Bernie, Marv, The drive to and from Las Vegas has claimed many an angle drive. Mine went on the previous Las Vegas run and when it quits I also lose cruise control. I will say this: Marv has GPS in his car and there is a digital speedometer on it which continued to function. One more reason to spring for GPS. That's a heck of a lot better than trying to explain to the officer that you were going "00". We had 12 DeLoreans at the party and 14 owners for a total of 33 people. 10 cars showed up later at the show as well. It was really a good time to be had by all. We had owners from as far away as Las Vegas, Tucson, and Houston, TX. One of our owners had just returned from Maine that morning and still chose to spend the day with us. We really have a great group! I hope everyone will make some time to come join us this year.
