Kevin - Very eloquently stated and I could not agree more with you. In the early days the DOA definitely had a place in the DeLorean community. Now with the internet, strong regional Clubs, DCS and several publications their unique marketing position no longer exists. Most who know me realize that I am a advocate of developing and maintaining regional clubs and joining the DOA seems counter intuitive. Due to a serious illness of a family member I will not be in attendance at DCS 08 and lament the situation. Looking forward to DCS 09 West in Vegas where the AZ-D will be a supporting the team to ensure that the first ever West Coast show is more than successful. Have a great time in Gettysburg and look forward to your usual excellence in photographic coverage of the show. Just my $ .02 of gas that just spilled on the ground....
