You know, many of us here are very passionate about our cars, which is quite obvious not only by past threads, but by the outrage many here have outright expressed with this particular topic. But just because you don't fully agree, or for whatever other reason you may have, that does not make it acceptable to slam our cars. If you're unhappy with your car for whatever reason, or if you just don't like the people here, or elsewhere involved with the scene, then leave. Sell your car, cut your losses, and move on. It's not the first time that someone has got a DeLorean, and then changed their mind, and it certainly isn't the last. There's nothing wrong with that at all, and even I have had instances where I've purchased a vehicle, and decided to sell it, because it really wasn't what I wanted. And if someone choses to do the same, that's fine. But please do not try and bring everyone else down on your way out. While you own, when you drive, and whenever you post, we all represent each other. These archives are NOT private, and are open to everyone who wants to see them. For many owners (myself included), the mailing list here has been the single best source of positive DeLorean information on the internet. And while the restoration of a car isn't always the easiest task, and everyone here may never agree 100% of the time, saying that the DeLorean is "...not a very good one (car) at that." is TOTALLY false. I myself, and many others here use their cars as daily drivers. And if I didn't think that the DeLorean was a great car in terms of both safety and reliability, I wouldn't have purchased one, let alone drive it daily. Not only do I depend upon my car getting me to, and from work, and everywhere else, I'm willing to bet my own life on it's safety abilities by risking driving my DeLorean in everyday, rush-hour traffic, as do others. And THAT is how great a DeLorean automobile truly is! Now if you don't happen to feel the same way, that's fine. And if you've had a bad experience with the restoration/operation of your car, I'm genuinly sorry to hear that, and I'm sure that everyone here on the list would be more than happy help you out. Which is of course, the reason that we're here. But by the same tolken, just because one car/owner has a bad experience, doesn't mean that's the norm, nor should that be projected out. -Robert vin 6585 "X"
