Any owners near Gainesville, FL?

[Wade Shapiro <shapiro3@xxxx>]

I have always loved DeLoreans, and since I graduate college next week I 
am more seriously thinking about getting one within the next year. 
Unfortunately, I have only gotten to ride in one and that was a few 
years ago so I don't remember it much. I was wondering if there is 
anyone near Gainesville, FL (or anywhere in North/Central Florida) that 
wouldn't mind showing off their car one day and taking me for a 
spin....I won't go as far as to ask for a test drive of somebody's baby 
:) My main concern is acceleration...I know they are not speed demons, 
and I am used to driving Corvettes which are in a whole different 
league, but do they feel peppy or do they feel underpowered? If I 
bought one it would have to be a 5-speed as I am a diehard manual 
transmission fan.

Please contact me off the list at my e-mail address below.

Thanks,
Wade Shapiro
