[DML] Re: Generic parts for this guy!

["Jack Singer" <jsinger@xxxx>]

I have restored 11 Deloreans so far and Generic works fine if you know what
you are looking at. How little can a person know about autos if they think
that Auto Zone sells parts that dont work. There will always be a top line
and a low line of auto parts. The low line may not last as long as the
expensive parts, but they do work great.

<<The problem with auto-zone, at least for me... they have NO product line
that I've ever seen before... talk about GENERIC! (most of their parts seem
to look better when installed upside down!) I would far rather get a master
cylinder from one of the DMC specialty shops, (possibly paying a many $$
more) and know that it's correct for my DMC, than deal with some
"fast-Eddie's auto parts" one size-fits all, scandanavian replacement.>>

This type of message is very disturbing to me. If you don't recognize some
of
the product lines at Auto Zone than you must not be very familiar with auto
parts manufacturers. Auto Zone is not "some fast-Eddie's auto parts". They
have well over 1400 stores nation wide. Besides that in the original post it
was said that it was the exact same part, right down to the casting numbers.
Not a "generic".

<<In short, generic SUCKS! Buy the real thing, or get an automobile a bit
less tempermental about parts choice... like a '77 Pinto.>>

And on a more personal note. I always wonder why when someone disagrees
about
something that someone is doing to their DeLorean, the offended person tells
the other guy to get rid of his DeLorean and buy something else. I guarantee
that no two DeLorean owners are alike. They range in age, up bringing,
income, location, etc. That to me is what makes DeLorean owners so great.
They are all different. They all own the car for different reasons. And they
all have their own ideas of what should and shouldn't be done. I think we
should all respect that and try to be more factual and a little less
opinionated.
