I'm not sure if other Delorean owners feel the same way or not, but since I got my car in April, I always had more of a cautious, hesitant feeling about owning and driving the car, due to problems that needed figuring out and fixing. This prevented me from truly "enjoying" the car. Instead, I remained frustrated and worried as I emptied my wallet to fix this or that. However, after depending on the excellent advice from this group, fixing all the "problem" areas that are common to most of the cars (but new to me as I learned about them), I reached that point that I think many of us battle uphill for as we fix one thing, then two other things break! Sure, there are always other items to fix, but I can finally say with confidence that my car is reliable after fixing coolant problems, electrical upgrades, A/C system, tires, brakes, clutch cylinder, exhaust leak, etc. I feel like I reached the mountain summit, and can take a deep breath the enjoy the view! To take a problem free drive is very refreshing and rewarding. I feel like I have now earned my "gull" wings and understand what it's like to be a Delorean owner. Do many of you feel the same way? As the quest to techincally perfect our cars is rewarding in its own way, the real reward for me is strapping myself in, grasping the steering wheel, and pulling out of the driveway!
