DeLorean Driver Gets The Best Speeding Ticket Ever

<div><p>Normally getting a speeding ticket is a bad thing, but a Santa Clarita DeLorean owner is actually pretty excited about the ticket he got this week. </p><div><figure><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/back-to-the-future-zZeCRfPyXi9UI" target="_blank"><amp-anim src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/06/giphy.gif" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-anim></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/back-to-the-future-zZeCRfPyXi9UI" target="_blank">Giphy</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><p></p><div align="center" data-freestar-ad="__336x280 __789x280" id="throwbacks_articles_incontent _1"> </div><p></p><p>Spencer White was driving on the 14 Freeway with his mother, when they realized they were going 85 miles per hour.

Of course, that was the exact moment White realized there was a cop car right behind him.

While he thought the hilarity of the situation would get the officer to let him off with a warning, White wasn't so lucky. What he got instead was a $400 speeding ticket. Fortunately, White didn't seem too bothered, describing it as "the dream ticket." </p><p>Too bad his DeLorean didn't have a flux capacitor, otherwise he might have been able to escape. </p><p>h/t: <a href="http://ktla.com/2017/05/29/delorean-driver-gets-pulled-over-for-driving-88-mph-exact-speed-in-back-to-the-future/" target="_blank">KTLA5</a></p><amp-iframe sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin" layout="responsive" frameborder="0" height="9" width="16" src="https://player.ooyala.com/static/v4/candidate/latest/skin-plugin/iframe.html?ec=xsaDJlYjE6IiPgkMvkZOyT3vsvppNVYH&amp;pbid=f987944e2b8d47c5ad7da7977780b8bd&amp;pcode=9vOTQyOvfOKTDwM65FXm0S1biBeX"></amp-iframe><p></p></div>

A Behind-The-Scenes Look At The New Aladdin Is Here And At Least One Of Our Wishes Was Granted

We've been waiting patiently, okay mostly patiently, since Disney announced that Aladdin was being remade. The cartoon remains one of the most iconic movies of all time, and the fact that they were going to try and bring it to life with real humans instead of the animated versions was kind of concerning. We saw the first trailer a while ago, but the only character we actually saw up close was Aladdin himself. We didn't see how the Genie looked, or Jasmine, or any of the other characters. But now, Entertainment Weekly has given us all the first look at

Tim Allen Reveals The Original Plan For 'The Santa Clause' Was Way Too Dark For Disney

We've all seen The Santa Clause at least a dozen times, right? It's a Christmas classic and ever since it was released, it has become a staple in our holiday movie schedule. There's something about the movie that manages to keep that Christmas feeling without being way too over the top or corny. I mean, sure, Tim Allen literally becomes Santa, but somehow it all feels like that's totally plausible. The sequels may not have the same realistic feeling, but the original remains iconic. However, Allen just revealed that the original plan for the movie was a lot darker than
