Bo's DeLorean

VIN 10322 I bought my car in November 2015 and this blog is to post pictures and the general updates to my car. I also make fun of it on Instagram. Account (Going.88). Recently autographed by Bob Gale at DCS2016.

people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard

[lyricwritesprose]

There is sports discourse. There is yarn discourse. There is food discourse. There is academic discourse (dear sweet god is there academic discourse). If there are people out there collecting brass buttons specifically from 1921, they are going to have discourse about which buttons are trash and whether Person A cheated person B. To be human is to engage in pointless wankery sometimes.

There's DeLorean discourse! This one guy from Wisconsin got the license plate "OUTATIME" but then let it expire. Then another guy got the plate, but the first guy didn't remove his and still goes through red lights and toll booths. The second guy has to call and contest each ticket saying "no that's not my stock DeLorean with that plate, that's another one" and start over each time.

When they finally confronted in front of everyone the second guy grabbed a drill to remove the expired plate and gift the guy a novelty one from the movie. The offending DeLorean screeched (SCREECHED!) outta there!

And this is a group of people I never heard of discourse really happening. It's usually everyone is happy and sharing stories. :3 Every group, once reaching a sufficient size, will have drama

what if it was called Back to the Past and Marty McFly went to the past? like maybe even 1955

[going88]

I think you gotta fully flip it. Forward to the Past

Doc builds a functional car out of a time machine. It didn't need to go 88mph but Doc added some wheels to it. Think like if you made the TARDIS drivable.

The good ending is Martys family is actually poorer but still happy.

Biff is the same. Unedited.

My niece asked if she could ride in the DeLorean, she's 11 (12?) and the grandparents were nervous about it. No airbags, no backseat, and no rear view camera.

I pointed out the sun visor doesn't have a warning about youth riding in the car.

This did not help alleviate their concerns.

Was watching BTTF 3 last night and saw that once Marty gets back to 1985, there's a sign saying the station is now called 'Eastwood Ravine'.

And I've noticed that before, but today it got me thinking: what was that day like from the perspective of the 1885 Hill Valley residents?

Because from there point of view, the new guy in town Clint Eastwood: 1) Humiliated Buford Tannen in a fight 2) Immediately ran off with the local blacksmith 3) STOLE A FUCKING TRAIN 4) Proceeded to drive that train at speeds none of them have ever seen before and crash it into the ravine and die.

My dad said he'd be NOTORIOUS in the town and he's so right 😂

[going88]

Okay class today we're gonna calculate the arc that our towns hero Clint Eastwood--(brief moment of silence as everyone salutes the 125% scale statue in every hill valley classroom)--took when he conducted a science experiment.

collecting posts that are Biff Tannen and George McFly to me

Oh Lorraine the woman you are

the ending of bttf 1

[going88]

1985B Biff is his godparent. He drove Lorraine to the hospital for the birth (George was elsewhere). He babysat the kids. He takes money from the drawers.

Back To The Future (1985), dir. Robert Zemeckis

[going88]

Building a model of the DeLorean actually helped me figure out what parts are and were they are.

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Forty years ago, the future looked like this Volkswagen Scooter Concept, 1986. A radical three-wheeled prototype designed to bridge the gap between the safety of a car and the agility of a motorcycle. It used the front-wheel drivetrain from a VW Polo and featured removable gullwing doors for open-air driving. 

[outtatime]

you know of all the things to happen during this trilogy, i think getting chased by a bear in the middle of the desert is probably one of the craziest

guys i love my jenn to the future au and i literally drew this instead of writing it. like the joys of creating art for your own fanfic are beautiful

[going88]

You built a time machine from the car that famously could stop because of a dead battery MID-DRIVE due to an underpowered alternator?

You couldn't drive at night, with high beams, radio going, and have the a/c fan on without risking a dead battery.

HOW DOES BACK TO THE FUTURE 2 EXIST???

okay so you need to understand how the timeline works and basically for this you need to watch back to the future 1 and 2 (doc goes into detail in 2).

So as we know from back to the future 1 there are two timelines, we will call these TPM and LPM (Twin Pine Mall and Lone Pine Mall).

When Marty McFly goes back in time he is still in the TPM timeline however due to him running over a pine tree, he changes the past which is the TPM into the LPM so when he comes back into the present day he sees himself however that is the LPM Marty McFly. Which means that for around 10 minutes there were 2 Marty McFly's.

BUT now you have to really think about it, when LPM Marty left his timeline (went into the past) we never saw him return, and also the TPM Marty only stayed in that timeline for about a day, even less most likely which means... That Marty never came back to his correct timeline and most likely never came back, or went to a completely new one.

So when Marty and Doc and Jennifer go into the future (2015) how do we see older Marty? Because clearly that isn't the TPM Marty because that's the person we are watching, but also it can't be the LPM Marty because he never came back in time, but it is the LPM timeline because Biff remembers the flying delorean!

And yes we did learn that when you time travel and change something, a new dimension doesn't "branch off" however the old one disappears out of existence like it never existed therefore... Who's the 2015 Marty McFly?

[patheticperipatetic]

I've thought about this. Chapters I could write! However the conclusion is simple, Future Marty is our Marty if Doc hadn't popped in at the end of the movie to venture into the future. Future Marty didn't recognize the date as being one that he visits in the future because he didn't.

When our duo leaves Future Marty most definitely fades out of existence :D
