Hi everyone.
As some of you might know, I am driving my Delorean in the Greenwich
Village Halloween Parade this Sunday. I have a whole bunch of people
coming in 1980s costumes to walk with me (will be sure to post
pictures).
My dilemma is this: My car does not have a working stereo. We need
music for the parade. I don't really want to have a bring a "boom
box" because that would sound crummy and wouldn't be very loud. I
tried taking a small stereo system from my home, but it does not run
on batteries. So, I would like to try to use the car as a power
supply.
However, my cigarette lighter is rusty and not very trustworthy.
Also, after talking to Justin Reaves, who destroyed some appliance by
plugging it into his lighter, I don't think this is a great idea.
Apparently the wiring can be very bad.
Second problem...I am not sure about the condition of my car
battery. The day I got it I needed a jump start. However, since
fixing the air conditioner and some other stuff I haven't had any
problems since. But, it is always a worry. This would be stop-and-
go for a few miles and I cannot have my car die in the middle of a
parade. That would be very embarrassing and I am sure NYC would have
lots of great fines to slap me with.
So, I went to Radio Shack and purchased an "accessory outlet" which
is basically like another cigarette lighter. And, I got a 140 watt
DC-to-AC inverter. I would have to hook up the new outlet, which I
don't really know how to do.
Can you tell me
a) how to attach the outlet
b) if this is a terrible idea
c) about another solution to my problem
Thank you so much!
Lauren
