In the classic time travel Sci-Fi film Back to the Future, Doc Brown presents us with a magnificent time machine in the sleek design of a Delorean . But what if the Doc hadn't chosen such a car. What would have Marty been in throughout the trilogy? What alternate time machines are there?

I thought the VW baywindow the libians were driving was way cooler than the delorian.
 
How much machinery do you have to get into it? A Lamborghini won't carry an extra pair of shoes, but getting up to the required speed isn't a issue. On the other end a Kenworth with a trailer would allow you to carry a few cars and a time machine easily.
 
sorry guys haveing or stealing a tardis is the only true way to travel in style throw time but kitt would be the car i would pick to race through time in hehe

Nah, one of the flying cop cars from "Bladerunner".

So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?
