An interesting question. It'd be fun to bring a car back to the middle ages but after the tank of gas ran out, it'd be a dead weight (unless you know how to refine oil). Likewise a TV/DVD or computer without electricity.

Now bringing a modern car back to the early 20th Century would be interesting. I don't know that any improvements would be possible; would tools exist to reverse engineer it (circuit boards)?

I guess I'll go the route of Ashton but with a bit of "Back to the Future" and bring back a sports almanac.

Oh! If it's a short trip back in time, I'll bring some gold, turn it into cash and put it in an interest-bearing account for when I get back to my time. (each $1,000 will become over $130,000 at 5% over 100 years, over a million dollars over 150 years.)

When do we go?!?
