[DML] Re: Fuel Pickup Hose

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

Well of course I want things to go my way! Who doesn't? ;) If I were 
complacent and accepting of things as they appear, how could I, or 
anyone for that matter change things to acheive gaining what they 
want out of life?

I understand about the nesesity of core parts back. After all, I did 
speak with you quite a while back about the possibility of obtaining 
some custom barrier hoses from you, and you related back to me the 
difficulty you've had in the past on obtaining the core couplings on 
the hoses back. Which has in turn prevented you from keeping these 
hoses in stock, ready to ship out. So yes, I not only understand the 
nessesity of core returns, but also felt the first hand impact of not 
recieving those back. But in my original post, I wan't complaning 
about having to return parts, nor did I ever question the quality of 
vendor parts. I was however simply indicating the inconvience that 
was caused for a persona such as myself, who is in a particular 
situation. Which is the sacrifice that has to be made to insure 
quality control for the components I buy and install. I'm sure that I 
could easily have used some crossover parts noted on a list or two 
that are floating around on the internet. But take note. I NEVER 
indicated that common auto parts store should even be considered for 
sourcing out DeLorean parts.

Common Sense is a fine thing, in moderation. Common Sense told me not 
to sell off a new vehicle with a warranty, so I could spend that car 
payment on the restoration of a basket case vehicle that no one else 
wanted, and that was going to require a significant amount of 
repairs. So if I had listened to common sense, I wouldn't have the 
pleasure of driving my dream car on a daily basis, nor would any 
vendors have had the opprotunity of accepting my money in exchange 
for the various car parts that I have used in my restoration. So the 
way that I see it, lack of "Common Sense", and the personal drive of 
my ego to keep my car on the road seems to have been quite beneficial 
so far, for both/all of us.

Aside from that, I do not look upon my DeLorean ownership experiences 
as a burden. I quite enjoy the fact that not only do I drive a D, I 
drive it daily, and I have restored it at the same time. I do 
not "blame" anyone for my situation. What some view as a predicment, 
I view as a challenge. It's totally of my own volition, and my own 
enjoyment!
