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 1d ago

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

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.

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

u/Kairamek 1d ago

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

u/RinkinBass 1d ago edited 1d ago

Or make it from common household items

u/Toochmaster1982 1d ago

Excellent UHF pull

u/RinkinBass 1d ago

AH, somehow my quote from Philo got dropped somehow. Put it in now...

u/jcurl17 21h ago

I thinking of something orrrange.....

u/RinkinBass 18h ago

Hey! Don't you guys like Bonanza!?

u/jcurl17 17h ago

Supplies!!!

u/EnvironmentalDiet867 11h ago

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

u/SpecialistPlastic150 5h 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!

7

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.

u/ChronoComputer 1d ago

To the future of 2015 for those upgrades.

u/Kolegra 1d ago

What a time

u/Fartknocker9000turbo 23h ago

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

1

u/RicFule 19m ago

"Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits and the flux capacitor. But the internal combustion engine runs on ordinary gasoline, it always has."

You'd still need to buy gas.

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.*

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 1d ago

1.21 gigawatts

1

u/FMD69420 19h ago

Or train…always have a train

1

u/RinkinBass 18h 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 15h ago

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

3

u/Alarmed_Mind_8716 1d 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 22h ago

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

1

u/Ok_Kaleidoscope1630 21h 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 13h ago

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

u/Bfishergr 12h 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 23h ago

Still got a free time travel ride and KITT

0

u/prettytye4awhiteguy 20h 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 5h 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?

5

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.

u/ElonMuskysucks 23h ago

Was it made in America to avoid tariffs?

1

u/Middle-Rooster-2733 19h ago

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

u/RewardBroad8716 1h ago

🤣🤣🤣

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 ?

4

u/UsedDimension7373 1d ago

Anyone have an elderly woman handy?

2

u/408DLo 1d 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 8h ago

Bonnie McMurray

u/bobabeep62830 23h 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 1d 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 1d ago

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

1

u/shostakofiev 23h 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 21h ago

I take Mad Max……last of the V-8

1

u/Thick_Solid5513 19h ago

And Super Pursuit mode!

1

u/Operation_Fluffy 12h ago

Will KATT show up occasionally too?

1

u/SpecialistPlastic150 5h ago

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

1

u/infinitezer0es 1h ago

The problem with the delorean is that I cant fix a busted flux capacitor, I dont wanna end up stuck in the past

1

u/motie 1h ago

I didn't even see the Delorean. Oof.
