Re: Should I or shouldn't I?

I agree totally!
If this really is such a mint specimen then PLEASE keep it original! 
There are very few DeLoreans in such good shape (with such low mileage).
If you have the money and inclination to do any painting and/or other 
customizations, by all means, use one of the many DeLoreans which have 
been sadly neglected and need work anyway, not such a perfect stock example.

By the way, I also live on Long Island. I am not a DMC owner yet, I 
hope to be one day though. Where did you get this car? I think I may 
have seen the car you purchased on eBay once. Email me privately if you 
wanna talk more about DMC's on LI, I'd be happy to chat with you.
