re: non-mechanic question

Doug,

As a non-mechanic who has been reading this list for a while, and also
studying the manuals intensely in preparation for owning my own D (which
has been postponed due to the rear-ending of my current vehicle by some
Toyota monstrosity driven by a five-foot-nothing blonde with a cell
phone and a rich daddy), I can say that the DeLorean certainly looks
like a very easy, straightforward car to work on. The only thing you may
come across is not having the proper tools for something (air-tools come
to mind), in which case you can borrow from somebody (and let them watch
you work on your "living legend"), or you can take it to a foreign car
specialist. DeLoreans are great cars. There's a reason they're still on
the road twenty years after they were built. And I don't mean like the
"rebuilt" machines out there, either. Plus, hey, it's a DeLorean! How
cool can you get? ;)

So my advice to you is: Buy it! You will never regret it. :)
