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.
