I dissagree with you on this one. In fact my company (eNovel) will be giving a DeLorean away in a writing contest in 2003. A fully restored 1981 with approximately 5,000 miles on it. Anything that keeps the D in front of people and the enthusiasm high is a plus. We will be taking it to trade shows across the country. My opinion is that the winner must have wanted it or they would not have entered. I will leave the lucky new owner with a list of service centers and a full set of manuals.

Another thing I dont like is people giving them to charities they suffer the same fate at the hands of some ignorant sod. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
