The Times has a light piece about Lauren J. Reilly, a 31-year-old Manhattanite who owns a stock 1981 DeLorean. She’s single, boys.
“One time I was down in Philly, and behind me I hear this megaphone from the cops,” she said. “They’re like, ‘Pull over!’ ”
Before Ms. Reilly could comprehend her violation, an officer delivered one of the film’s famous quotes over the police car’s loudspeaker: “One point twenty-one gigawatts!” (She also gets a lot of “88 miles per hour!”) The officers watched her car while she and a friend got cheesesteaks.
Ask Me About My Flux Capacitor [NYTimes]
Come see Lauren at the DeLorean Mid-Atlantic Spring Social (along with 30+ DeLoreans) in Long Branch NJ. April 26, 2008
Thanks, Joel! I think so too :)
You know they do make reproduction flux capacitors now. With a little PVC piping, a cuisinart and the vents she could easily convert the ride into Doc Brown’s Delorean. I would.
How a cute 31 year old with the disposable income to afford such a luxury in Manhattan could be single is boggling. If someone up there doesn’t take her off the market I may have to come back and do it myself.
I ordered a Flux Capacitor from TFAW a few months ago. I am going to install it in my 1955 pre-A Porsche Speedster. If I get to 88, I will go back in time.
I am afraid that only works with DeLoreans. Remember what the doc says… the stainless steel is ideal for temporal displacement. What would happen if you used your Plastic Bodied kit car… it would go back in time all right… but in a giant blob of plastic goo… stick with the DMC… it will pull you thru.
Plastic bodied kit car? Blaspheme! Numbers matching, bub!
I agree I only one girl who drives a cool car but she owns a mustang parts website
I feel crass admitting that I can only date women with nice cars. But a Delorean…idk…the babe’s car should be newish, clean, cool, preferably, but I could totally see myself cheesing out with the Back to the Future jokes, and she would be hella pissed when (not if) I burned the clutch out. Also, I would be so inclined to spin brodies with the doors open like those funny rap guys do on MTV (my bad!) So I guess that’s why I’m seeing a chick with a brand-new Kia. Besides, beggers can’t be choosers. Peace!
