Re: [DML] Deloreans magazine

[senatorpack@xxxx]

People,

The price of used DeLorean cars are reasonable. Unfortunately, fixing 
them up & enjoying them is very expensive. To give an analogy, compare the 
car to an evening at the movies. The admission price is reasonable, however 
the confections and refreshments are expensive compared to what you are 
probably familiar with.
Here on the DML, we read the weekly trials and frustrations (and joy) of 
owning a DeLorean. The frustration of repairing a DeLorean is a 
paradox...sometimes wonderful, and at certain times beyond challenging.

DeLorean World, or any DeLorean related magazine is not, "EuroTuner, Car 
Craft, Hot Rod, Muscle Car Craft, Mustang Vs Camero update, etc., etc., 
etc....

I don't believe that you are going to find articles in ANY DeLorean 
magazines in the future that describe in full detail how to restore a frame, 
grind cams, port & polish heads, or how to turn your $5,000 project DeLorean 
into a Concourse competitor or brute force muscle car.

The DeLorean service centers make a substantial living repairing 
DeLoreans, and for them to write feature length articles on trade secrets is 
advantageous to their DeLorean business.

The purpose of DeLorean World is very similar to "Acura Driver Magazine," 
"Quest Magazine from Rolls Royce" etc. The car is not the sole purpose of the 
owners obsession, avocation or lifestyle. Their car is significant, 
important, and very much a contributing factor to their enjoyment of 
life...they have a life beyond owning a car.

If you want to go very fast in a DeLorean find a long stretch of road, or 
rent a race track for you and your friends, or shut your eyes and imagine you 
are Marty McFly. 
If you want to build a race car, keep a journal of your efforts or start 
enjoying life and buy something else that suits 100% of your needs.
