[DML] Re: Over-valued?

[DeLorean31@xxxx]

This is exactly the reasoning I follow when trying to get out to shows and 
events and talk to people about the DeLorean. I repeatedly meet people, as I 
am sure all owners do, who have many misconceptions about the DeLorean. 
Recently while I attended the Atlantic City Classic car auction I was asked 
countless questions as I stood next to the DeLorean that was there. Probably 
because of my DeLorean Jacket :-) Anyway people are really interested in our 
cars at events like these and other shows. I believe there is no better way 
to promote the marque than by getting out and attending these events so the 
public can see the cars. Also so we as knowledgeable owners can educate 
people about the truths about the DeLorean such as reliability, availability 
of cars and parts, and so on and to dispel the many misconceptions we all 
hear such as "That's a Ford motor right?" or "They only made a thousand of 
these because they were unreliable" and so on. I am sure we have all heard 
our share. I know I did before I started researching about DeLoreans to 
eventually buy one. It was knowledgeable and courteous owners (and 
especially the DML) that lead me to be an informed buyer, which resulted in 
my purchasing a really nice D. I don't think I would have drove from NJ to 
Michigan to buy my car if it weren't for the people on this list, and other 
owners and specialists like Rob Grady for one, who helped me to be aware of 
all the things to look for in a DeLorean when considering buying one. In any 
event, when we can meet people and talk to them and get the real story of the 
DeLorean out there, then we are helping to promote our cars collectability 
and value. And also help others to eventually Live The Dream.

cars is to put them in car shows. Let people see them. Let people know 
they're obtainable, reasonably priced and repairable. It was the sight of 
Gary Gore's D at two car shows a few weeks apart that convinced me that I 
wanted a D, and could actually go through with it. >>
