Re: Delorean complex?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The Delorean is not a complex car per se, it is just different. This
reminded me of a saying someone once said, "Any technology that you
don't understand is indistiguishable from MAGIC". If the car is
complex to you either you need to study it more or have someone who is
familiar with it do the work on it for you. I wouldn't recomend
learning auto mechanics on a Delorean, there are simpler cars to begin
on but in comparison to a "modern" car with computers, automated
lighting, safety systems like air bags and ABS brakes, multipexed
circuits, cell phones, GPS, and entertainment systems, the Delorean
looks archaic and dated. I agree the car has some quirks and weak
points but by now they are well known and completely fixable.
