No, nothing to do with availability of parts - I meant less parts to replace in the short term. For example, when I bought my DeLorean, everything was original and as such, everything was shot. Not an excessive amount of miles or anything, just old age. Brakes, clutch, shocks, hoses, radiator (damn those plastic hose bibs), the list goes on and on. A newer car would not have these problems. See, there was nothing wrong with all of these items on my car - they weren't worn from use or abuse - they were just old, brittle, and falling apart more from lack of use and age than anything else. -Ryan ------------------------ Yahoo!
