I agree with your points. My DeLorean sits outside 24/7; I have no garage. I have been great friends with everyone that lives around me, so alot of people keep their eyes on my car for me when I'm not around. I have my DeLorean parked near the management office where there almost always is a fresh set of eyes. We've had some people heavily partying very close to the area my DeLorean is parked in; I just have faith that the residents will keep their friends on a leash. If not, someone other than me will pay for it. Now 2 weeks ago, we did have a sizeable windstorm with winds averaging at times 45-55 mph. Since my area was hit by Ivan just 3 months ago and I park under trees (which may still be weak or have weak branches), I moved both my vehicles from their normal parking spots. Nothing happened but still...no chances.. Last night, someone's Nissan Sentra was involved in a hit and run rear end while sitting in its parking spot, crushing its rear lense and damaging the rear bumper...maybe at most 30 feet at almost a 90 degree angle from where my DeLorean sits. After reading about the DeLorean recently vandalized and than seeing that Nissan nailed pretty badly in under 30 minutes, I lost a hour of sleep or so =P. That's ok; I woke up at 10 today =P. I think I'll be reutilizing my car cover...out of sight out of mind.. Jeremiah __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
