    That's not a time machine. Where's the flux capacitor?

    OMG! Is that what the GenIII ScanGauge is going to look like?

    I really like the upgraded analog clock.

    I can see one big advantage though...

    With Mr. Fusion, you'd never have to plug it in or stop for gas. :D

    Just occasionally throw a banana peel or beer can in there, LOL.

    Everyone knows the flux capacitor is mounted in the rear, between the seats.

    Hey, I was picturing the lightning rod thing into the Prius battery.... and something clicked

    What is some sneaky person was to make a PHEV hybrid that could recharge off the tramway overhead electrical lines, with retractable tubes...

    Does anyone remember in Back to the Future Yet Again when Marty said "Hyo Silver?" That was my very favouritest part. :D

    Michael J Fox doesn't happen to own a silver Prius, does he? :rolleyes:

    You know what would totally rock? A steampunk Prius interior. A brass surround for the monitor, which would be outfitted with typewriter keys on the sides, mahogany dash and weathered brown leather steering wheel, again with brass accents and lots of superfluous rivets, the glove box doors would be slatted wood like on a roll-top desk, all kinds of faux clock escapement cogs and wheels ... yes, if I were rich, I'd hire one of these people: Dave Veloz's Mac Mini Mod, Monitor, & Keyboard | The Steampunk Workshop to put it all together for a total back-to-the-future look.
