Well, it does if you're 33-year-old Montreal machinist and artist Simon Laprise of L.S.D. Laprise Simon Designs. A resident of the borough Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Laprise spent his Sunday afternoon molding the recently fallen snow into a DeLorean DMC-12, as made famous by the movie Back to the Future.
Laprise's finishing touch was masterfully placing a reject windshield wiper on the car's faux windshield, as if it were the only part of the car left exposed. Laprise found the lone wiper blade across the street while sculpting his creation. The solid snow jalopy took around 4 hours to create from start to finish.

After finishing, the police drove by to check the snow removal zones around 1 Monday morning when they came across the snowy vehicle. The interaction resulted in an amazing photo of a lone officer, staring suspiciously at the mound, ticket book in hand.
Amused by the false DeLorean, the officers left Laprise's car with a ticket under its single wiper, reading, "You made our night!! Hahahahaha :)". The car was demolished by snow removal crews later on Monday morning, according to Global News.
"I'm surprised the interest [the car] arouses," Laprise told Radio Canada before admitting this wasn't the first time he had made a car out of snow.
Five others have been molded in Laprise's car-sculpting past, and it the artist claims that this one won't be his last.
"I intend to continue doing so," Laprise said. "It's fun, it's free and [the snow] keeps its form."
That was great!
That’s funny.
Though the artist is lucky that this didn’t happen in the US. He’d have been Swatted for something, and likely his dog and anyone else at home would’ve been shot.
I know what else that triggers people, the sound and sight of a drone.
A person could record the sounds of a large drone and use it as a property deterrent. Even at night.
Too bad he didn’t call a tow truck.
It's well know the DeLorean does ice up after time travel.
Ha ha
Didn’t notice it was Canada. That is so creative.. LOL!!!
It’s best not to make fun of Montreal’s’ Tonton Macoute
I think it’s a great story ... but the cops never cruised by while he was building it ??
Snow pranks are fun. Growing up, we’d build a snowman in the yard, the teenagers would drive their cars up on the yard and knock it down. So we built a snowman around a fireplug ... :-)
We had fun that day.
