"So, the discovery is not fun in itself, it doesn't add anything to the movie experience, and thus wouldn't really be worth much attention."
Sorry Fun Police, but you don't get to decide what's fun for everyone. This wasn't a movie review, and if you're not interested in people enjoying trying to decide if a completely impossible concept (a car from 1985 traveling through time) would have worked within the reality constructed by the movie, then feel free to skip down to the next HN story.
Reading, then commenting on, a story which is self described to be on a topic you have no interest in, can be considered nothing more than trolling.
