I look forward to meeting new DMC owners! Congratulations Bradley- Just one suggestion- I don't know what shape your new ride is in, or how far you're driving it, but it's about 25 years old, so be careful. If you hear any strange noises, or have any unusual transmission performance, (especially on an automatic,) or smell a burning electrical smell, pull over and park it until you can contact a DeLorean vendor and ask what they suggest. Even if the previous owner assures you it's perfect, even if it has low miles, (most DeLoreans do,) don't press your luck. You don't know your car yet, you or your mechanic haven't gone over all the systems yet I'm assuming, and you could do damage if you decide to press your luck based on adrenaline and optimism. True of any 25 year old car- don't let me put you off. There are many terrific DeLorean owners who'd be glad to help in the Chicago area, and Dave Swingle at DMC Midwest knows his stuff. Have fun!
