It's.... Back to the 80s : Get Thee To A DeLorean!!.
How funny. Just last night on Court TV there was one of the ubiquitous Jon-Benet Ramsey things on, and the show was featuring some detective who worked on the case. His car is a DeLorean. All I can think is, how can he get parts?

Flux capacitors, however, are another matter entirely.
