What happens when a 10-year-old sees Back to the Future 2 at a drive-in and decides he MUST own a DeLorean someday? You get Andy McFly and RentDeLorean.com.

Andy's first car was an '85 Chrysler LeBaron—hand-me-down from grandma for $300, complete with holes in the passenger-side floor and the Flash symbol painted on the side. After upgrading to an '89 Buick Century (with power windows!), Andy never forgot his childhood dream.

In 2012, that dream became reality—and a business. Now an elementary art teacher by day and Doc Brown impersonator by night, Andy brings joy to countless events with his time machine. One birthday party still makes him tear up: an 8-year-old boy with a cochlear implant, dressed as Marty McFly, meeting the DeLorean of his dreams.

Andy's met Christopher Lloyd (as a Doc Brown Klingon, naturally), given Claudia Wells a ride, and created Minnesota's #1 geocache spot—a full-sized TARDIS free library outside his home.

His message? "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything." Dreams don't have to stay in 1989—they can become your future.

Andy's favorite episode is "Camaros, Convertibles & Coming of Age – Lisa’s Automotive Memoir" https://pod.link/1733902541/episode/5bc9d53f678ee65d4a046abf4e0b46cf
