    Yeah, these dudes are just having fun with cars. No problem with that. Except for the guy who things the Ecto-1 is a Dodge Magnum. He is a dork.

    Don't see why so many are giving these guys a hard time. They're having fun. Most people tend to like their vehicle getting noticed, people smiling, and generally having a good time.
    My wife has a lifted Jeep Liberty that she takes off road pretty much every chance she gets. She loves it when people check it out.
    My stupid $250 beater Astro (poop brown window van) sports a poorly done A-Team van stripe. People are always tell me how cool it is, young ladies slow down to take a closer look and wave. It's just a stupid stripe, but it's fun. Can't wait to break out the paint rollers and do it up proper.

    According to the Oxford dictionary, "dork" is a slang term for a whale's male genitalia. That explains why the Magnum looks so pleased with itself.

    Proof that the the Ghostbusters Magnum is beyond stupid:
    1) Building our own movie car replica = dweeby.
    2) Using the wrong car for a movie car replica = lame.
    3) An Ecto-1 that's not based on the iconic 1959 Cadillac Ambulance = pointless
    4) Making a Magnum look silly = cruel.
    Dweeby = .5 stupid
    Lame = 1.75 stupid
    Pointless = 1.2 stupid
    Cruel = 1.0 stupid.
    0.5 x 1.75 x 1.2 x 1.0 = 1.05
    1.05 > 1.0
    There you go, beyond stupid.

    All together now: "One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong..."

    I really don't want to be snarky, because it takes a fair amount of fanboy love and dedication - however arguably misplaced - to clone a movie car. But a Dodge Magnum Ecto-1, really? I get that a '59 Miller-Meteor is unobtanium these days, but if you're a true fan of a show, you should realize some things are just better left alone. Otherwise why not use an Aerostar or AMC Eagle. Or a Pruis or hell even my Freestyle.

    I am reminded of Tyler Durden: "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."

    @Tanshanomi: I caused a minor stir with my geek friends at work with the following question:
    "In 1984, the car Ray Stanz found for the Ghostbusters had just turned 25. So, pretend it's not happening until now, 2009: You have to find a 25-year-old functional beater to use. What car from 1984 would work?"
    We never realized how *brilliant* the Ecto-1 is, and how wretched the cars of 1984 were, until trying to answer this question. AMC eagle was arguably the best choice. Ford Aerostar would have one the "2010 (to 1985) edition". Try it. There really is no substitute.

    @Flathead Smith: It's not all that surprising.

    It's no secret that the job market has taken a massive hit these past few years. And who are the most likely to lose their jobs? Women. Because like it or not, we live in a very sexist society that places little emphasis on your work or your ability to positively contribute to the world if you don't have male genitalia. It doesn't matter if that douchebag with male genitalia is an abject moron that does not know his thumb from his male genitalia. The simple fact is that he has male genitalia. The result? A lot of brilliant and capable women were robbed of their jobs, and have been forced to find other means of supporting themselves. Even if that means temporarily dating a dork that actually has a job that pays well enough for him to afford to recreate a dorkmobile to tool around with on weekends.

    Poor women. They always get the poop end of the deal.

    So Ecto-1 gets yet another makeover and they kicked Doc Brown out of the primary lineup for the Duke boys. I'm actually pleased to see that the DeLorean got some add-on external cables to start getting that classic '80's time machine look.
