How to you respond: "Does it have a flux capacitor?"

[stainless304]

When you show your car to someone (car show, etc) and they think for a moment and say:
"Does it have one of those things.... (*pause*)..... a FLUX CAPACITOR!?!?"

Me: Yes it has the time travel telemetry package.... but it's only available if you also order the premium leather seats. Thankfully this one's loaded. :drummer:
Them: :hihi2: Can I take a picture?

What's your go-to answer?

[ThinkStainless]

"I haven't heard that since next week!"

I have a small flux capacitor on my key ring that I tell people is the modernized version.

It's funny you say that. I was looking at purchasing one of these to keep around.

Is this what you have?

What's a flax capacitor? Are you OK sir? Are you lost? Do you need help getting to the bus stop?

That your Rascal scooter? Need me to help you carry your oxygen? Does the home know where you are?

I have the (larger) miniature FC from ThinkGeek in the package in my glove box. When I get the question, I say, “Of course”, and while getting it out, I continue “... but these days it’s miniaturized. You simply plug it in your cigarette lighter and it fluxes, but it also charges your iPhone”.

Invariably, the person cracks up and sometimes asks where they can get one.

Yesterday, while at a Memorial Day show, people asked if Marty (or Doc) gave me (or drove) the car. I said “No, but they signed it.” (while flipping down my recently autographed visor). Minds.. blown, and then smiles.

I try to keep it light hearted and have fun with the fans (unless they are jerks). I remember that I’m driving an 80’s Icon and I’m representing the marque.

"Yeah it's right there. Just flip the switch to turn it on, but make sure your arms and legs are inside the vehicle or it'll get real messy."

After 2 years of ownership I'm still surprised how many people as but don't know what the flux capacitor actually looks like.

I also keep the small one for that reason and I tell them the "Hover Conversion" is on back order. Realize that many people say that line as a way of starting a conversation. It is meant to show that they have some familiarity with the car. Never mind you've heard it a thousand times.

It's like moving into an airport district and complaining about the noise. It comes with the territory.

Very nice! :thumbup: I'll need to pick one up too.

Thanks!

Absolutely.... it's enjoyable to turn the joke around and start a conversation. :burnout:

“Nope, I’m keeping this as original as possible. That is a great movie though.”

I really like that line. Mine is super original too and while I love the movie they are separate loves.

[opethmike]

I immediately begin mating with the person.

[Parzival]

They ask "Wheres the flux capacitor??"
I say "bend over and I'll show you"
Always gets a laugh (I say it in a very joking way)
The clever ones respond with "you can't talk to me that way Griswold!" To which I reply "I wasn't talking to you"

[jackb]

"I haven't heard that since next week!"

Same here

[About time]

I keep it in my pants, you've got to rub it to activate it, then it takes off like a rocket!

[DL4567]

I point to it and say, "right there!" (since my car has a flux capacitor). Blows them away every time if they didn't already see it. Even dumber thing is, if it does surprise them, it confirms they didn't even check before asking. It's right where it should be!

Haha, some good answers in here. The one above made me laugh.

[Sidaries]

"You asked the same tomorrow."

Or

"I don't know what you are talking about, but last evening I had fallen down from the toilet, while I put back a picture, and drew this!" and the showing the drawing of the flux capacitor.

I usually go with..." Hmm, not exactly sure what you're talking about. Flux is used in electrical connections; and a Capacitor is used to store energy. What do those things have to do with my car" ? Usually gets a good natured laff, although there have been a few who have just given me the "oh, ok" with a strange look in their eyes and walked away, as if I had no idea what they were talking about !

You should eat them instead. Or maybe mate.

[Lenny]

I bought one just to shut people up.

It's worth it just to see the kids get excited.

Have you taken your meds?

[Pizza Joe]

I'm thinking to make a drinking game for the next car show. Between "where's the flux capacitor" and the word "cocaine" everyone would need to get their stomach pumped.

I mate with them, and then I eat their corpse.

[DMC_Farmer]

I maintain eye contact and start urinating on their leg, to assert dominance.
