[DML] Re: Some books are so wrong.

It looks like you've got that Quentin Wilson book. Why he hates our 
cars so much, I'll never know.

However, I can tell you for certain that the A/C systems were not 
bad. In fact, my mechanic who was the head mechanic for the Las Vegas 
dealership told me that the Air Conditioning system on the DeLorean 
was the most prided part of the car. He'd seen almost every possible 
problem go wrong with the cars, but not a single soul had ever 
complained about the A/C. And we're talking about the 120°F Las
Vegas 
desert here.

The writer of the book is clearly biased, and the archives here have 
some stories about him. He's spoken with DeLorean owners in the past, 
and given them nothing but praise. And then has used their cars for 
photo shoots, and ripped them to shreds.

A funny car book that just came out is called, "Automotive 
Atrocities". I picked up a copy a few weeks ago.

Funny as hell! And yes, both the DeLorean and the Bricklin are listed 
in the book. However, the writer was pretty honest, and didn't really 
have anything negative to write about the DMC-12 car itself. He even 
gave it kudos as being one of the very few cars that are appriciating 
in value. Although, he wasn't positive about JZD, (he had worse 
things to say about the Cosworth Vega). The author has a VERY sharp 
wit, and pulled no punches on the other cars. So it took me back a 
little.
