RE: [DML] The DeLorean's bad habits. (cold weather use)

I had my DeLorean out in Colorado for 2 winters, and when the roads were
clear I drove it every day. It did great in 10 degree weather. Never had
any problems getting it started, or keeping it running in either the cold or
the heat.

If you are worried about having to get the car running after a dead battery,
it might be worth your money to get a jump pack (like are found on tow
trucks). For ~$100 you can get a mobile jumper that will stow in the hood
for emergency jump starts

Hey All,
I am in the process of getting a D and I have a few questions for all
the long time owners. I live in San Franciso, It's temperature is
usually about 50 degrees. I was wondering what starting the Delorean
is like in the mildly cold weather every single day of the year? Plus
I am planning on doing my daily errands in the D. Does the D have any
problem with starting and stopping some 15 times a day in cold weather
or warm for that matter? I also was wondering how much the average
cost annualy it is to maintain the D. Also has anyone had any
experience in push starting one(just in case)? How hard is it to push
start?
