Hi all,

I hope you guys read this all. Sorry its so long. But it does give 
a little background on me and why I joined this list ;) As well as 
some questions since I am considering becoming an owner.

I have loved the DeLorean for as long as I remember (probably 
since I saw Back To The Future Pt I considering I wasn't in 
kindergarden when they stopped making the car). I have always thought 
it would be the coolest car to own and drive. It has always been a 
future goal to own my very own one. 

Now that I am older than I was (didn't really grow up) I think its 
more of a reality that I could get one. But I figured I should find 
out what owning one is like before I make a mistake because I was 
disillusioned. I wouldn't want one that would sit for ever collecting 
dust because I didn't have the time to fix it. I spent a lot of 
yesterday reading through the dmcnews webpage (was very glad to 
randomly find it) and through the previous posts for the last month. 
I learned alot, including that there was no electric motor powered 
doors which made the car a death trap (which I heard from an 
unreliable source). Any way let me get to the point. They seem to 
take a lot of time. And I was wondering how much time. I mainly want 
to know how much time would be needed to keep it in good running 
condition. (and looking nice :) ) I am looking into getting it as a 
second car (sometime when I have the money) and using it for my 
commute to work (which right now is 1 mile but that will change in 
the next year or so). I hope no one offended by me wanting to do that 
but I think it would be the coolest car to drive around. Is this a 
good thing to use it for or not? 

I would appreciate any input :)

Thanx
John
