FLORIDA MAN CRASHES DODGE CHALLENGER IN AN ATTEMPT TO TIME TRAVELIt appears that a Florida man has taken the recent Back to the Future celebrations a step too far. Last week a man in Pensacola, Fla. reportedly drove and crashed his Dodge Challenger through the wall of a small office in an attempt to time travel.
According to Pensacola news station Channel Three, the unidentified man was uninjured and was taken to the hosipital for evaluation. So far, the driver has been charged with reckless driving. The report doesnt state if the car was traveling 88 mph at the time of the collision.
But based on the photos, the Challenger was likely travelling fairly fast. The report states that the Challenger crashed through the front wall of Advanced Tax Services and finally came to a stop halfway through the back wall. Since the accident occurred on a Sunday, no employees were in the office. However, much of the furniture and computers suffered extensive damage.
It looked like a bomb went off, Emanuel Mores, General Manager of Advanced Tax Services, told Channel Three. I was mad, then eventually I was happy no one was hurt.
A casket business next door also suffered extensive damage and was deemed unsafe to enter. Both businesses stated they will move to new offices.

Since the Chally is white we would have also accepted "The driver was trying to reenact the ending scene of Vanishing Point"

He tried to time travel and managed to strike at death (caskets) and taxes simultaneously.

Pensacola IS dangerously close to Alabama.
