[DML] Re: Ship or Drive newly Purchased Delorean

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

Well, if anything is gonna happen, it's gonna happen out there on the
road, right? Idle the car and force the fans to come on, check for
leaks, and make sure that the motor cools down to the point where the
fans turn off. Next, check your fuses, and ensure that they're all the
correct amperage. That's a great starter that will take care of your
base concerns there.

Otherwise, I say kick the tires, and light the fires! And head out
onto the open highway. That's what I did when I picked up my car.

If I were you, the only thing I would fear is the lack of a good radio
and speakers!
