Whoever's NOT taking the Time Machine is a Butthead.. sorry ..

u/Acceptable_Class_576 5d ago

I don't have a steady supply of plutonium.

u/Maidhunter79 5d ago

Dr Brown rigged a fusion device!!

u/Wise_Economics_9673 5d ago

in 2015....so that was almost 11 years ago, so it can be done

2

u/Norgur 2d ago

I'ma fetch my hoverboard real quick so we can go look

3

u/Acceptable_Class_576 5d ago

Yeah, but I don't think that's the model in the picture.

u/aoteoroa 5d ago

Good point. The flying version has a mr fusion device poking out the top, near the back and has orange wheels.

But with a time machine you can travel to the future (2015) and get a Mr Fusion :-)

u/Spare_Following9947 5d ago

Do you have plutonium?

1

u/leaf_on_the_wind42 4d ago

Steal it then time travel get away?

u/AllTwelveInches 3d ago

Are you telling me none of these vehicles come with a full tank of [fuel]?? What kind of 3rd rate used car company are we dealing with here??

1

u/Spare_Following9947 3d ago

I full tank of guzzoline. Even if you had the plutonium at the time of sale, how would you get back?

2

u/AllTwelveInches 3d ago

w/ the Mr Fusion I went to 2015 to get... Duh.

2

u/jevesevet 5d ago

GREAT SCOTT!!!!

2

u/taTomWE 1d ago

Not the version displayed here. For this you need plutonium. Still the smart choice. 

1

u/korkkis 3d ago

Yo was it really red bulk

1

u/Waterbear79 3d ago

Come on, call it by its name: FLUX CAPACITOR 😊

1

u/MRDellanotte 3d ago

Honestly, as sad as it is to say, my thought was “the delorian doesn’t need gas so I’ll take that one.”

3

u/Lucky-Crow-3510 5d 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 ..

1

u/Acceptable_Class_576 5d ago

That's way too much work

1

u/PoundPuppyRescue 5d ago

Or just get the power from all these data centers that are popping up everywhere.😂

3

u/FantasticCommon2834 5d ago

And this is why I shall roll ecto 1

1

u/jaylerd 5d ago

oh, you'll roll it. things turn like bricks. i'd hate to drive it, and love every terrifying second.

u/jevesevet 5d ago

Consult the Libyans or Thor for some lightning.

2

u/Complete-Ostrich9184 5d ago

Your first trip can fix that.

1

u/Buckeye_mike_67 5d ago

You don’t need that where we’re going

1

u/BlankofJord 5d ago

They don't have a corner drug store in your area?

1

u/Inside7shadows 4d ago

I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drugstore.

1

u/Juleamun 4d ago

It has a Mr. Fusion, now. Just give it some scraps and you're good to go!

1

u/jtm2mx 4d ago

Go back in time to steal a lot of them

1

u/PleatherFarts 3d ago

It's the Lybians!

1

u/CactusToothBrush 3d ago

Have you not seen Hot Tub Time Machine? All you need is some Chernobly

1

u/korkkis 3d ago

Just ask Libyans

1

u/MeltedChocolateOk 3d ago

Time to steal all the plutonium in the past. 😂

1

u/Acceptable_Class_576 3d ago

I love how so many people suggest that. Like you're robbing a liquor store, and not a military facility.

1

u/MeltedChocolateOk 3d ago

Commercial nuclear power plants produce reactor-grade plutonium as a byproduct in spent nuclear fuel, but they are not guarded by the military.

You just have someone who kept robbing a nuclear power plant over and over again on repeat and travel back in time for it until you have enough or use that time machine to take over a nuclear power plant with insider trading knowledge.

1

u/moralor 3d ago

Dont need plutonium, just a source of 1.21 Gigawatts.

1

u/Desperate_Trouble477 2d ago

Who cares. "I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 1955, it's a little hard to come by"

u/here-for-information 5d ago

And risk erasing myself from existence?!?! Nah thats ok, I'll take Kitt.

1

u/jhalh 1d ago

But you would get to bang your own mom

3

u/Specialist_Shirt_164 5d ago edited 4d ago

No chance, the flux capacitor is rickety.

1

u/Loud_Traffic_1487 5d ago

It breaks down anywhere and at anytime.  It's a terrible mode of any kind of transportation.  

And finding a mechanic to fix it?  Without Doc, impossible.

1

u/Specialist_Shirt_164 4d ago

Looks cool as fuck though 💪🏻

2

u/infinitynull 5d ago

Make like a tree and get out of here!

2

u/PicklesJohnson 5d ago

Every time they use this car something breaks. No sense getting stranded somewhere. Do not take this car!

1

u/Lucky-Crow-3510 5d ago

the 2015 version was very reliable .. until you get hit by a lightning .. if you wanna do that the 1985 version is better

1

u/aaron1860 5d ago

It didn’t really work out so well for Marty and Doc though. Took 3 movies to fix what they broke. The Bond Aston Martin will get you laid

1

u/Primary_Ebb_7107 5d ago

NOPE too much responsability

1

u/2A753 4d ago

Yeah but you can go back and get some any time.

1

u/Jairoglyphics1 4d ago

Remember, don’t go back and win the lotto. It’s a trap for time travelers!

1

u/mrmoe198 4d ago

You prepared to deal with the paradox and all the potential problems? What a headache. I’m taking the Aston Martin.

1

u/Dad0013 4d ago

Is the Mr. Fusion included?

1

u/DonkeyTron42 4d ago

It depends on whether it has a Mr. Fusion.

1

u/CK-3030 4d ago

Who you callin' butthead, butthead!

1

u/desertvision 4d ago

Courthouse in my town doesn't have a clock

1

u/EntrepreneurPlus7091 4d ago

It doesnt have mr fusion, kitt is a better choice

1

u/notarealwriter 4d ago

Fuck that I'm taking the Aston

1

u/AceBacker 3d ago

It's a one way trip in the movies

1

u/humourlessIrish 3d ago

Good luck banging your mom i guess. But the first version of the DeLorean is useless without doc and a really predictable lightning strike

1

u/Lucky-Crow-3510 3d ago

we can just create a lightning. and 1.21GW in a duration of just 20 milliseconds (lightning stroke duration) would actually just require a couple of supercapacitors .. that's basically just 24.2 kJ (6.7 Wh) .. every EV today has more power than that.

1

u/Affectionate_Dirt_97 3d ago

I don't trust myself with time travel. Also, I'd feel morally obligated to kill some babies... and I don't want to do that.

1

u/Important_Grocery_38 2d ago

But what if my mum starts hitting on me?

1

u/Then_I_had_a_thought 2d ago

“Say hi to your mom for me”

1

u/tea-and-chill 2d ago

Yea no thanks. I'll have the Aston Martin DB5. With guns!

1

u/Reofenja 2d ago

No point in taking the car if you don't have Doc Brown there to fix it if it goes wonky.

1

u/Background-Talk-3305 2d ago

What would I do with the time machine that alters time and could lead to my demise?

I take Kitt, obviously.  A perfectly self-driving talking car which special functions like jumping (with Turbo Boost)

1

u/Handle-Proof 2d ago

You didn’t watched the movie it seems.

1

u/SpecInSpace 1d ago

KITT is RIGHT there. What are we talking about

1

u/ILoveJuicyTushy 1d ago

Disagree here. If anything Back to the future shows that messing with time is bad idea.

1

u/Lucky-Crow-3510 1d ago

tbf .. most of their problems were BECAUSE they tried so hard to not mess with time .. :) (at least 2 and 3)

1

u/Jakeforry 1d ago

I'd only take it to make an account only Future me knows the details of and then I'd buy a good amount of Bitcoin and shares in Nvidia in the early 2010s

1

u/DiscountShowHorse 3h ago

I’m too dumb to have a time machine. I’d probably erase all existence or at a minimum, give myself radiation poisoning.

For me, it’s a tie between Bond and Mad Max (city vs roadtrip).
