Re: [DML] The Latest Issue of DW from DOA

["Randal Atamaniuk" <martydmc12@xxxx>]

I've read many negative comments over the past few years on the mailing list 
and abroad about the DOA. I have been a member myself for 10 years +, and 
have no intention of leaving, as many have done. I think based on comments 
like this one here...

"Instead of this main audience, the DOA has chosen a TARGET AUDIENCE... 
those who are really more interested in a lifestyle than a car. They want to 
flaunt DeLorean ownership as an experience akin to being a member of an 
elite country club which has an exclusionary membership policy"

... you're forgetting a very important element to the DeLorean and its 
history. This attitude taken, is what John DeLorean's original intention 
and vision was. How many times have we heard it, the DeLorean is a car for 
the Bachelor who's made it. The car went up against Covette, Mercedes, 
Porsche and another elite vehicles. This car wasn't intended for the 
average Joe. Just because DeLoreans are more affordable today, than they 
would have been in 1981, doesn't mean they should be treated that way. It's 
not a right to own a DeLorean, but a privelage. And the DOA continues to 
respect that ideaology.
