Re: [DML] Magical time for Delorean Owner

[Erik Geerdink <dmcerik@xxxxxxxxx>]

For me, i'll know i'm done with my car when I decide to put the fuse back in for the dome and door lights.  Until then....i'll always be working on my car...i'm sure of it.  Thats ok though.  I can drive it wherever I need and it hasn't let me down.

I'm not sure if other Delorean owners feel the same way or not, but 
since I got my car in April, I always had more of a cautious, 
hesitant feeling about owning and driving the car, due to problems 
that needed figuring out and fixing. This prevented me from 
truly "enjoying" the car. Instead, I remained frustrated and 
worried as I emptied my wallet to fix this or that.

However, after depending on the excellent advice from this group, 
fixing all the "problem" areas that are common to most of the cars 
(but new to me as I learned about them), I reached that point that I 
think many of us battle uphill for as we fix one thing, then two 
other things break! Sure, there are always other items to fix, but 
I can finally say with confidence that my car is reliable after 
fixing coolant problems, electrical upgrades, A/C system, tires, 
brakes, clutch cylinder, exhaust leak, etc. 

I feel like I reached the mountain summit, and can take a deep 
breath the enjoy the view! To take a problem free drive is very 
refreshing and rewarding. I feel like I have now earned my "gull" 
wings and understand what it's like to be a Delorean owner. Do many 
of you feel the same way? As the quest to techincally perfect our 
cars is rewarding in its own way, the real reward for me is 
strapping myself in, grasping the steering wheel, and pulling out of 
the driveway!
