[DML] Re: Damaged DeLoreans

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

(Sorry about your roof too).

In the past 30 days, wind and ice have zapped 3 Southern DeLoreans:
- Myself (Q Panel)
- Derek (Hood)
- Joe (Fender & Windshield)
Ordinarily, life south of the Line is good...

Unfortunately not all owners have garages. Even parking in the clear
is no guarantee of protection (Derek and I both were hit by objects
originating far from the vehicles). This is yet another hazard (along
with vandalism, collisions, etc) of treating DeLoreans as they were
meant to be -- roadable machines in service on public thoroughfares,
not static museum displays.

The question is: would any of us really want it any other way? Fixing
damage is no fun -- trust me, I'm in the middle of it myself -- but
I'm exceedingly glad to have driven my car so many miles before The
Limb, and I look forward to doing so many more after repairs are
completed. Much preferrable over locking the car away like a Ming
Dynasty vase.

I just wish in hindsight I had parked another foot over...
