So it's not financially or environmentally moral to have a Delorean??? Maybe, maybe not, on the financial side, but definately better on the environmental side. From a financial perspective, if you keep it in your garage and just look at it, then it may not make financial sense (some of us do this, some use as a daily driver). But if you drive it at all, over the course of your ownership, any miles you put on the Delorean you are not putting on another car, so over time it MAY make sense when compared to a $40,000 Lexus, may not make sense when compared to a $15,000 Saturn. But to make a blanket statement that it doesn't make financial sense is wrong. I drive mine 65 miles each way to work, probably 4 days a week. Over time it should make financial sense (unfortunately it's not from a short term perspective which I'm focusing on right now given some other more immediate needs for the cash). From an environmental perspective it's definately better to buy a 1981 Delorean and drive it than order a 2005 Ford. The amount of resources necessary to produce a new car is relatively MUCH higher, including the electric usage in the factory, the gas usage in transport, the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process, etc etc etc, with a used car the resources needed are minimal. Think of buying a used car as recycling. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "denverdelorean" <denverdelorean@xxxx> wrote: > --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxx> wrote: > > Why not just buy the DMCH exhaust with dual cats, or > > the UK exhaust with the cat? > > > > You can improve the performance, and be moral. > > > Oh Man!! why didn't I think of that?? > > the 1400+ dollar expense comes to mind > > To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
