I've been an owner for about 2 weeks and can't possibly know everything there is to know in a time frame of less than 60 days >> The DML is a great forum for asking questions, especially if you're a new owner. There are 4 great sources for DeLorean info: (in no particular order) 1) the fulltime professional DeLorean shops for specific and reliable info; 2) the manuals for general info but they're like looking for a word in the dictionary when you don't know how to spell it... mixed results and they can't talk back; local D clubs with experienced members... if you're lucky enough to avail yourself; and 4) the DML where most questions can get a reasonable answer (usually) without making you feel dumb. I've learned a lot by reading the DML, getting my newbie... okay, my dumb questions out of the way, then I have a bit of a handle on the subject when I call my supplier to order parts. Works for me! Tomorrow it'll be one year since I became a DeLorean owner. Still livin' the dream! :) Wayne A. Ernst vin 11174
