Buy Doc Brown's Flux Capacitor, Truly Understand What 1.21 Gigawatts Means

Car accessories are generally hit or miss: some are cool only when you're a kid, like neon lights, and some are cool, well, never, like fuzzy dice. Dig deep enough in O'Reilly Auto Parts' website, and you'll come across glimmers of awesomeness, like this piece. Innocuously listed as part number 121G, it's an EB Enterprises Flux Capacitor.

It can only be installed in a 1981-83 DeLorean, since it needs the stainless steel body panels to function properly, and you do have to already have a nuclear reactor built in. Fortunately, Rolls-Royce can help you with that. You either need plutonium from the Libyans, which is harder to come buy now that Gaddafi's gone, or you can spring for the optional upgrade kit #121GMF, which converts the power source to a Mr. Fusion.

The only drawback is that they're currently out of stock, presumably until around October 21st, 2015, when they can source more from their supplier.
