Hm... was it a good or bad thing (to you guys that own a D) that Back To The Future featured one? On one hand, since this car was in BTTF, people don't go up to you guys going "what's that car", however, when they see a D, BTTF is all they can think about. So... I'm curious to see your opinions.

I think its a good thing. Without it not many people would know what they are. Plus it helps with value in later years. One thing I have noticed is that kids know what they are more than adults. Due to BTTF.

and the "adults" that know what it is make bttf jokes that arent as original as they think they are. they should make bumper stickers for ds that say not to make bttf jokes cause they are used to much. of course if you want someone to get away you can say youre radioactive form the plutonium.

...or you could jsut go back in time and then avoid the confrontation all together, or pre-emptively give he/she who is approaching the finger before they open their mouth. I dig the latter the best. =)

ok back on topic, since i have a degree in nuclear physics i worked this out(the power of the car with nuclear power)Call me mad but I've also got my Chev Camaro(1980s) chucked away all thoose engine parts and fitted it with 20 kg of Uranium-238 aplha emmiter. now the power works out to be 50MW per sec at the wheels. So the next problem i had was findingthick tires. I managed to find some but it required me fitting 15s on my car, and ditching the 18s i had. so i now have at the rear 15inx12 in weld rims wrapped with 32in x 13in Hoosier rubber. this just keeps my car moving! Now i having problem storing the nuclear waste at the moment. next problem i had was it shattered the manual gearbox so i had to replace it with an automatic(works much better now).
its fine nowbut I don't know what the police will do to my car if they pull it over. I don't think nuclear powered cars are legal. anyway it does 0-160 MPH in 5 secs.
