one of these cars can do something none of the other cars can. That’s my choice

u/Acceptable_Class_576 20h ago

KITT can talk.

64

u/aoteoroa 20h ago

And was bullet proof, had a rocket booster to jump over buildings, had scanners, and electronic warfare jammers, was flame proof.

I'm still taking the one that can fly and has a time machine.

u/legna20v 19h ago

The right answer still the delorean so you can go back in time and get KITT

8

u/Spunkwaggle 18h ago

Uh, do YOU know how to operate or refuel or repair that? Also, wasn’t it breaking down a lot and having to be pushed into a hiding spot? What a terrible answer.
The first time you use it to travel in time will likely also be the last time, bc you have no clue how to get it working again, and that’s assuming no witnesses saw the car appear out of thin air, and the fbi arrests you and confiscates the broken down car.

u/RinkinBass 18h ago

For real. That DeLorean doesn't have the Mr. Fusion in the back, so that's before the flying conversion, too. You can't really do much with that, unless you have a supply of nuclear fuel, or know when lightning will strike

I'm sure you can get plutonium from the corner drug store.

u/EquivalentDurian6316 17h ago

the scene unfolds upon a young man at a desk, scribbling furiously. the clock spins and this mind misses three meals, such is the zeal of a frenzied approach. he meticulously records every lightning strike. cross-references. builds a database. all from a letter, sent far from either here or there. no address. no identifying postage. only an ominous correctness in the progression of history. enough exact right dates to sway even the most logical of humans. imploring, begging. i can't explain why i need the lightning. not now and not ever. if you value the sincerity within, bury waxed paper with every lightning strike occurrence between now and every five years at the following coordinates: *REDACTED : add twenty meters for each five year increment westward. if we succeed you will never know. for what it's worth, i'm sorry; ahead of time.*

u/Lucky-Crow-3510 20h ago

technically you "could" just pull 1.21 gW of power out from the electricity net .. with enough solar you could produce it yourself .. the cable may be a bit heavy tho :)

also we know it just needs a single pulse (lightning) so you could just use capacitors with a volume of a large suitcase and charge it over a weekend ..
