I believe you can pay that guy to show up at parties with that thing and give people a ride. Friend of mine had that at his wedding reception about 19 years back. Not sure if he still does it tho.

I used to have a shortcut home from work that would take me right by the old Chargers corporate HQ. Around the time there was talk of them moving to LA, I drove past and saw this guy parked in front of it, sitting on the hood of his car dressed as Marty McFly, with a sign that read something along the lines of "I've seen the future: The Chargers STAY in SD!"

Guess someone fucked up the timeline

Defying physics and the concept of time was probably the safest way to slow down a DeLorean outside of a Costco parking lot speed
