I agree with John 100%. It is just a car, nothing more. I could understand more if it was 100% DMC Delorean but face it, this car is a frankenstein of the automobile world, it has parts on it from all of the popular MFG's at the time. I am not a Delorean mechanic and never claimed to be, but with the mechanical skills I learned through out the years I Pulled my Engine and transmission, replaced the front and rear main seals, extracted broken manifold studs, painted the engine bay, replaced the waterpump, cleaned the VOD, did a DMCH performance exhaust job, flushed the coolant, rebuilt my CV joints plus many more projects to the car and never been certified as a Delorean mechanic and my old car is still running and the engine and transmission hasn't fallen out yet driving down the road. The new owner is very happy with it and was amazed at the professional looking job I did with cleaning up the engine and powdercoating the valve and timing covers along with the intake manifold. All by not being Delorean certified. Take your car to a trusted mechanic is all you need to do. All of the Delorean DMCH shops that just opened up are not Delorean certified mechanics except for Don Stegar and Rob Grady, the rest are just mechanics that you find at any Joe's Garage. I am not saying this is a bad thing at all since there are lots of excellent mechanics that work at Joe's garage.
