Mr Hybrid Fusion Drive

After a huge paella and sufficient sangria to prevent an ice cream run, saturday night found us parked in front of the tube with a DVD of "Back to the Future". The kids were going to see it eventually, so why not now? I love Christopher Lloyd, and I love time-traveling DeLoreans even more.

My kid were beside themselves over the Libyans in the old VW bus and I decided that I need a panel van that advertises "24 Hour Scientific Experimentation".

The part that I most enjoyed this time around was at the very end. Dr Brown returns from the future with some slight modifications to the time machine, including a new drive (replacing the original Libyan plutonium-fueled powerpack) called the "Mr Fusion". Mr Fusion runs on banana peels and Miller Lite - talk about your basic bio-fuels, hmm? Pay close attention to the Mr Fusion logo, then go out and check out the GM Hybrid drive logo.

I know a bunch of guys over in design at Warren. They're all goofy and love to have a good laugh when they can. I know they are laughing every time they see their hybrid logo go by. Now I'm laughing, too.
