Gee whiz people, get a life. You'd think I'd criticized the President from flaming eMails. It's a car, not a God. Will post one open two word reply then forget the issue (am not replying to eMails): Ford F150. Changed thermostat, radiator, and heater hoses on the truck: 30 minutes. Same for DeLorean: 2 weekends ("internal" water pipe is very much external, thank you very much). Changed headlights on the truck: 15 minutes. Same for DeLorean: 90 minutes. Replaced master and slave cylinders on the truck: 1-2 hours (with bleeding). Shudder to think how long little silver car will take when its time comes. Need any more examples? Don't get me wrong -- I like my D very much. Am very glad I have one. Key word in that sentence is "one". Don't have time or patience for a fleet (imagine if ratio of Lincolns to DeLoreans was other way around!). #5939 has found its last owner. Is already becoming a fixture up & down I-95 (and I-85, eh Louie). Should log 10K miles annually no problem. And it remains a car with significant access issues. Bill Robertson #5939
