Hank, and others who replied: Thank you for your insight! My mind is made up; I will be purchasing a DeLorean for sure. I'll have to wait until later this year, as I am building a 20' hovercraft in my garage and there isn't room for a car in there. My Fiero is happy in the driveway but I won't let a DeLorean live outside. As soon as the hovercraft is complete, I'll be going shopping for my D. >> Now, I've also had alot of work done by PJ Grady >> over the last few years which more quickly added to my Total Cost of Ownership - >> stuff I could not or did not want to do myself: exhaust gasket replacement, >> water pump, new shocks/springs, windshield replacement, window motors, minor >> frame repair, and lots of other things. This year he'll be swapping a >> transmission for me. Some of that list (water pump, exhaust gasket, window motors) looks like a fun Sunday project to me. Working with this car will be no problem. Thank you again for all of your friendly responses. One of the greatest things about owning a vehicle like this is the community behind it. The Fiero community has been great to me and it's nice to know my new "home" will be the same. I'll be lurking and occasionally posting here from now on; When it's time to go shopping I'll let everyone know, and will post pics & info of my D once I buy it. -Ryan To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
