Marty's McFly Ride: Back To The Future Toyota Truck Concept, Driven
Toyota's 2008 SEMA pickup's named the Tacoma Truck Concept. However, most call it the BTTF Truck, for "Back to the Future," as it's meant to look similar to the 1985 Toyota pickup Marty McFly drives at the movie's end. More » -

Gizmodo Gallery Delorean Gets Lots Of Umm...Looks
We just arrived here at the Temple of Geekdom (aka the Gizmodo Gallery). It was easy to spot, just look for the shonkiest excuse for a Back to the Future-replica DeLorean you’ve ever seen. We’re not just making fun of it because we’ve both driven the DeLorean DMC-12 and seen a parade of DeLoreans down Woodward Avenue every year this decade, this thing is really bad. Mostly held together with duct tape and cable ties, there’s also some spray painted cardboard boxes with holes cut out of them to form louvers, an assortment of non-connected wires and an old kitchen exhaust fan sitting on top of a box. The Flux Capacitor appears to be an old coffee maker. And no, we don't mean the Mr. Fusion kind.

Man Restores Griff Tannen's Hover BMW From Back To The Future 2
Like all children of the Back To The Future generation, we can vividly remember the moment Marty spies his nemesis Griff Tannen in his hover BMW during the second installment of the futuristic trilogy — though we were never huge enough fans to track down the original movie car, buy it and attempt a complete restoration. Jeff Chabotte on the other hand, did just that. The fan of all things McFly bought the BMW 633-based "hover craft" from a fellow BTTF fanboy. Chabotte then restored the car to movie condition — obviously, and sadly, without flight capabilities. Like our other hero of the week who built a Lamborghini in his basement, Chabotte spent his blood, sweat and tears on this project strictly for the love of the car. We get that. More »
