way that would work. But, I appreciate the thought. I live just 20 miles from the Atlantic ocean. The important thing is that you guys make the most of your time together.

You could go 180 MPH but you would probably need gas and new tires every 15 minutes. A bit of a deal breaker.

i think a buddy of mine has one in his shed. I'm pretty sure it only fits a DeLorean though. You'd have to find someone with an adapter to make it fit your Vette.

You can get Flux Capacitors on eBay. Not sure how reliable they are though. I don't believe you can get the full 1.21 jigawatts either.

I thought I would fix the rocking seat because she is 5'4" and I have the seat all the way back so it never bothered me. I take the seat out and saw a bunch of white plastic pieces on the floor of the vette. Oh crap the seat clevis adjuster is toast, now waiting on that part. Had the tires forced balanced, have not driven the car yet. Now they are predicting six inches of snow Monday So more salt and not many days left to road test, and I don't care, cause I can't wait to see my Lady !!
