RE: [DML] was Walt quitting, now helicopter drop

["Jack Stiefel" <jackstiefel@xxxx>]

I hope you are joking about dropping your car from a helicopter, but if
you are indeed hell bent on doing so, I guess all it will do is raise
the value of mine just a bit. No offence, but the word "fool" seems to
keep coming into my mind.

I am not even going to try to argue with you the quality of a DeLorean,
your opinion seems to be set in stone. My personal opinion is that it
takes a certain person to appreciate this automobile. I am sure there
are people who say a Ford Model "T" is a piece of junk, but wouldn't we
all like to have a mint one in our garage simply from a collector
standpoint. IMHO the owners who believe that their cars are junk more
times than not got hosed on their purchase and bought a Junker to begin
with, or wanted a cheap car and thought it would work flawlessly. Kind
of like going to a 2nd hand store to buy a toaster and then get pissed
when it breaks down on them.

I suppose now either I will get banned form the list, or flamed out of
existence, but I just couldn't let this go unanswered.

Subject: [DML] Walt quitting

This list is more entertainment than anything else. For me at least, 
it certainly hasn't been a valuable source about owning and 
maintaining this heap of junk. I'm considering donating my car for a 
tax write off by having it dropped from 2000 feet by helicopter at a 
local airshow in October.

Don't even think about asking me to sell it. Nothing will give me 
greater satisfaction than to see this POS hit the ground at terminal 
velocity. (I would have dynamited it out in the desert but would have 
lost even more cash.) No matter what, standby. Film at eleven.

The other issue is ego. There are a lot of folks here who need to get 
a life. Its just a car, and not much of one at that.
