What About Your Delorean Do You Dislike The Most?

What I dislike the most is when you order and pay for a part that says is in stock and it never shows up. Then when you call you sit on hold listening to the Delorean band or whatever they call it. Then having to leave a message and not getting called back.
I remember the days you would call Delorean Motor Center and Don or Nancy would answer the phone. You would have your question answered and everything would be fine. Now you call or leave a e-mail and you hope someone responds within a week.
That's what I dislike about my car.

A-freak'n-men ta' that one! I used to enjoy going up to DeLorean Motor Center in Garden Grove. In the last many months, dealing with DMC has become something that I dread as I know it will not go well. I have not had a positive experience there in a very, very long time. Hell, I'm dealing with on going issues there still that have been spanning the last three months.

You guys both seriously need to try giving DMC Midwest a call sometime. You will not be disappointed.

That I can't go anywhere without pretty girls draping themselves over the hood with wet sponges.

Dermot, you seem to suffer from the same delusions that I do.

Dermot, you seem to suffer from the same delusions that I do.

You both have issues distinguishing the differences between males and females?

The typical experience is having dudes salivate over the car - not chicks...

On my knees cleaning those wheels with a toothbrush....

See post #33.

And consider pulling the wheels when you want to really clean them. Set them down, waist-high, on a table with a garden sprayer with water in it. Then use some spray wheel cleaner and decent tools/towels, making it a rewarding 1 hour job. It also allows you to clean the inside of the wheel as well as have a good look at your brakes and suspension all around while you're at it.

At the same time, I do agree that the wheel design itself is among the tougher ones to deal with, although not as bad as the mid-80's BMW-style web-type wheels. Ouch!! LINK: BMW wheel

For me, my list:
- The way the T panel sags in the middle and, to a greater extent, the fact that I'm chicken to try and fix it
- The shitty way the rear fascia fits
- The 32 degree A/C that somehow can't keep me comfortable in the summer
- Speed bumps

I feel you, man. I think the same thing. I just had #3922 standing in the garage for 3 weeks and turned it on to hear it nearly stall out of idle. These are those moments where you hope that it will at least bring you home, shoudl this happen on the road. But it was working fine again after a drive around the block. I hope that my D will be mechanically sound and reliable at some stage....maybe wishful thinking.

Hey I have the same thing.
I have made trips to delorrean service center in Belgium, DMC ED, and it all runs great. but later there is trouble.
I learned the following; start the car, and stay on position for 3 minites keeping it idle. Gently let the engine get warmer, after a few minutes the problem is GONE!
Still do not know why this happens, if you do, please let me know I want to know why this happens.
