[DML] I need some ammunition

["Tom Porter" <treehouse2000us@xxxxxxxxx>]

As many a young people, I have been lerking on the list, occasionaly 
posting, even once or twice very serious in attempts to purchase 
cars, but now I have severly run into a snag that I knew was 
coming... just hoped and prayed it would be swept under the rug.

Today I was looking at a Pontiac Fiero.  In the deep woods of Maine, 
its hard to find any cars other than the run of the mill fords or 
hondas.  My dad was in utter discust about the 2 seater and the whole 
concept, and here I was pretty darn estatic to see such a rare 
car "for the area."  

I have bugged his ear off about the DeLorean now for more than 10 
years, and I recently reached the $15 k mark in my savings.  Is there 
any thing I can say to my father that would make it easier for him to 
accept that I want a 'small sports car' (or even that I own 
one..soon).  He just doesnt get it through his head that these things 
are fun, yeah a little more work than a Honda, and yes, parts may be 
a little harder to find, but its all about image.  My grandma refers 
to the DeLorean as an old peice of crap... why dont you get a new car 
Tom?  I have yet to test drive any "new" car off the lot that was fun 
to drive.  Really the 80's sports cars are the best, and the DMC in 
my oppion is at the top of that heep.

Also, if you own a 84-86 Fiero and you have a few minutes, could you 
email me about problem areas... this one I found is dirt cheap.

Thanks
