Hello, The best thing to do would be to join a local DeLorean club (even before you own one), read DMCNews.com 'cover to cover', and look at as many DeLoreans as possible before you buy. Why do you want an automatic? Even if you don't know how to drive a manual, you may like the experience more with a manual. I learned how to drive a manual about 1 week before I picked up my D. The D's transmission is very easy to use and is not easy to kill. I think I've only stalled out three or four times in six years (and not once on the 250 mile drive home from delivery). The manual is quicker and returns better gas mileage as well. In case you haven't noticed, i just personally don't like the auto's. Andy hello, 26/m here. getting ready to buy an 81 automatic delorean. any dvice out there besides the usual? i have a ford ranger for a daily river so this will be my weekend vehicle. just want to make sure i ook into every possibilty before i buy one. thanks! -----Original Message----- From: ryen0 <ryen0@xxxxxxxxx> To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 12:16 pm Subject: [DML] about to buy a delorean hello, 26/m here. getting ready to buy an 81 automatic delorean. any dvice out there besides the usual? i have a ford ranger for a daily river so this will be my weekend vehicle. just want to make sure i ook into every possibilty before i buy one. thanks!
