You're obsessed if you keep an SUV around so you can tow your Delorean!

...you start a Delorean related blog.

...first thing you do walking into any Target, Walmart, or any other type of store is do a b-line to the Hot Wheels section to see if there are any Deloreans
...and while searching through the racks of Hot Wheels, you give the other guy in the isle a dirty look because you THINK he is there to look for Delorean's too (even though he's not)

I disagree. You buy a DeLorean to tow your DeLorean. Who needs an SUV or a truck?Originally Posted by Canon20DFan

eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

As some of you may recall my car has been used as a tow truck in the past without any modification. Simply a tow rope attached to the tow hook on the passenger side rear an then secured to the vehicle to be towed (1991 Ford Escort Wagon) and off it went...
Hauling the FORD to FORD so the ignition system could be looked at.
Only problem was it was uphill and there was a speed bump when entering the Ford Dealerships shop... The Delorean couldn't pull the weight over the bump... So it was unhooked and the shops "Golf cart" came out and finished the job...

Good. I have a blog too on delorean.blog.hu.
BTW there was a thread on the previous dmctalk with the name: You are a Delorean owner if...
I collected a few things from there, which more or less fits here:
You are a Delorean owner if...
- you go to sell your car and can actually look the buyer right
in the eye and tell him you have no idea how many miles are on your car.
- you not only have an escape plan for how to get out of your
car if you get locked in, but you have several ways to get in
your car/trunk if you get locked out.
- if you have to tell the story of JZD evertime you go the gas pump
- you carry tools & a shop manual in your car at all times "just in case"
- you spend more time working on the car than driving it.
- constantly watch eBay for Deloreans for sale
- watch BTTF any of the times it's on cable/dish just to see the Delorean
- you refer to owners by VIN.
- the term "torsion bar broke" sends a chill down your spine.
- you'd prefer a car with higher mileage.
- if, when someone asks you about the flux capacitor, you pretend you
do not speak or understand English.
- You know or even care what month your car was built in.
- You know up to what VIN numbers certain parts / colors were used.
- You know what Cave marking on a Delorean are
- you hate buying gas, but not because of the price
- When you try to honk the horn in your other car you end
up washing the windshield instead.
-you bump your ass on the parking brake lever when getting in
or out of the car.
- you've never been to a car paint shop.
- You know that the carshow people have no idea what category to put you in.
- You've ever taken the long way home just to spend an
extra 10 minutes driving the car.
- You open the door rather than attempt to use the window at
drive-through restaurants or banks
- You remind the officer who pulled you over to watch their head.
- if someone says there car is faster and your like "big deal, I
can get more money for my "left" front fender than your whole car"!!
- you know the service manual better than the bible
- you drive the car over 5mph BEFORE closing the door
- you know how something without eyes can have eyebrows!
- your significant other(s) have closed any part of their body in a door
- You know you are Delorean owner when Run DMC goes from being an 80's band to a daily prayer.
