How to maintain your Delorean for less than $500 a year and put 10,000 miles on it

Furthermore, if something does break, and you decide to disclose it even if it destroys your argument, will you fix it yourself and claim no labor charge, or will you take it to a shop?

If I use another mechanic for an engine swap I will be sure to include the labor.

Honestly, I love 16510 and according to Facebook I am married to it. I consider driving and working on it to be a pleasure. Would you let another man please your wife?

Oh and as far as disclosing issues, I already have some unexpected stuff to disclose that really sucks. Last night I discovered I have a radiator leak. If have to replace it i could possibly go over $500 for the year. Time will tell.

Quite likely, I could drive my DeLorean for under $100 a year not including gas. (at this point) - Results not typical

And log 10,000 miles?
