Adam, I'd suggest you attend a local event with your wife. Let her experience the "total package" that comes along with DeLorean ownership. It is also a good opportunity to see LOTS of DeLoreans up close, and get advice from people who have gone through what you are about to do. Maybe you can join us at the DMA Fall Tour. It is a short ride from NC. In attendance will be Ken Koncelik from DeLorean Car Show (Who has been known to restore/sell DeLoreans), James Espey from DMCH, Dave Swingle long time DMA moderator and now Vendor, and Dan Shane from DMCL. This will be a great opportunity for you to meet and chat with lots of DeLorean experts. http://www.deloreanmidatlantic.com/events/FallTour2006/falltour2006.htm --- "Adam B." <adamb35@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Greetings! > For the first time in my life, I have the means to > get my dream car, without stretching my finances to > the limit.
