[DML] Re: DeLorean Magazines

["Mike S." <drivestainless@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is an old story, but I haven't posted it for years so . . .

In the early 1990s when I was shopping for my DeLorean, a friend tried
to convince me to get a Porsche instead.  One of his arguments was
that the Porsche community had great support through a magazine,
Porsche Panorama.  He said a low-production marque like DeLorean would
not have a magazine, so real car enthusiasts would never take it
seriously.

A lot of his Porsche friends agreed with him.  Somehow a magazine
legitimized a car.  There was a pathway to connect with vendors and
other owners.

When I discovered DeLorean World (via Hemmings Motor News) I felt
better about my quest.  I had a way to connect with the DeLorean
community.  Thanks to DeLorean World I *did* buy a DeLorean.

Now it is almost seventeen years later, DeLorean owners have new ways
to connect.  Magazines are so twentieth century, even the DML is a
quaint old technology.  But there is still a generation of owners who
value magazines.

I am glad these magazines are available.
