    So, is the Delorean such a crappy sports car that it needs to struggle to reach 88 mph, or is that just due to the added weight of the time travel equipment? Because my friend's '91 Corolla seems faster than that.

    What, there is no such thing as stainless steel Lego pieces? Make that switch and change the power supply on the motor to .01 volt, and that might have the sucker running at true DeLorean speeds.

    @Nintenboy01: The car is apparently an everyday driver as well, so I'm assuming that the owner didn't want to do anything that would end up ridiculously expensive and be a lot of work to revert back once the show-off is finished. As awesome as it may sound in theory, driving around with huge metal vents and other junk blocking your rear view isn't exactly the best thing to do.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Oh I see. Was it a fellow Giz reader who provided this car? Looking at the pics on Jalopnik, a lot of the stuff in the back appears to be made of foam for easy removal.

    @Nintenboy01: Not sure if he's a Giz reader, just that the stuff on the car is rigged (taped) so that the car can easily be reverted back to its original DeLorean goodness.

    Because of the awesomeness of internet people collecting into a geeky tech crevice, all of the shortcomings of the DeLorean are totally forgivable, and still strangely awesome.
