   OR..... shucks, "loan" it to a DeLorean enthusiast for a while to keep it in shape.  (Pick me! Pick me!)  Then it will be ready to play again when you are.   Well, alright, I'll give you a symbolic buck for it.  Probably  even sell it back for a buck, too.    I'm sorry, I'm just a pack rat. Of the 6 cars I've owned, I still have 4.  I would hate to get rid of anything that nice if I didn't "have" to.  (Oh, cedar strips smell much nicer than moth balls, and do the same job.)    Drive Stainless       Robert    ViN 6924
