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.

This is what is called the “Delorean eyebrow.” I think it’s caused by environmental heat and a lack of support in that area.  Some people think it is caused by the heat from the headlights. Either way it looks stupid. I had eyebrows for a long time and it made me look surprised or confused.  The best way to remove them is to heat up the area and clamp it with a nice flat board.  Let it cool naturally.  This process can be repeated as many times as you want to completely relax the area.  Then you glue a 15 inch strip of aluminum to the underside out of view.  It will permanently fix the eyebrow problem.  I look so much more determined without those those raised eyebrows.

I've been thinking, what if Marty (Back to the Future) had somehow been from tumblr?

“Air? It’s the invisible gaseous substance surrounding the earth, a mixture mainly of oxygen and nitrogen. Are you alright?" 

"You keep on saying that, is there some sort of problem in the future with keeping things balanced evenly?”

“Marty, the word "this” isn’t even a sentence on it’s own. Honestly, it seems as if the minds of the future are slowly deteriorating. It’s a wonder I was able to build a time machine at all!“

"You ‘slash’ these two? Why do you wish to harm them?”

“Marty! I didn’t know you speak spanish!”

“That picture in no way, shape, or form makes my argument invalid.”

It's perfect. The lowered hood so you have great visibility

The asymmetrical mirrors, so you can see better

vents for days

popped a tire? not an issue

Some sillies. Once again, stuff from the Back to the Future light novels. So, I did not come up with these images. These are redraws of the images originally made by Zerogo Iwamoto. I just made them fully colorized.

does doc actually have a degree like is he for real a doctor phd or is that just something he’s called do we ever get information on his doctoral thesis

[knickynoo]

Hey, so I saw @rose-of-pollux answered about Doc graduating from Caltech, and I looked it up as well because I couldn't remember if there's more specific info regarding his studies, and I need everyone to know that I came across the Caltech alumni page for a guy named Doc Brown. He studied applied physics and did his thesis on "Enhanced Thermoelectric Perormance at the Superionic Phase Transitions of Mixed Ion-Electron Conducting Materials."

Seems like his real name is David, but he goes by Doc for several very obvious reasons (his real last name is Brown).

Anyway. Was delighted to come across that and had to share.

McFly July day 10: “Getting Tranked”

all i could think of was jr yelling at that car… producers will do anything to hit michael j fox with a car i guess

[contextfreepatentart]

[kittykatkity]

REALLY RUSHED but I . Mcfly July day 1 . Yay

[going88]

It's my headcanon that their commute lines up often enough that this wasn't the first time Marty did this

[psychicpinenut]

slow down there, Doc!

how was chicago??? i can’t believe i was within goldfish radius and didn’t even know

It was fun! The big onion never disappoints

[bunjywunjy]

Chicago, lit. "place of the wild onion", Algonquin language groups

[bunjywunjy]

also. it's got Layers

[oodles-of-reblogs]

Why is there a car in that oddly empty industrial warehouse?

[bunjywunjy]

That's not a warehouse, that's lower lower wacker.

LAYERS

[going88]

I have, thrice(!!) successfully navigated Lower Wacker to my destination with the GPS failing as soon as I entered. The trick is knowing that it was coming way ahead of time and mapquest-style printing the important bits. Counted the exits, emerged where I needed to B)

Small disclaimer that I've been down there many times but only came out where I wanted three times.

Back to the Future (1985)

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.

[going88]

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.
