Re: Delorean Question

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Well Dan - I'm sure that there are countless ways to answer your 
question, but here is my input ... The mystique surrounding the entire 
DeLorean story, the timeless design, the gull-wing doors and stainless 
steel skin all combine (with many other factors) to create a car with 
a "cool factor" that blows the other two away (IMHO). If you park a 
nice DeLorean next to an NSX, the Acura will get a passing glance as 
the people walk over to get a better look at the D. Also, anybody 
with a checkbook can own a Dodge. Are the other two cars faster than 
the DeLorean? Yes. So, it depends on whether you want to own an 
upgraded Honda or Dodge, or a car with the depth of a great and 
mysterious story and history behind it. Check this out sometime ... 
people will walk up to a Viper, an NSX, a Ferrari, or whatever, and as 
often as not will frown at it, as if to say that "obviously, the owner 
of the car did something wrong to get the car". In my 15 years of 
DeLorean ownership, I can't think of anybody who didn't walk up to the 
car with a smile or look of awe and wonder. Of course, they then open 
their mouths and ask a lame question about cocaine in the doors or 
whatever, but that's part of the charm. Definitely comes down to 
personal choice.
