Wait until an H2 goes by and count the lugnuts. :)

I believe Dick Ryan has one of those stick-on concave "blindspot
mirrors". Also, somebody on the DML (and possibly here) was looking into
manufacturing concave mirrors for the D. You might throw your line out
and see if anybody bites.

I noticed this while in Louie's car, as I too suffer from Costanza
Wallet Syndrome.

Cool! Be sure to post the results. We're all curious.
Glad to know all your elbowgrease and "Oh ----" continues to pay off.
With people parting out DeLoreans, it's nice to see the opposite
happening. :) FWIW, I use the story of Project Vixen to silence anybody
who thinks I'm crazy for wanting to buy an *assembled and running*
DeLorean, and also to silence anybody who says I'm too nuts to find a
girl who will put up with my craziness. :)
You're an inspiration to us all. Well, guys and DeLorean nuts anyway. :P
