I just rolled over 35,000 last month. The most miles I have put on my car so far were driving from Detroit to Houston and back for the show at DMCH, 2,800 miles round trip. I was a bit nervous at first, but now I know I can drive it anywhere. I bought my Delorean to show AND to drive/have fun with, and that's what I'm doing!
