Default Back to the Future (choose your starship)

Stupid fun.

You've been given the chance to zip back in time to the 50's L.A. (soda-shops, bobby socks, drive-in movies, hot rods) and you can take any present day car with you. Just something to astound the locals and play with their 1950's brains. What car will you choose and how will you roll in it?

I think I'll just take this... in black.

Well, if it has to be a car, I would probably choose the Lexus LFA but it'd be pretty close between the LFA and the Reventon.

lol the irony...

I'd pick a LS 600h L.... not my first passionate choice but to have it park itself and glide on electric only power would be funny, not to mention the reclining seats, NAV, radar crusie etc etc

A car that talks would, in itself, freak em out.

Porsche 911 (997), no one would notice me.

but seriously, LS is a good choice...but I would bring a brand people would already know and then be amazed at the difference. So Mercedes S400 Hybrid would be my choice.

A little bit off topic, but I would also bring an iPhone. That kind of technology is really alien to them.

LFA no question, it will truly be unique back in the 50s
