Chrysler vs. DeLorean - which car is better for time-travel???

I have a very good suggestion for where you can put your flux capacitor...

Honu

if you can find a delorean it is still an excellent choice, if not I would go with a PT cruiser.

Naa stick it in a Crossfire...those pieces of shit gotta be useful for SOMETHING.

If you're planning on travelling *back* in time, then you should use a vehicle of any make from no later than 4 years before the year you'll be visiting. That way, once you get when you're going, you can drive around without detection.

If you're going *forward*, it doesn't really matter. Use something current and when you get then, you'll just be driving an old car.

Unless you want to spend the next five years finding a DeLorean I'd go with a Chrysler. The Chrysler 300 has gun-slit windows, making it hard to see inside, offer plenty of interior space, and they are readily available. Plus they have a kind of timeless look about them and wouldn't look too anachronistic back in the mid-sixties or later.

Well... it sorta does matter. No one on the planet will be driving a Camry, Accord, Civic, etc. 40 years from now or will even remember them, but there'll probably be quite a few slant-6 Valiants running around. ;-)

Neither.

Use a 1983 Corvette.

I think the stainless steel construction of the DeLorean is important for proper flux dispersal. So I would use that instead of the Chrysler, unless you can make a quick trip to Philadelphia when the Budd Company is still in business for the proper retrofitting.

Stainless steel is a lousy electrical conductor compared to regular automotive steel. If you need a good conductor for flux dispersal, use a Valiant. If you need an insulator, use a Corvette. A DeLorean is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator (nor a good car, but I digress).

Yes, good for going back, especially. You're already about 50 years back just looking at it.

Try an iCar and sell the idea to Steve Jobs. Look at him this Tuesday at MacWorld Expo; he may already have used your invention and you can sue him for enough to go to a rest home.

You can find a DeLorean easy enough...totally rebuilt ones are still being sold. Do a google.
