Did You Know: the Fall Foliage Tour is just 2 weeks away from this Saturday? The route was driven this past weekend & the fall reds, oranges, & yellows were...
As some of you may already know WDBJ7 did a news story about the production of Jack Plates for our cars. The clip is still on the station web site but will...
Got a general cancelation letter today from State Farm. They canceled my DMC insurance effective 10/1/10 and sent me a refund on my premium. I called my agent...
Yesterday I had new tires put on my car (replacing the factory originals). I took the car on short in town drive latter in the day and heard something come...
Most shops will over torque the lugnuts unless you tell them to torque at 60 pounds. When told to torque at 60 most will doubt and I always take a photocopy...
... From: daviddelorean <daviddelorean@...> Subject: [DML] My Insurance canceled me - cuz it was a Delorean! To: dmcnews@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday,...
Yes, people are that stupid. Not only that, but since when does auto insurance cover light switches, screws, or any other parts that just "break"? That's...
Replace them all. Lug studs break because they have been overtorqued. There is no reason to believe that your shop only overtorqued the one stud that broke -...
Interesting. My DeLorean is insured with State Farm and I didn't get a cancellation notice... -- Mike ________________________________ From: daviddelorean...
They realy don't want the business anyway, the reason isn't important. Get some quotes from companies that specialize in classic car insurance like: Hagerty ...
Probably over-torqued. Since one broke (and this is VERY UNCOMMON) you have to be serious about ALL of the other lug bolts. I would NOT drive until all of them...
David, DeLoreans have been on the don't insure list with State Farm for years. The reasons they gave me was not that the parts weren't available but due to the...
Michael, The correct way is to remove the hub and press out the old bolt and press in a new one. Since it's broke you may be able to tap out the old one then ...
Those suckers did something like that to mee too. They called me up and offered me a low rate for switching 16510 from Safeco to Statefarm. I bit the bate,...
Tire dilemma My Delorean has an original set of tires-Goodyear NCTs. Even though they still look brand new, It's time to change them. My front tires:...
Yes, SF is a tad slow... They cancelled mine back in 1982.. Why? Because it was a Delorean.. I didn't go back to SF until 2008.. Their little stunt cost them...
Hi Mike, Â Fortunately, I haven't had this problem. Â The lug has to be pressed in from behind so there is some work to be done, exactly how much I don't...
Some insurance companies still think a Delorean is a "kit car". Good Luck! Â If you do not drive the car as a daily driver, I would look into collector car...
Torque spec on DMC Wheels is about 65. This is very low compared to most cars so you need to remind them of that. Remove the brake caliper, then the rotor....
"Are people this stupid?" Yes. I got rid of State Farm over a year ago because their service was terrible and they're still sending me junk mail. They never...

Wait for the ones on back order. After all, you've waited almost 30 years -- what's a few more days? ;-) FWIW, my car's on Coopers. Folks say they're noisy,...
If you are going to go with the stock rims that came on the Delorean, you have to stay with the 15 inch diameter rear tire. I have been driving Coopers on all...
