I have had my DeLorean about three years, and it has lived outside forall
three of those years (part of the time in a car port....all of the time at
apartment complexes). The only real problem I have had with it being out
year round is people wanting to touch the Stainless Steel. Usually not a
problem, but when the car is dusty, and they run their fingers over it, youcan
get scratches.
I did have the front grill stolen off of my car and the radio ripped
out.....but I blame myself for having to leave it at work overnight (and I guess
I forgot to set the alarm). At least they were nice enough to completely
reclose the doors after poking around. (nothing else taken from the car
(even the CD's, $500 camera, and other "goodies").
That is the only time I have had problems...never when parked at a
residence.....even in questionable areas

Subject: [DML] Standalone DMC-12
This is a subject that has been on my mind a lot lately.
How many of you owners out there on the list do NOT keep your car reguarly
garaged?
Do you feel safe leaving your car out on the street?
After all the car usually draws admiring glances.
I remember one owner had his D stolen from his DMC emblem on the grill. I
reckon that was probably sliced off with a kraft knife or something as
nothing else was reported broken or missing...
I suppose a few bits of trim may be taken but luckily the Delorean is pretty
solid and whole and lacks ornatmental gubbins that are stuck on just for
show....
The reason I ask this is that it will take longer to buy a DMC if I have to
find a home with a garage first.
