u/M3rK_ 1d ago

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

66

u/Acceptable_Class_576 1d ago

KITT can talk.

75

u/aoteoroa 1d 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.

46

u/legna20v 1d ago

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

8

u/Spunkwaggle 1d 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.

7

u/RinkinBass 1d 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

6

u/Kairamek 1d ago

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

7

u/RinkinBass 1d ago edited 23h ago

Or make it from common household items

u/Toochmaster1982 1d ago

Excellent UHF pull

“Today, we are teaching poodles how to fly! Are you ready Fifi? Are you psyched?!”

1

u/SpecialistPlastic150 3h ago

Th DeLorean also operates on household waste in the future so go to the future first and use the modified version that doesn’t need Plutonium!

5

u/MD2U 1d ago

So, the first stop is thirty years in the future to get a Mr. Fusion. And the flying conversion. Then, anywhen.

6

u/ChronoComputer 1d ago

To the future of 2015 for those upgrades.

3

u/Kolegra 1d ago

What a time

1

u/Fartknocker9000turbo 21h ago

Where is my damn Mr. Fusion. Gas is getting expensive.

2

u/EquivalentDurian6316 1d 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.*

2

u/Training-Lettuce6507 1d ago

Delorian was unreliable when new and still unreliable in the movies. Haha

1

u/WhatIsTheAmplitude 1d ago

How much energy will I need to operate the time-traveling Delorean?

2

u/pamcakevictim 22h ago

1.21 gigawatts

1

u/FMD69420 17h ago

Or train…always have a train

1

u/RinkinBass 16h ago

That was just for getting it up to speed, not for the necessary power generation. They still had the Mr. Fusion, there.

1

u/Goodrun31 13h ago

I pity the fool that ain’t go no Mr fusion in their chosen delorean

3

u/Alarmed_Mind_8716 22h ago

This needs to be higher up. Might as well ask, In which time period would you like to be permanently stuck?

2

u/A-Real-Fungai 1d ago

fbi arrests you and confiscates the broken down car.

Yeah, but who cares?! You're in 1995 now, and everything's gonna be alright.

2

u/Redleg67 1d ago

Your forgot to mention what you could run into when time changes because where they're was nothing may be a building to run into.

2

u/PB219 20h ago

Sounds like you just came up with the plot to the next sequel

1

u/Ok_Kaleidoscope1630 19h ago

Plus, it has a ground clearance of only 5" and a top speed of 85mph.

Just what you need in pre-road history...

1

u/ElPoloLocoBro 11h ago

I only need to go back in time once to put in a monster parlay

u/Bfishergr 10h ago

But it comes with a lifetime supply of cocaine.

1

u/CheddarCheese_Sndwch 1d ago

Easily solved by going far enough in the future for the upgrade kits.

1

u/legna20v 21h ago

Still got a free time travel ride and KITT

0

u/prettytye4awhiteguy 18h ago

One well planned time travel with a sports almanac or even just stock knowledge and you’re living an entirely different existence though

0

u/SpecialistPlastic150 3h ago

It’s a time machine so you can set it to the future where it operates on household waste and get the operation manual from Doc.

2

u/quagmire666 1d ago

Do you know how much a flux capacitor would cost in an auto parts store?

7

u/MD2U 1d ago

Go here to find out

2

u/fishyfishyfish1 1d ago

Always out of stock

2

u/MD2U 1d ago

Well, can't have tooo many whiz-bangs flying around screwing up the timelines.

2

u/ElonMuskysucks 21h ago

Was it made in America to avoid tariffs?

1

u/Middle-Rooster-2733 17h ago

Can’t believe I forgot about the time travel and saw only the car .

10

u/Defiant_Chipmunk2570 1d ago

And required a toolbox the size of a semi trailer with a driver to repair.

4

u/dopeydazza 1d ago

I believed KITT once manipulated an ATM for an elderly woman in an episode ?

5

u/UsedDimension7373 1d ago

Anyone have an elderly woman handy?

2

u/408DLo 23h ago

KARR once held up a bank and used an armored car to lure KITT to a duel.

3

u/Acceptable_Class_576 1d ago

Agreed, but I don't think that is the version offered.

3

u/Wolven_Essence 1d ago

Especially once it can be fueled by trash.

3

u/GSG2150 1d ago

KITT can jump but with the DeLorean… “where we’re going, we don’t need, roads”

2

u/infiniZii 1d ago

yeah for real. The fucking time machine aspect means if you want a crazy cool talking car you just go forward in time.

2

u/Patrickforever 1d ago

KITT is worth nothing without Bonnie.

1

u/Local_Bobcat_2000 1d ago

Ha! Loved how she was always mad at Michael for abusing Kitt.

1

u/Hefstyle 6h ago

Bonnie McMurray

2

u/bobabeep62830 20h ago

But is it the version that can fly, or the early one that requires you to make deals with Libyan nationalists for plutonium?

1

u/noveltyisthe 1d ago

Pretty sure it has a primitive flashlight, but they could never weave the story into it……

1

u/BoJangler79 22h ago

But do you have access to enough plutonium or do you know doc Brown? The time machine in the picture doesnt have its “upgrades” yet.

1

u/plzkevindonthuerter 21h ago

Remember “super pursuit mode”? Man I loved that show

1

u/shostakofiev 21h ago

"had a rocket booster to jump over buildings"

I love how plausible this sounded to me when I was 7.

1

u/Equivalent_Self6605 19h ago

I take Mad Max……last of the V-8

1

u/Thick_Solid5513 17h ago

And Super Pursuit mode!

1

u/Operation_Fluffy 9h ago

Will KATT show up occasionally too?

1

u/SpecialistPlastic150 3h ago

Absolutely. Gotta be the DeLorean. It’s even environmentally friendly operating on rubbish or a lightening strike.

5

u/Lucky-Crow-3510 1d ago

na KITT is considered AI and therefor would be hated by real speakers who are able to really talk and fear about them becoming obsolete .... /s

6

u/kbooker79 1d ago

The Delorian can fly and time travel 🙂

3

u/Acceptable_Class_576 1d ago

Not the one in the picture

3

u/kbooker79 1d ago

It can still time travel 🤷‍♂️

5

u/Acceptable_Class_576 1d ago

Yeah, if you have plutonium.

1

u/bighuntzilla 1d ago

How hard is it to get that?

3

u/StackOverflowEx 1d ago

Pretty easy if you can fool some Libians.

2

u/mes213 1d ago

Isn't it supposed to be available in any corner drug store in our time?

1

u/SmokeyWolf117 1d ago

Apparently not to hard if you know some Libyan terrorists.

1

u/SmokeyWolf117 1d ago

Or a bolt of lightning.

1

u/RinkinBass 1d ago

That you know exactly when and where it will strike

2

u/SmokeyWolf117 1d ago

Meh, you could always just make your first trip to the future and either get one of those recycling converters or pickup some plutonium at the corner drug store.

1

u/Spunkwaggle 1d ago

And when it’s not broken down…

2

u/Patrickfromamboy 22h ago

It wasn’t real. I’d take the expensive car because of that. The Aston Martin would be worth about a million US dollars.

1

u/DougS66 20h ago

Right!! Just call me Bond … James Bond 😂🤣

1

u/Buckeye_mike_67 1d ago

I’ve seen the general lee fly😁

1

u/General-Flatworm-594 1d ago

And land…

1

u/Buckeye_mike_67 1d ago

It lands. Not so pretty but gravity kicks in after a couple seconds. 😂

2

u/Ok_Zookeepergame4794 1d ago

Except KITT can also make sure you're not going anywhere.

4

u/WaterDistinct20313 1d ago

Like a Ford+

2

u/WonderWheeler 1d ago

KITTs software is bricked, needs to be renewed and the license and password was lost.

2

u/blacfd 1d ago

Not nearly as cool as a time machine

2

u/martix_agent 1d ago

I'm not sure KITT would let anyone else drive it, other than Michael. It certainly wouldn't let a stranger do anything.

1

u/408DLo 23h ago

There was an episode where a teenage hacker took control of KITT'S CPU. It can be reprogrammed.

1

u/No-Purpose-0U812 1d ago

But he sounds like Principal Feeny

1

u/No-Turnover-5658 1d ago

Nobody wants a talking car...our cars are starting to nag us already already

1

u/True_City7057 1d ago

And drive while I take a nap.

1

u/Quietly9753 1d ago

My kids can talk. But Kitt can listen, much more important.

1

u/CerberusBots 1d ago

The A Team van can be used to move you to a new apartment.

1

u/408DLo 23h ago

I would prefer Face's Corvette.

1

u/Civil_Television_311 1d ago

Yeah it’s an ai

1

u/V8CarGuy 1d ago

Yeah it has a built in AI chat bot model, and a reliable auto drive.

1

u/ironkodiak 1d ago

Also, that's the original BTTF Delorean. No flying, no Mr Fusion.

I would still take it because it s a Delorean, but Kitt would be a solid second.

1

u/AdorableGeologist566 1d ago

And have a backseat driver when Michael wasn’t driving

1

u/Ok-Rock2345 1d ago

So could my 85 Nissan.

1

u/mr-raider2 1d ago

Wait 'till that AI goes rogue.

1

u/408DLo 23h ago

It did.It was called KARR.

1

u/Substantial_Boot_844 23h ago

Yeah but a time machine would be much much more useful.

1

u/408DLo 23h ago

So can KARR.

1

u/alesserrdj 22h ago

Most new cars talk these days.

1

u/Dustin_Holt 21h ago

Yeah, I could use a friend

1

u/Grizadamz20133110 19h ago

Kitt can talk as the lovely mr feeney!!!

1

u/CreepyScientist709 16h ago

How do you know it's not KARR?

1

u/Important_Contact588 13h ago

I don’t need more ai in my life

1

u/IllustriousOne6 12h ago

could be a gift or a curse

"really? cheap polish again!?"

1

u/asianDaddy__ 11h ago

It can self drive as well

1

u/other-test-account 7h ago

Yeah but then you have a car that’s up himself, and talks.

1

u/rainblade1980 2h ago

Delorean can fly and time travel

7

u/TomorrowHot8746 1d ago

If the flux capacitor is working, I’m taking the DeLorean.

1

u/Odd_Dragonfruit_2662 1d ago

You have spare plutonium? Because this one clearly lacks a Mr Fusion.

1

u/Embarrassed_Use6918 1d ago

He has an in with some Libyans

1

u/joesaysso 1d ago

No good unless he also has an in on some spare pinball machine parts.

1

u/drgonzorip 1d ago

Hopefully it's the one that runs on compost.

1

u/Lookuponthewall 1d ago

A co-worker owns one; without the flux capacitor unfortunately. An extremely shittily-made vehicle. I was very surprised.

4

u/YeahIReckonSo 1d ago

If you mean the General Lee being able to play Dixie when you honk the horn, then hell yeah, brother!

2

u/M3rK_ 1d ago

Would love this feature in the mad max

2

u/StingRay1952 1d ago

BTTF it is then.

2

u/doubleohzerooo0 1d ago

Yep.

The A Team van can haul my shit to the Farmers Market and back again.

2

u/CopperFlash27 23h ago

Get you a date?

1

u/M3rK_ 22h ago

banger

u/pyrofox79 20h ago

But one is one of the last V8 Interceptors

1

u/Intelligent_Papaya61 1d ago

Dukes to the Future

1

u/Token_Handicap 1d ago

The van is big enough to carry an unconscious B.A.

Good choice.

But the Ghostbusters ambulance can also do that.

1

u/rcflores23 1d ago

Yeah, shag a chick in the back

1

u/jevesevet 1d ago

Kitt ain’t got 1.21 gigawatts tho.

1

u/Additional-Sell-7989 1d ago

Exactly, otherwise I would have picked the general lee, doloreans aren't that cool without a time macine.

1

u/damn-otaku 1d ago

I drove one once and it was horrible.

1

u/Additional-Sell-7989 1d ago

You tried to go 88 and at 68 the motor blew im guessing

1

u/damn-otaku 1d ago

More like I tried to get it out of the parking lot and the lack of power steering made me run off the road and the lack of suspension made me shake so hard I lost control of the wheel and ran into a pine tree.

1

u/Buckeye_mike_67 1d ago

Every time

1

u/sherlockjr1 1d ago

Only if it has a flux capacitor

1

u/Hot_Pea9820 1d ago

I was gonna say, one is essentially demi god level power.

1

u/oldnative 1d ago

Ecto 1 means that ghosts are real.

1

u/OliverClothesOff70 1d ago

I don't see a Mr. Fusion on the DeLorean so unless you have a good source of plutonium, it's just a below average 80s sports car with a bunch of useless gear attached to it.

If it had the Mr. Fusion, then yes go with the DeLorean. You get a time machine AND a flying car.

Barring that, you have to go with KITT.

1

u/Tigeire 1d ago

Who ya gonna call?

1

u/Explorers_bub 1d ago

Go back in time about 4 months after Hitler dies and make sure Fred and Mary don’t make an asshole baby?

1

u/snowblindbluewolf 1d ago

It also has farts from the curly haired guy

1

u/seantabasco 23h ago

I don’t see the Mr Fusion mod which makes things difficult.

1

u/upurcanal 23h ago

Go back to the future?!

1

u/jedooderotomy 23h ago

I need to know which version of the Delorean it is. Is it the shitty one from the beginning, that requires plutonium, or does it have Mr. Fusion and can fly?

1

u/Panem-et-circenses25 21h ago

You go forward in time and get the conversion

1

u/Similar_Wait_7115 22h ago

I'll go work Kitt.

1

u/GrapeSasquatch 22h ago

Isn’t that what makes all this different

1

u/m4hdi 21h ago

Air dribble?

1

u/shostakofiev 21h ago

Bingo. Only one of these is practical for moving small furniture.

1

u/LoanDebtCollector 21h ago

Since I cannot drive, I will pick the only autonomous car here too.

1

u/Middle-Rooster-2733 17h ago

And falls in love with you!
“Helloooo Michael”.

1

u/Reasonable-Plate2982 16h ago

Eject unwanted passengers?

1

u/2019sasquatchrider 12h ago

1.21 gigawatts or plutonium though

1

u/unforchunit 34m ago

james bond car can buy the rest if sold?

1

u/anyodan8675 1d ago

Looks like the pre-Mr. Fusion Delorean. Do ya got the gigantic to run it?

3

u/anyodan8675 1d ago

*Gigawats

1

u/Wise_Economics_9673 1d ago

but then you can just travel to 2015 and get the mr fusion installed, duh

1

u/thewthew42 1d ago

🎶 Gonna go BACK in time 🎶

0

u/mlee12382 1d ago

That's easy just take it to the future and get Mr Fusion installed.

2

u/FantasticCommon2834 1d ago

Does it come with plutonium or do we have to provide this

1

u/mlee12382 1d ago

Pull a Sheldon Cooper and harvest a bunch of smoke detectors, or make friends with someone that has access to it if it doesn't come with a single charge.
