The Delorean is not a complex car per se, it is just different. This reminded me of a saying someone once said, "Any technology that you don't understand is indistiguishable from MAGIC". If the car is complex to you either you need to study it more or have someone who is familiar with it do the work on it for you. I wouldn't recomend learning auto mechanics on a Delorean, there are simpler cars to begin on but in comparison to a "modern" car with computers, automated lighting, safety systems like air bags and ABS brakes, multipexed circuits, cell phones, GPS, and entertainment systems, the Delorean looks archaic and dated. I agree the car has some quirks and weak points but by now they are well known and completely fixable.
