Decided To Keep Delorean

After carful consideration I realized I do not wish to sell the car at this time because i just love it too much. I’m still willing to accept offers that I may or may not consider.

I may not need a new clutch after all. After some research it seems like it might just be my plastic clutch line that is causing the problems and i need to upgrade to a braided clutch line. A much cheaper solution.

 After some speculation, I believe the Clutch’s Master Cylinder needs to be replaced. Which i heard is not that expensive.
 This is really pissing me off. What else […]
