Re: Tow Dolly v. Car Carrier

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

In regard to calling my car a "trailer queen" I have to take offense. 
While it is true I have trailered it, it was done for several reasons 
including, having my family with me, not having to spend 2 days 
cleaning it so I could take 1st place and 2nd place in the concours(I 
guess they do judge the trailer queens hard) not putting more than 
2000 miles on it per year (because of insurance), I like to take it to 
local car shows and cruise nites so putting over 1000 miles on it just 
for 1 show seemed absurd, to limit the possibility of hurting it on 
the long drive back and forth, not knowing what the weather would be 
like enroute, etc. I also enjoy driving as evidenced by going on the 
Rhode Island tour. I intend to preserve the car in pristine condition 
for a long time and trailering helps me do that and participate in 
shows that are not in my local area. I dare say my car is more 
reliable than my daily driver as it is in like new condition and low 
mileage. I believe that some examples should be perserved and not by 
museums. I think the Marque is best served by presenting to the public 
a Delorean that is in excellent condition than some of the worn out 
drivers and parts cars that I have seen. I am sure that Ken Koncilick 
would agree that it is nice to have pristine cars to compare against 
and to show the public that although Deloreans are 20 years old there 
are still some nice ones out there. If you think I'm nuts then you 
haven't seen a Jaguar concours or a Corvette concours. The levels of 
restoration are beyond what the factory created. By the way it is an 
enclosed trailer.
