Claude, Unless you have empirical data to back this wild claim up, please refrain from posting blanket statements about the condition of a car based on where it resides. Everyone knows you can find rusty cars just about anywhere. It's ludicrous to suggest you can take one look at a rusty car and know where it came from - especially a DeLorean where the under-carriage is the only thing that rusts. I'm positive that leaving a DeLorean out anywhere in the Midwest during the summer will bake the interior just like you say it does in the South. Andy In a message dated 01/10/2008 8:28:24 A.M.

(in a shorter period of time).
