Welcome back Comic-Con, Profiles in History and Back to the Future fans!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Guess what I found on the con floor at Comic-Con this year? A freaking TIME MACHINE! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well to be precise, the Back To The Future Delorean<\/a> time machine from the trilogy series of movies. Doc Brown’s device is in pristine condition as you can see below and is in for a special “future” of its own! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Back<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s right! One of the real DeLoreans from the Back to the Future<\/em> franchise was present at the con thanks to Profiles in History<\/a> (they are the \"Click<\/a>team behind the Syfy show <\/a>Hollywood Treasure<\/a><\/em>)<\/a> and Team Fox benefitting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson\u2019s Research<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Seven cars were used for the three movies, but now only three of the DeLoreans still exist and one of them was right in front of me at Comic-Con. COOL! You could even sit in the car and have your picture taken for a $20 donation to The Michael J. Fox Foundation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Back<\/a><\/p>\n

I get to sit in a time machine AND I\u2019m giving to a good cause? DOUBLE COOL!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Back<\/a><\/p>\n

GREAT SCOTT! I saw the freaking flux capacitor and the console where you type in the day and year you want to go. It was FRAKING unbelievable. If only I had some plutonium handy\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Back<\/a><\/p>\n

There were also props from all three of the Back to the Future<\/em> movies. It was SO neat to see them. I watched those movies over and over again when I was a kid.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the stars of Hollywood Treasure<\/em> were present at the Profiles in History booth too. I got a chance to speak to Joe Maddalena<\/a> (he really is one of the nicest and hardest working guys ever), Brian Chanes<\/a> (he\u2019s so charming), and Jon Mankuta<\/a> (one of the most charismatic and funny guys I know) while checking out the car and other props.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Click<\/a>They had lots to say about the wonderful foundation that the money from the DeLorean photos was going to. The Michael J. Fox Foundation <\/a>is dedicated to identifying a cure for Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/a> and for improving the lives of those suffering from the disease today. For more information on this foundation, please visit the Team Fox website<\/a>. Thank you. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Click<\/a>
\n<\/span>If you missed seeing the car at Comic-Con and you\u2019re in the San Diego area, you can catch it at the San Diego Air & Space Museum<\/a> until August 13, 2011. \u00a0After that, this time machine will be up for sale in an upcoming Profiles in History auction where a portion of the proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson\u2019s Research.\"Click<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
