Delorean Time Machine Replica Up For Auction
PunkerTFC writes "I'm sure most of you remember the movie Back To The Future. Well, now you have a chance to own your very own 1982 Delorean, fully equipped for time travel. It has a "Flux Capacitor", "Time Circuits" and "exterior Flux Dispersion Banding". This thing is clearly a chick magnet, and if you can't get them on the first pass, you can always crank it up to 88 mph and go back in time to try it again! Seriously though, this car is amazing, definitely worth a look to see the details. Nothing has been missed, and my hat goes off to the builder."
This baby lacks a Mr. Fusion. I take it that the car also doesn't fly for use in 2015... :-(. Oh well, whoever buys it has much happy modding ahead of them!
Somehow I've got a feeling Steve Ballmer is going to buy that thing too.
way to fuck up a perfectly nice and rare car.
Great Scott!
There. Now I've gotten that out of my system.
I wish I had a kryptonite cross, because then you could keep Dracula and Superman away.

Please use phrases in the story outline the average slashdotter can understand. All this talk of "chicks" and making a "pass" is incomprehensible gobbledegook to the average Slashdot nerd. Though "you can always crank it" is perfectly OK.
P.S. The birds won't be impressed by a replica DeLorean, just like they were probably unimpressed with a glow in the dark TRON costume. Except that hacker goth chick Raven.

What a pity Deloreans never came into the full success they deserved.
Stainless steel body that couldn't rust. Light, efficient and well designed midmount engine. Gullwing doors. Brilliant weighting and suspension that were 10 years ahead of what was in anything but supercars...
The fact that so many great ideas start off in this country and are killed before they can get the success they deserve is what's driving america down the drain
Car is amazing... But I think I'll stick to my flying train...
Does anyone know the availability of replacement parts in this time-line? Willing to travel up to 15 years. Cash waiting.
Imagine that: stepping out of that car in your brand spanking new spandex Tron suite. The girls would be over you like bees on honey...!
Is this the old one or the new one?
To put it in different words do I have to feed it plutonium or bananas?
If it's plutonium then it has too be overpriced, really difficult to get at your local gas station.
But seriously, nice job man!
The 80's are calling. It wants its fanboy back. Good thing you have that delorian there McFly. :)

Maybe if you filled the cup holders full of chicken feed.

You sure you mean "pothole" and not "plothole"?
I own a Delorean and let me tell you this car is in no way, shape or form a chick magnet.
That's the trouble with time travel, the probable development of a predestination paradox to irritate with outdated hype.
Thanks Slashdot, now everry nerd will be watching this. There goes my chances of snipering it on the cheap....

At inopportune moments, the engine might not start. Especially at around 10:04pm on dark stormy nights.

Im going to have to watch back to the future again as I don't remember the car being that ... sucky.
Those things were heavy
Weight has nothing to do with it!

Theres no back seat! :P

you just have to go back twice. On its way back to the future your first self runs over your recently arrived second self, the girl takes pity on you, looks after you, falls for you. Isn't that how it works?
Maybe I just watch too many movies...
Seriously though, everyone knows that magnets have two poles...and this one is definitely on the repelling side. Chicks will run away so fast that not even a time machine can catch up with them.
Funny thing about the DeLorean. You can't keep them in lane, they want to drive inbetween lanes (to suck up the white line.....)
If any of you do live in Buffalo......Im sorry

The car from the movie was a 1981 delorean, i believe, and this one is a 1982. Pretty major detail for someone who claims he researched everything for 5 years.
So far, other than big screen flat panel TVs, Robert Zemeckis' vision of the future is not panning out. No flying cars. No Jaws 17. No hovering skateboards.
Then again, Buck Rogers was supposed to leave on the last of NASA's deep space probes in 1987, the moon was to hurtle out of Earth's orbit in 1999, and the exploration of Jupiter's moons began in 2001.
Of course, we still have 11 years left. But even if we get Mr. Fusion, who will control the world's supply of banana peels and Old Milwaukee cans that supply its fuel? I say to you now: No Blood for Banana Peels.

Unfortunately, if you look closely, you'll see that the girls are all dressed in white and are carrying syringes. You probably won't have much time to conteplate it.
