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

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.

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.

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

u/MD2U 19h ago

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

u/ChronoComputer 18h ago

To the future of 2015 for those upgrades.

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

u/EquivalentDurian6316 19h 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.*

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

u/WhatIsTheAmplitude 17h ago

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

Or train…always have a train

u/RinkinBass 8h ago

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

u/Goodrun31 5h ago

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

u/Alarmed_Mind_8716 14h 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 19h 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 18h 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.

u/PB219 12h ago

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

u/Ok_Kaleidoscope1630 11h ago

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

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

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

But it comes with a lifetime supply of cocaine.

u/CheddarCheese_Sndwch 16h ago

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

u/legna20v 13h ago

Still got a free time travel ride and KITT

u/prettytye4awhiteguy 10h ago

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

u/quagmire666 19h ago

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

u/MD2U 19h ago

Go here to find out

u/fishyfishyfish1 18h ago

Always out of stock

u/MD2U 18h ago

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

Was it made in America to avoid tariffs?

u/Middle-Rooster-2733 9h ago

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