Can a DeLorean be towed 4 down?

Except for staying below 88 mph.....do I need to disconnect the Flux capacitor?

Since the only way a DeLorean will get moving these days is to tow it, I'd give it a shot.

According to Page 35 of the DeLorean's Owner's Manual, the answer is no, the vehicle should only be towed on a flat bed to minimize any damage.

I figured that.

What if I turn the tires sideways and let it "float" behind me? My concern is it might drift into the other lane.

I'd be real careful. Even if the flux capacitor is disconnected, it can retain a charge. With the wheels turned like that, the whole rig combination could end up in 1955.

Tow the DeLorean here. It would get back to 1985 or 1986..

Wasn't that still during the 'K-car' era? You know, when all the manufacturers ran out of ideas for new designs and for a few years every car you bought - Ford, Chevy, Oldsmobile - all looked exactly the same...rectangular with headlights.

Staying below 88 MPH ain't too difficult since 85 MPH is the maximum on the DeLorean speedometer.

(Old thread I know) but fun movie fact, for that reason of being able to show 88mph on the speedometer for the BTTF movies... they actually had to fabricate a new speedometer "face" with a 95mph max for the camera shots showing the time travel speed. Most cars in that 1980's era topped out at 85mph on the dial.

Keep parking on the grass and they'll tow for you.

Don't they all, still today?
