[DML] Re: A message to prospective DeLorean owners

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got to see your work first-hand. Not one of the cars was in running condition, in fact, on one of them the panels were just laying on the body! We found just about all of the doors were all banged up and when we asked you why you told us. You said "Since there were no "ways" or rules and you made things up as you went along, you just unbolted the doors without undoing the torsion bars"! Parts were strewn all over the places (2 as I recall, your house and your storage building) mixed up with other kinds of car parts. I have never heard of any owners who had work done by you and can speak to the quality of your work. It just appears you took a bunch of Deloreans apart. That hardly qualifies you as an expert on Deloreans. What you call pioneering I call hacking up a bunch of cars.
