Would I be ok driving this on the weekends like I want to, or should 
I buy another Delorean for that, and shrink-wrap this one in a 
carcoon? >>

Sounds like your driving yourself nuts. You can't take it with you....In my 
mind the car is to enjoy as much and as often as possible. The splendid 
condition is your good fortune and for your benefit. If I were you I'd enjoy 
it the way it was intended to be enjoyed. You have equity in the car. 
Maintain it. Give it everything it needs when it needs it and your equity 
will remain. It's what it's worth to you that's important. Having something 
you value highly is of no benefit if you live in constant fear of loosing it. 
There is no reason that car can't look and perform the way it does now with 
50,000 or 100,000 miles on it. Protect the frame from corrosion and the 
interior from sun. The rest is simple....

On the other hand, I know that in my life, everything I own is for sale. 
Including my Delorean. It's the price thats the issue. If someone offered me 
more than it was worth to me I'd sell it. There's 36 Deloreans for sale in 
the US right now on TraderOnline. You could probably replace it functionally 
quite easily. And if you could do it and have money left in the bank when 
you're done....why not.
Just my 2 cents....
