Lauren, Glad to hear that another DeLorean has made it's way to Tucson and to an owner who can appreciate it. We (The Arizona DeLorean Club) plan events occasionally in Tucson and actually have an informal event planned for Saturday, May 22nd. If you are interested please contact myself or someone else in the AZ-D Club, as it would be great to meet you and the car. It's also nice to see more and more 1982's in the club (I have an '82 also, VIN 10920). By the way, I live in the city of CASA GRANDE where you pulled over when you overheated. This may sound a bit defensive, but you really shouldn't describe a town that you apparently know nothing about (and you weren't even in the city limits!). Casa Grande is one of the largest growing cities in AZ. However, I still believe that I have the only DeLorean in the area, which is kind of cool. We hope to hear from you soon...
