First road trip since repair

After the panel was reinstalled, I then did everything that I needed to get the car titled and registered in my name. The same day that I reinstalled the panel, I took the DeLorean to a local lube place and had the safety and emissions inspections completed. The employees that were there were so excited to have the opportunity to inspect it. They got it done quickly and it passed with flying colors. The employees were taking pictures of it and were loving every minute of it.

The following week, I went to the DMV and paid the tax and registration fees, which was just over $1,000 and they gave me my plates right then and there. I was going to get vanity plates, but I was told that since the title was from another state, I had to wait until I got the Utah title in the mail before I could submit an application for new plates. Now that I have the regular plates on the car, I'm not as motivated to get vanity plates. I have since received the new title in the mail and the car is 100% legal to drive and legally mine.

Since registering it, we have driven it every weekend. It's unfortunate that it's already to late in the year though because the cold weather is already coming and the DeLorean won't be driven during the winter. My wife and I celebrated our third anniversary in the middle of October and we decided to get away for the weekend. We decided to spend the weekend up in Park City, UT and we also decided to take the DeLorean. It was a beautiful time of year up there with the leaves changing colors. It was the same city we went to when we first got married, so we'll probably return many times in the future. Here's a picture of my wife and the beautiful leaves on the trees:
 

I still haven't posted any pictures of the repaired panel on the DeLorean since I installed it, but I snapped a couple of photos of the car outside our hotel. I can't see any evidence of the repair in the photos:


 

It was a fun weekend and the DeLorean performed beautifully the entire time. We drove around 200 miles during the trip too. It's still fun to see people's reactions when they realize what kind of car they are seeing. For the most part, we don't get too many reactions. I'm very pleased with how everything is going with the car. My wife just bought new floor mats for me for Christmas, so that will help the interior be more visually appealing.
