Q: Is this daily or hourly?
A: For local events, we can create custom options to meet your short-term time travel needs.
Q: Where did this time machine come from?
A: A time machine enthusiast in Florida did the initial build in 1998. After purchasing the car from him in 1999 we’ve been adding and updating time machine parts to make them more screen-accurate ever since. Read more about our flagship car’s origin by clicking here.
Q: Does the flux capacitor– flux?
A: Not only does it flux, but you can simulate a temporal displacement event with our time circuits. You can enter in a date and then trigger the speedometer to zoom up to 88 MPH as the flux capacitor strobes and your Destination Time now becomes Present Time.
Q: Are you are really far away from me?
A: We know over 100+ time machine replica owners throughout the world and can provide you with their contact information.
Q: Can I drive the car?
A: No. The DeLorean Time Machine is only intended for static display.
Q: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen?
A: While on the road we met a fan who had a giant flux capacitor tattoo on his leg.
Q: What do bystanders ask you?
A: By far the most popular question is “Did you do this all by yourself” and “How long did this take you?” The answer to the first question is we had many helpers that got us here along the way — almost too many to counter or even remember. As far as how long it took? We’re still upgrading our time machine as replica parts become known or are made available.
