Remote Locks and the DeLorean Vendors

[lhemb@xxxx]

I must take issue with the gentleman who slammed the parts vendors and those 
amongst us who are mechanically challenged. I have owned Harvey (vin 5830) 
since 1989. I also own a 1931 Ford and a 1956 Thunderbird that I have had 
longer than Harvey. The marque specific parts vendors are an essential part 
of keeping these old cars on the road. Without these vendors, these cars 
would have to have been made into hot rods to keep them operational. I have 
always tried to give a portion of my business to each of these vendors; I 
want them there and in business in the future. I have followed the same rule 
with my DeLorean parts purchases. I want those guys out there to help me keep 
Harvey going. As to the issue of the remote unit for the Lockzilla, I am 
technically competent to purchase a generic unit and make it work with the 
Lockzilla. I prefer to purchase the Zilla unit and support the folks who are 
there for us.

The gentleman who is so down on the vendors also refers to his DeLorean as 
"Devil Car" and feels no responsibility to continue the car's existence in 
any way. I feel just the opposite about my collector cars. These cars 
(including Harvey) are bit of automotive history and need to be preserved in 
their original state or as close thereto as possible. I greatly enjoy having, 
driving and showing off these cars, but I also look upon owning these cars as 
more of a stewardship than ownership. It is my responsibility to maintain and 
preserve them during my tenure of ownership. Remember that in only three more 
years DeLoreans with become officially recognized antique automobiles by the 
Antique Automobile Club of America.
