A delorean Omen



Hey all...

As you know, I put my delorean up for sale on ebay,
and also on the list... I ran into a financial problem
that I could not (and still cant) get out of.

I took the Delorean out today for a final washing, and
a drive... and something happened...

As I sat in the garage and started it up, the battery
warning light was on (had the duce rebuilt twice
without it working), and wasn't charging....selling my
D has really, really hurt me.... and knowing the
alternator was bad, I was just going to run to the
carwash and back...as I sat in the car, with the
sinking feeling someone probably has when they give a
child up for adoption, I said, "give me a sign if I am
making a mistake"... and I kid you not - the battery
warning light turned off, and the needle jumped to the
13 mark...it was like she was saying, "don't give me
away."

This shook me up, and I took her out... I drove over
400 miles today - everything working great... the
alternator didnt even twitch with the lights on and a
heavy load.... I burned up over a half tank of gas
(and I knew that thanks to my tankzilla)... and as I
was driving, I realized that there is no way I could
ever get rid of this car, ever (well except when I
die, and it will goto my 6 year old then, because he
loves it as much as I do).... as I washed it at the
carwash, my awww just kept growing....and I am keeping
her.

There are some things in life that cannot be replaced
- and that's loved ones, family members, maybe even
pets...and I came to the reality I will probably
never, ever get a car like this again... even if I got
a different D, this one is special to me...it was my
first real "business contract" that bought it, it was
loved by the one owner before me, who I still talk
with on a regular basis, and it's loved by me. And
nothing in the world makes me feel more proud of
myself than when I get to drive her....I feel like
someone as important as the president of the united
states.... and if the D was alive, I think she would
feel the same way about me....

I'm not a psycho or anything - but I can always
rebuild a credit report, and even if I can't - atleast
I will be a lousy credit profiler who is happy.

I've lost my contracts because of a legal dispute,
I've lost my business, but I still have my family, and
VIN 855 is a member of that family.... and Equifax
cannot take that away.

Mike
