Tesla Goes Back To The Future
Tampa Sports Car Examiner
Who knew that the Tesla was capable of creating the needed 1.2 gigawatts of electricity needed for time travel? If any vehicles out there today are capable of zipping back to the future, I’d say the Tesla takes the historic pie. Do you think a Tesla can reach 88 mph within such a short distance? Read more about the Tesla Dr. Emmett Brown would be jealous of at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

Back To The Future 2 Fast 2 Furious Mashup

Yep, it’s really goofy, and I don’t think it’s going to do much for the cause of casting a DeLorean in the next Fast And Furious installment. But fun to watch nonetheless, and bonus points for the fake DeLorean engine sounds. Thanks to Austin for the tip.

Fireball Dissects DeLorean!
By Fireball Tim

Yeah, I dig this car. Always have since Doc Brown ran her up to 88. Why? I mean, it doesn’t really drive all that well, kinda dorky lookin’, and only came in one color.
Well, because it was just damn cool. That’s all. And it deserved to be immortalized in film. (I did a tuned version below, but the original sketches are by Andy Probert) Lots of versions were done for the Back to the Future films, and all of them were cool. But a flying Delorean? THAT was sick. Every now and then I like to dissect a movie car because movie cars are like actors, only they don’t get insulted when you give them constructive criticism. They don’t pout when they get their lines wrong and they don’t throw tantrums… for absolutely no reason.
A little while ago I went to DMC and got a full on tour of the shindigs. yeah, DMC is back. You can get a brand new 1984 Delorean for only $50K. (Yeah, let me just whip that outta my ^$#”, yo.) But at any rate, Back to the Future or not, the car is rock n’ roll. Check out the episode below and tell me that you don’t want one. More photos after the jump.

Biff's Ride on eBay
By David Clarke

It must be liquidation time for the movie studios, because there’s been a lot of obscure movie cars showing up for sale lately, from the Animal House Death Mobile to the recently blogged Lord Humongous-mobile. This movie ride is much more tame but probably just as infamous. The 1946 Ford convertible that Biff Tannen drove in the first and second Back to the Future movies got quite a bit of screen time that ended in a pretty crappy way (“Manure… I hate manure!!”). While there’s no word on whether this was the car used for the infamous shot, it comes with documented proof that Universal Studios did once own it. The only real sad thing about this car is that, like a lot of movie cars, it’s been cut up to play the part. The convertible was once a coupe and so there is no folding top, just a boot to cover the hacked sheet metal. Hack-job aside, I actually don’t think the asking price of 20k is all that unreasonable considering the freshly-rebuilt flathead V8 and the acting chops that go with it.
