I wonder if the $100k has been spent on paying for other people's crashes when they see it :

Maybe the 100k was spent steam cleaning the seats and carpet every time someone got in and vomited due to the horrendous colour scheme. Damn.

For 100k would you rather have wasted your cash on that or something like a ferrari or porshe or BMW or even FPV etc etc etc........ You get my drift!

C'mon the Fux-capacitor was something the Doc invented in back to the future, there must surely be a Light Saber in the glove box or something. I don't think he spent 90k on Jedi training either cause from my understanding Yoda bought in a scholarship program and the government gives you a $5000 'First Jedi Grant' too

P.S. I might message him and ask about the Light Saber

Well I'll be damned, it does have a Flux-capacitor! It's in the boot between the amps.
AUXR8220, what if you puncture it with something other than the light saber?
