[DML] Re: Extensive miles on a DeLorean

[Michael Sanchez <Sokar@xxxx>]

i think i'm pretty good on the insurance, i already own a 61 MGA and a 65
Mustang.. Both considered collector cars, and my insurance company just
laughs at me when i tell them i actually drive them =) But thanx for the
info tho!
