People are not Jellous (well..not most of them) of Delorean owners, nor are they carrying a personal Vendetta against John Delorean. It all comes down to the fact that general public "including people who make books" have a common perception that the car sucks based on the fact that it was only made for three years, and Delorean had all the problems that followed. I love my car, but lets face it...When I saw a show on TLC a few weeks ago based on the DMC-12, and the show is called "Greatest blunders in history" They were right on the money.....And unless you own a Delorean, or are a well educated enthusiest, that is the perception that is implanted in your mind from all the media and general talk. -----Original Message----- From: RJRavalli@xxxx [mailto:RJRavalli@xxxx] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 9:42 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [DML] A disservice to our car > I have seen that "Cars" book too at bookstores, and the > entry about the DeLorean is so obviously written by > someone who doesn't like the car it's not even funny. > It's a cool book with some very nice pictures of the car > and of other cars, but that is a really sour job that was > done on the D.
