I've read many negative comments over the past few years on the mailing list
and abroad about the DOA. I have been a member myself for 10 years +, and
have no intention of leaving, as many have done. I think based on comments
like this one here...
"Instead of this main audience, the DOA has chosen a TARGET AUDIENCE...
those who are really more interested in a lifestyle than a car. They want to
flaunt DeLorean ownership as an experience akin to being a member of an
elite country club which has an exclusionary membership policy"
... you're forgetting a very important element to the DeLorean and its
history. This attitude taken, is what John DeLorean's original intention
and vision was. How many times have we heard it, the DeLorean is a car for
the Bachelor who's made it. The car went up against Covette, Mercedes,
Porsche and another elite vehicles. This car wasn't intended for the
average Joe. Just because DeLoreans are more affordable today, than they
would have been in 1981, doesn't mean they should be treated that way. It's
not a right to own a DeLorean, but a privelage. And the DOA continues to
respect that ideaology.
