Robert,

That was a great synopsis about DMC.

Can you tell us where you got your information about the design of the front
crumple tube originally being too strong?

Also, I'm not aware that the trailing arm bolts were ever recalled. I'm
curious to know if you have any information on this. I understand that the
problem was that the bolts were good, but they were not torqued properly at
the factory. If you know of any documentation that discusses the quality of
the bolt itself, I'm curious to hear about it. So far I have removed
trailing arm bolts from two DeLoreans, and both of them had bent trailing
arm bolts on the passenger side. Coincidence?

And I got a good laugh about what you said:

So true, so true!
