He He. Yeah. I know. I know.

I didn't really choose to use this alternator. A few years ago my alternator
died. I called
all the DeLorean shops I knew of, and no one had a new alternator to sell
me. They all
wanted me to send them my old one to have it rebuilt. The alternator was in
really sad
shape, and I was pretty sure a rebuild was out of the question. So I took it
to a local
alternator shop I knew was good, and they confirmed that is was hopeless,
but said
they could get me a new replacement. So I went there to pick it up, and
there, sitting
on the table, was the box with "Lucas" written all over it. A scream of fear
went off in
the back of my mind, but then I figured I didn't have a better option at the
moment, so I
put it in my car. And over 3 years and 30,000 miles later, I have no
complaints.

It also came with a 3 or 5 year (I can't remember) warranty where they would
pay
towing and service costs if the car broke down because of the alternator.
