***** Moderator's Note ***** A quick search for "specialty auto" from google turns up over 2800 hits, and searching the yellow pages in Minnesota alone came up with 9 hits. Neither name is unique, and it is unfortunate that we have two active vendors in the DeLorean community with very similar names for their businesses. This is a subject that John and Darryl need to work out between themselves, since business name changes are a very big deal. With this in mind, I am going to end this discussion until Darryl and John want to solicit input from the list. Mike G Moderator of the Week ***** John, Darryl has been around sine the mid 80's selling Delorean parts under the Specialty Auto name. He may not have not gotten on the web with an online store until recently but his name and business has been around quite some time now..how long has your buissnes been around with that name? Just because you decided the drop the "Y" out of Specialty doesn't mean it's an original name. I can understand if Darryl may be irate. When I first heard of Specialty Auto I thought the two were the same company until I started to hear differently from other Delorean vendors and people in the Delorean community. I don't know why you chose to have similar names (lack of originality?) but that's your business. I mean how would it look if I opened up a Delorean parts business and decided to call it "Delorean Motor Coach of Houston" (DMC Houston) or P.G Grady? I don't think it would go over very well as both parties would get extremely Irate and possibly take legal action against me. What I'm saying is have some originality and come up with YOUR unique name that you can build YOUR reputation on. As it is now I can guarantee you that there are some Delorean owners out there who are NOT on the DML think that You and Darryl are one and the same when the hear the name.
