I appreciate the humor but the sign-off is so everyone knows it's not Fatboy! Also from the vin you can guess what color interior, auto or 5-speed, and what recalls may have been done by the factory. By late 82 the recalls were done either in the factory or the QAC centers. On many early cars I have seen some have not had the recalls done. The recalls are serious business as if you are in an accident and the inertia switch didn't unlock the doors and you are unconcious the results could be dramatic! Same goes for the ball joints and the sway bar brackets. The consequenses of a bad fan fail relay or the bypass wire has resulted in Deloreans burning. A broken trailing arm bolt at speed would spoil the rest of your day! This is why every owner should get their car inspected by someone who knows what to look at. Delorean Midatlantic at their annual spring event offers inspections by one of the major Delorean venders free for all members. It is comming up soon (April 26) so anyone interested should contact Dan D. Door adjustments are also free for members so bring your car and join up. This is the next best thing without doing recalls.
