“I could write an article about a Cybertruck owner driving nearly 100 mph through a neighborhood that nearly killed a motorcyclist, or I could write a dopey article about a harmless movie prop car. Better go with the movie prop story, just to be on the safe side.”

Mostly, I think the answer is that you know EXACTLY what you’re doing here. This is an entire writeup built out of the premise of “WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THINGS THAT I DON’T LIKE?!”

There’s two kinds of automotive stupidity. Harmful and harmless. Prop cars are harmless and if they bring joy to their owners I don’t have to understand. I wish their owners all the joy in the world even though I don’t get it.

...this thing ends up going for more than I make in a year.

I make BTTF props, including a fully functional time circuits display, many of which are installed in Delorean time machines. They’re even used in the BTTF musicals, in the stage cars.

Okay, Millennial.

I don’t understand why millennials dress up like fictional characters but whatever turns you on, man. DeLoreans are not great cars but they bring back good memories just like those old guys driving 1969 Mustangs. Which also weren’t great cars. Different strokes and all that.  If you can get me an Aston Martin DB5 for

I never understand why people crap on what other collect.I mean ,I would love to see a replica of the SR5,but let’s face it financially it is just as dumb.Buying a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing would also fall under just as dumb financially,yet people still do it.Baseball cards,diecast,beanie babies.Hell people are paying

There is an answer. It is very controversial and seems to upset a lot of people, particularly on the internet. I’ll probably be hunted down and doxxed into oblivion for even hinting at it, but here we go:

From, and on behalf of Canada, yes to the kick, no to staying here.

You don't know who it's for because it's not for you. The nacho cheese effect. "Who's cheese is that? Not yo cheese"

This reminds me of an episode of The Big Bang Theory, where Leonard was SO excited to show Penny an episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” expecting her to be as excited by it as he was, but she wasn’t, at all. She just couldn’t understand at all why he was so passionate about it.

I agree with you that I’d rather have a replica of the Toyota truck than a Delorean.

I was born in ‘91 and as a kid I only wanted 3 vehicles: Herbie, the BTTF time machine, and the Mach 5. I don’t think it’s a generational thing.

100% if there is a back to the future remake they will use a cyber truck. Musk will be so proud but he'll miss the entire point that they are actually making fun of the ct. 

It’s simple it’s for fans, you are not a fan therefore it is not for you. That said Doc making a time machine out of a Delorean, which everyone knew back then was a shit car, WAS the whole joke, Marty even says as much to Doc when he’d like “You made a time machine out of a Delorean?!” line in the movie. He took a car

whole article is pretty cringe throwing off “I dont get this new fangled music” vibes but in reverse. I’m at 89 baby too.

Without Back to the Future, DeLorean DMC-12s would have been completely forgotten which would be a shame. Then again, Elon would have probably picked a different material for the Cybertruck so it’s a wash.

Now, I’ll readily admit, I’m too young to truly get “Back to the Future.”
