My son and wife are listed on my DOA membership. Don't know if they consider 
us one member of their total count or three, (either would be legitimate, I 
figure,) but we only have one DeLorean. Likewise my son and I both are 
DML'ers. Actually, I personally am "two" since it get it digest form in a 
different screen name for archival purposes. And some DML'ers are not owners, 
just tire kickers. (Like I once was.) Really kind of hard to tell from any of 
these subscriber lists. Considering how rare it is to see one on the road, 
there may be only a few hundred actually on the road. Other than in the 
vicinity of a car show or D shop, (or ones I was test driving,) I've only 
once seen one on the road in the last twenty years! I know there were at 
least five other local or fairly local owners.
