small world.  That's cool that the pics were taken on opposite coasts.  It it's obvious they are driving accross the country promoting the new game, Back to the Future.  
The license plate is their web address.  They are probably hitting many public events and such for maximum exposure.  
If two members here took the pics of the car, I wonder how many around the nation took pics....it could be the most photographed vehicle in the nation, besides the Oscar Mayer car, of course  ;D.

Hello, McFly?
 
They came to the year 2010 and saw all these 30 yr old chevy trucks and they thought it was the 1970's and they thought they went back in time from the '80's.

Then, they went to year 2030 and still saw all these 50 yr old chevy trucks and they got all confused. They don't know what year they are in.

You know, that would make for a great GM commercial...mixing the BTTF Delorean and all these '70's trucks showing they didn't go back in time afterall, these trucks just don't age.  I should've been in marketing.  It would promote the DVD/game/blu ray and GM making a come back and being timeless.

That's a lot of drivin right there.  It looked like they had been goin a long ways cuz the car was quite dirty.  Well this pic was around lawrenceville, GA on I-85 South.



I wonder if I got behind and pushed em up to 88MPH could I piggy back through time with em?  with my luck just the front clip would make it, and Id be left behind with half a truck.... :'(

So why don't you make like a tree....  and get outa here!

The driver was swarmed with questions so I opted to eat my food and finish my 8 hr drive. If I could go back in time (haha) I would have asked what he was up to. This pic was taken literally in the middle of no where. All farm land in the central valley.

We had a local H.S. boy want a Delorian for his first car. His parents found a pretty nice one and bought it for him since he is a strait A student and all around GREAT kid. He and his dad used some sheet metal and dryer vents and whatever else to make an insert in the back of the car for parades and stuff like that. He just takes off the hatch and adds the time machine componants. Looks pretty cool.
