  I would still prefer a Delorean.

    In the reboot or in real life?

    'Cause they were shit in real life.

      but it could be tweaked back into life and had some actually interesting features. its a shit vehicle, but it could have been more.

      the cybertruck is just landfill material.

        The whole reason it was used in the original was that it was already a massive joke of a car.

        Looks ok but runs like shit, the gull wing doors broke all the time and leaked like a sive.

        It's use in BTTF actually saved its reputation and gave it a place in people's heart's it never had before.

        That was why I made the comparison. Shit car that needs a movie to make it relevant and slightly cool.

        Don’t send it to the landfill! I bet you could make a few stainless steel sinks out of it.

      Really? That’s disappointing.

        I can't find a top speed figure but it did have a 0-60mph of 10.5 seconds...and that was the manual.

        When equipped with a manual transmission, the DeLorean accelerated from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 10.5 seconds as tested by Road & Track magazine.

      Yes. At least a DeLorean is a Lotus underneath, and the weak engine can be/has been solved.

      I can confirm this. My friends neighbor had a DeLorean and it sat in the driveway covered in a tarp waiting for “parts” 98% of the time. I can count the times I saw him drive it on one hand.

      In the reboot.

  i fucking hope not. there's a few films and series that should never be remade or 'rebooted', and bttf is one of them.

    I agree completely but we both know that is not going to stop them doing it.

    They did it to Ghostbusters.

    • ares35@kbin.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      yes. yes they did. i still haven't been able to get all the way through the 'reboot'.

  I think it’ll be better suited to a Mad Max reboot.

  Then this one will be the ancient historical coach and people would ask where the horses are :-)

  You built a time machine out of a cybertruck ?!

  i dont see it. the delorean was actually a neat vehicle with a few drawbacks. the cybertruck is 100% hot garbage.

    Just say the stainless steel body helps the flux capacitor work and you are good to go.

    Most reboots are about call backs that are not as good as the original.
