I'm an optimist, not a pessimist. (Obviously, or I wouldn't be tackling this in the first place!) My experiences with my D have all been positive, I have no gripes with the car or its design. I enjoy it thoroughly. Any twenty year old car has special needs. Compared to most, the DeLorean as a whole is very durable and reliable. You needn't worry about DMCTech being a fountain of negativity. I'm editing into a cohesive whole, not letting everybody toss in their conflicting 2 cents worth, though that has its place too. I'm also very big on working with your favorite DeLorean vendor. They are THE primo source for information. No book or website out there will ever take the place of them!. DMCTech is designed to help you understand your car; decide what repairs you want to carry out and when, within your budget; do such repairs as you must and you are technically capable of; direct your local non-DeLorean repair guy if you're not able to use the services of a full service DeLorean shop; and ask intelligent questions when you're talking to your favorite D shop. -Wayne
