why 88 mph
Why 88 mph
H is the 8th letter of the alphabet
Put 8 and 8 together and you have HH
Heil Hitler
That thing probably couldn’t even make it to 88 mph
Buckaroo Bonzai
dubs
very nice
It's a reference to going back in the time and giving Hitler a pile of detailed WW2 history books.
I don't see why it wouldn't if you're sticking plutonium in it .
because that's the speed required for flux capacitor to work
Well according to the internet, it was because the production designers thought it looked cool on the digital speedometer and it was easy to remember number for the viewer.
But I do not know if this is true
NHH
The original script called for 1,488mph, but the production team thought shooting a car going that fast would cost too much money for CGI back in the day.
The simple mundane answers are often the truth.
this was supposed to be The Future and we have to go Back To it
ive thought about it and they could have just towed a lightning rod behind the delorean and drove it around outside of town at 88mph.
69 would have been better
88 form the two analemmas of the sun and moon. They're also 9/11 synchronicity since they represent The Twin Towers (Boaz and Joachim) which are also represented in this film in the form of The Twin Pines Mall.
The real reason is the delorean topped out at 88 ish. I saw one with 90 on the speedometer going down a hill.
delorean speedometer only goes to 85
The speedo in the movie prop goes much higher.
Movie vehicles typically stay below 35 because higher speeds don't translate well when filmed.
The features of a real Delorian has nothing to do with the movie limitations.
it was 85mph max in the US only because that was the law at the time. you could UK and canadian speedometers were higher. you can get retro speedometers installed in them to 140mph. just because the speedometer topped out at 85 doesnt mean the car did
Implying he wouldn't make the same dumb mistakes
You Heil Hitler niggas still don't get it.
Based beyond belief
Wasn't the clocktower famously struck by lightning on that date? Probably better to go with the sure thing
That place is still there, kinda. The swastika was blown up, and the columns were removed a few years back, due to lack of maintenance, but the central part is still there. The field itself is apparently used as a parking spot for busses.
Someone should inform Kanye of that place. I'm sure he'd love to make one of this dumbfuck music videos there, which would be hilarious.
the columns were removed a few years back, due to lack of maintenance
lmao more like due to shoddy original construction. columns like those should last a thousand years with no maintenance
GREAT SCOTT!!!!!
Oh fuck i never thought about it
I always thought it was because 88 mph was the minimum it needed because the time machine basically just multiplied the cars speed many times fold until it went so fast it could go to another point in time
Each 8 symbolizes infinity. 88 is essentially infinity times infinity and it breaks the barrier of space time.
Its a joke from the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
The answer to all is 42
But 88 is double that
They wanted to make a time travel movie double as fun
Nice bait, made me reply
Otherwise, fucking moron
?
That was as fast as it could go.
Not very powerful.
Neat looking, though.
Ignore the nazi he's just butthurt because Hitler only had one testicle, was vegetarian, and killed his own dog before an heroing
Probably because you need to transfer al lot of energy from the car to the flux to make it work and 88mph is a shit ton of energy to be generating.
Why do barely any cars use gullwing doors? They look fucking cool. The only thing I can think of is if you park it in a garage with a low ceiling, you won't be able to get out the car.
There’s 88 keys on a piano
because you can't open them parked next to cars otherwise you hit them. Plus they are more expensive to make for little value.
Properly made gullwings should swing upwards only, not outwards if the hinge is placed correctly.
You can

Because it was 89, but then Doc went to 2008 and saw the importance of dubbs on 4chin and made the alteration.,
88 mph is 140 kmh, 1488
you ever have a hydraulic lift on a hatchback or hood fail? imagine that happening to your gullwing door
People didn't understand the things doc says on twitter
They're better than regular car doors honestly.
Nigga heil hitler.
88. turn them on their side and you have infinity x2. Theres more to it but eventually you get to nazis and they time travel there
manual Deloreans can do 123mph without the time travel bits
should be fine
HH, brother.
Christ how long does it take to get to that speed on a flat road with no wind?
about 88 miles
Why did redditors latch onto this ugly shitbox as le ebin 80s car?
That's a totally normal top speed for a smallish car with 130hp. Will take a moment but it will 100% get up there
t. german
what are you babbling about? back to the future was made in the 80s using an 80s car
BTF writer Bob Gale said he wanted a speed that looked cool and one that you couldn’t accidentally drive at just driving regularly. Marty was in a high speed chase and is why he got up to 88mph by accident. Also they had to put a custom speedometer into the DeLorean because Jimmy Carter limited speedometer to 85mph thinking it would limit speeding
car produced in the 1980s
car featured as a main plot point in extremely popular 80s movie
said movie's whole plot is about someone time travelling back to the 1980s
movie is filled with the cheesy 80s shit (skateboards, rock guitars, etc) that many people feel nostalgic about
Huh I dunno anon, they should have used a ford fiesta or some shit.
I think a lot of people today don't realize Doc building a time machine out of one was a joke. No one at the time considered them a cool car. Everyone knew they poorly built rattletraps plagued with issues. It'd be like building a time machine out of a Cybertruck or some other meme mobile today.
88 mph
relative to what?
you'd have to be a skinny to even take advantage of that in the first place
Yeah Bricklins were said to be notorious for the cylinders failing, but that was well before my time. The doors on those things weigh about 100 lbs each, which probably had something to do with the failures.
Lose some weight then fatass.
Your mom's pussy.
Impressive.
witnessed
because 88 is an infinity loop
Occult
pretty sure doc von braun or brown wouldn't support this lol
I am so fucking tired of this meme,
You are confusing glueing doors with seagul doors.
Proper glueing’s open UP not out.
Of course to be fair there are a lot of kit cars out there that do it wrong. Modern world design is shite
based
Doors? Where we are going, we don’t need doors.
The non modded speedometer only goes to 80
