Re: [DML] My DMC is a financial hole - what should I do at this point

["John M" <giantscorner@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can add to Jon's comments below regarding Delorean One practices.  
I agree 100% it is a shame.  Thank goodness that when I purchased my 
Delorean a few years ago my first encounter with the Delorean 
community was Rob at PJ Grady (Great guy, honest, knowledgable and 
the list goes on)I can't say enough about him.  Anyway, I use all the 
vendors as a purchase resource, that is of course except Delorean 
One.  I tried purchasing from them once, and was turned away because 
my VIN number was not showing me as a customer.  When I called I was 
told buy a very rude and pompus rep that they have so many customers 
on a 12 month waiting list for service that they only sell to them-
WOW... Glad business is so good you don't want my money- Anyway you 
said it, who needs them or their $71K refurb Delorean-Give me a break
