Re: [DML] [New Owner Here] Re: delorean pricing, first time driver

["Gabe W." <thecreech@xxxx>]

The first delorean I saw was in back to the future, and I think its a great
movie, but thats not why I'm interested in buying one. I also saw a
(lowered) delorean in a car museum awhile back(in pretty bad condition, yet
on display) and I couldn't leave it. Everyone else walked forward and I just
stayed there glaring at it. Even though it wasn't the most expensive or
fastest, It was certainly the best for me. When I found out you could get a
delorean for 20k and less I was nicely suprised.
