[DML] Re: Sad Delorean on Ebay/Originator's comment

Fellow members,
As the originator of this discussion, I must say that those that 
spoke up on this sad Ebay car have said all the right things that 
some cars are never going to be parts cars! It is one method of 
making our cars worth more in the long run by driving other cars into 
the grave with an early retirement. It is still sad to see any 
Delorean at a Auto-wrecker whatever condition it may be in. I can 
only picture the condition that the car could have been in if some 
owners would just have taken better care of their jewel of Ireland by 
doing a little preventative maintenance and abide to recalls on the 
car. Seeing burned-out Deloreans is just not right but it happens. If 
there are moth-balled Deloreans out there in Mini-Storages, once they 
come out of their coccoon, lets make sure that their headlights see 
highway again. I am all for it, guys!! Lets save those Deloreans that 
can still be transformed into a nice looking car. Many kids, that now 
have seen the DVD Back to the Future movies are going to look for a 
Delorean, just like I did back in 1985. We have to make sure that 
these cheaper cars are available to them. Most of us can not afford 
these 25k$$ cars with 2000 miles. Big deal, I have a Delorean to 
drive as much as I can during the dry season, not to look at in my 
garage and tell my friends my car has only 2000 miles on it and 
holding!! Cars are meant to be driven!!
