You gotta be kiddin me, the car has simple systems. Compared to a modern car it's child play. Fickle is another story but fickle does not imply complexity. How can the car be simple and yet fickle? Thats even simpler: Bad design and execution. Or bad maintenance during it's lifetime. But overly complex? Not even close. Complexity is in the brain of the beholder, it's all a matter of how much you're willing to learn and how much effort you put into keeping it from being fickle. >>The DeLorean is NOTHING at all like a good old simple American muscle car for the '60s or '70s. They're overly complex and EXTREMELY fickle little machines.<<
