have to look at other options or wait 5 years to have the extra money to do it at once. Which isn't going to happen. I understand DMC-TX design. It's there choice. Too bad though. Jeremy --- In dmcnews@xxxx, srubano@xxxx wrote: > There's that "competition" word again.
