DeLorean, remodeled similar to the "Back to the Future Part II" time machine, that runs on bioethanol fuel made from old clothes, is driven by retired Japanese professional baseball player Takeshi Yamasaki, right, as retired baseball player Masa Yamamoto smiles during a special celebration event organized by NBC Universal Entertainment Japan to mark the 30th anniversary of the sci-fi film's debut, in Tokyo Wednesday, October 21, 2015. The celebration of the so-called "Back to the Future" Day on Wednesday marks the date – October 21, 2015 – that the characters Marty McFly, Emmett "Doc" Brown and Jennifer Parker famously journeyed by the vehicle from 1985 to 2015 in the film trilogy's second installment in 1989. Unlike a trash-fueled DeLorean in the film, the car shown in the event was rebumped by its owner Michihiko Iwamoto, CEO of Japan Environmental Planning (JEPLAN) by using recycling technologies developed by his own company and actually runs on regular gas combined with several percent of bioethanol made from old clothes no longer worn.
