Im well over the 20k mark when you add up all the restoration work with the orginal price of the vehicle. This car has given no trouble. Ive driven it cross country without any problems what-so-ever. Here are a few photos from my trip the DeLorean Car show in Memphis:

*UPDATE*
Went to DeLorean Car Show in Pigeon Forge and had a fantastic time. I got to drive the "The Dragon" at Deals gap. Pumped up the tires and set out early one morning to tackle over 300 curves through the mountains. What a rush. The DeLorean handled the curves beautifully. I don't know if I've ever had that much fun in my life. Below I've included a few photos from Pigeon Forge '04. Look forward to seeing everyone again in Chicago at the '06 DeLorean Car Show.

I live near the Chesapeake Bay in Southern Maryland and I was able to take some pictures of the DeLorean by the Bay. Here's a few shots I took.

**Update** 3/19/05. Today is a very sad day for all DeLorean enthusiasts. John DeLorean has passed away. Click HERE for my tribute to the man responsible for creating a car that has changed so many lives.

**Update** 4/06/06. Upgraded my suspension today. The car now sits much lower and handles much better. I replaced the springs with DMC Houston's Performance Eibach springs. I also put on polyurethane front stabilizar bar bushings along with a set of adjustable performance shocks from the DMC Netherlands. I really love how the the car drives and looks now.
