October 2008

When I arrived at my destination in my Delorean I found out my gullwing door would not open. I played around with but with no luck. I tried to think why would this happened and then it hit me like a bolt of lightning. a bolt of lightning.

The valet shut the door for me and the logical conclusion is that he didn’t close the gullwing door all the way. I climbed out the passegner side and looked at the door. I locked it, I unlocked it, it opened.

I didn’t have any other problems with the doors but on the way home it started to rain hard and my winshield wipers decided that they didn’t want to work correctly anymore. I had to get off the highway and play around with it at the gas station and was able to get the passenger winshield wiper working so I drove home with my head tilted to the right.

Watch both footage from the movie at the same time.

Got an email letting me know that my screen accurate lenticular hat has been shipped. So I should have it for my Marty McFly costume before Halloween.

If you need suspenders for your Marty McFly costume, the correct suspenders Marty wears are 3/4 inch wide black suspenders, with an x-back (no crosspatch), silver brackets and clasps, and a maximum length of 42”.

This fan made music video is nothing but great. Razimus puts himself in the scenes of the Back to the Future trilogy and interacts with himself wearing amazing back to the future costumes. The lyrics to the song is great. Besides the wrong jean jacket for his Marty McFly costume, it was perfect.

 One word. Hilarious. 

Here are some of Ron Cobb’s original conceptual designs for the DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future. The interior photos show no sign of the flux capacitor and remember the flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible.

Got laid off from my job last week and have been considering selling the Delorean. Since my wife and I won’t be working at the same company anymore, we will need two cars. So I decided to keep the Delorean and it will become my daily driver.I had a flat tire a few weeks ago and bought a new tire and just got it put on last weekend.

The Delorean needs an alignment really badly. I’m not sure where I’m going to take it. Otherwise the car has been running good and the windshield wipers fixed themselves.My main problem now is that my AC belt is squeaking very loudly. The AC works but I’m not using it currently because i’m not sure what the current problem is and I don’t want to make it worst.  I believe the belt is new. I’ll post a video of the AC making the noise and maybe someone can figure out what is causing the squeaking noise.

I’m most likely going to be traveling around the world from January to November next year and won’t be updating the Delorean until afterwards. I’m going to have my dad take it for a short drive every week.

As long as I get my back to the future hat before halloween I’m happy. 

I was finally able to ride the Simpsons ride last weekend. After the Simpsons ride ended I said, “The Back to the Future Ride was better!” I was lieing to myself the Simpsons ride is great but I still want the Back to the Future Ride instead. I went into a few gift shops that had Back to the Future merchandise last time I was at Universal Studios but to my surprise no Back to the Future merchandise was to be found. I could not find the Delorean Time Machine anywhere in the park. 

A tan Stetson cowboy hat with leather bolo style hatband was worn by the character Marty McFly in Back to the future 3. The hat was custom made for the actor and has the original hatter’s label sewn inside with “Made By Stetson Especially For Michael J. Fox” printed on the interior. The cowboy hat comes with a letter of authenticity from the costume house.  

Price: $7,500.00 
The Golden Closet

This very rare delorean toy car was sold exclusively by Toys R’ Us back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I remember being in Toys R’ Us back when i was around 8 and begging my parents to get me this (Around 1992). They would not because of the price tag (Around $119) and mainly because i was way to big for it. I think this is designed for 2-4 years old. It actually moves just like the popular Barbie Jeep.
