This is all wrong. Nothing can ever replace the original Ecto 1. They should have at least used something with more cargo space like a Ford Freestyle/Taurus X. How the heck do you fit your proton packs and the rest of your equipment like traps in that thing???

I spoke up on behalf of the obviously lame and fake Fiero-Enzo yesterday, but one is SO lame and SO wussy and SO poorly executed that it makes even ME vomit.

No, he's got a fleet of Escalades apparently. Close though.

I like this Subaru better than the Prius someone in New Jersey dressed up to look like an NCC-1701 shuttle craft. Sorry, I don't have photos. Only hearsay because I do not attend Trek conventions.

I posted this car on the ecto-1 forum a couple of weeks ago. It's in Fort Collins, CO & I see this guy around town all the time. All the information in this post was in my post on the ecto-1 forum.

And yeah, the Zimmer has been covered several times here on Jalopnik. Thanks for your submission, though.

@iamjames:

That's a Zimmer; they're made up in New York. The original late 70's one, the Excalibur(Which actually predated the founding of Zimmer) was kind of cool. But since then, it's been a pretty quick downhill slide.

Art Zimmer: A man of ludicrously bad taste.

Pretty sure I could shag Annie Potts (circa 1984) in the back of that Subaru. Well, once we take out the Lesbomatic Dog Divider Cage.

Sigourney is all leg. Annie is all sass.

OK ENOUGH OF SUBARUS ALREADY! After the Sponsored by SUbaru all over your blog a couple of weeks ago, I'm gettin suspicious. So suspicious in fact that I am contemplating resigning. I didn't even read your 'tests' because I thought they would be all glowing. ENOUGH!

@iamjames: Sometimes they sit on stuff for a while, sometimes it disappears into the mists of time. I've had 2 (3?) tips posted over the last couple of months, and a couple more that are still sitting in a file somewhere waiting for the right time to surface and/or deemed too uncool to post.

There are alot of clones out there but only three originals. one from each movie and the one from Universal Studios in Florida. The one from Florida was there for 15 years and is now in TN. No not the one in Gatlinburg,TN. It is a clone from a few years back. To check out the third car go to [theecto1.com]
