Re: Fw: buying a "D"

When you do a bit of digging for more information on the car such as 
this, you may just be a bit surprised. There are quite a few people 
to my understanding that use their cars as daily drivers. Myself 
included. To take this a step farther, the DeLorean was my only car 
for over 2 years. I only purchased a beater truck because I needed to 
haul some items around that my DeLorean simply couldn't as a car. The 
truck sits in my driveway, and I hardly drive it!

As far as reliability, I don't consider the DeLorean any less 
reliable than any other car on the road. Perhaps moreso because of 
the extra care and maintenance that goes into my car. But this is 
true of any vehicle. If you want ultimate peice of mind, then yes, a 
refurbished DeLorean is the way to go. I've had problems in the past 
with my own car. But none of them were nessisary. Proper maintenance 
would have prevented all of them (aside from my own mistake of taking 
someone else's word that the parts had already be repaired). So as a 
car, the DeLorean is a solid one. I trust my 21 year old DeLorean WAY 
more than I would any brand-new, off the lot Ford Focus! So in the 
end, it just depends upon wheather you want to restore a car 
yourself, or if you would prefer to have a refurbished one that has 
already been gone thru. Confident piece of mind, or Proud 
restoration? 

Now, the question you asked before was if the DeLorean suited your 
needs. Well, only you can really answer that one. What do you 
consider your "needs" are? If you "need" to own a fun car, that's the 
first requirement that you've already met! :-)
