Harry, buy it you bastard! by Doctor_Sin	Feb 7th, 2007 09:55:11 AM
I live in Austin and would at least be able to see it on occasion as you would probably ride it to the Drafthouse. Harry - buy it for all of Austin to see!
Ghostbusters Video Game by poopville	Feb 7th, 2007 09:55:42 AM
I loved the crappy Commodore 64 Ghostbusters game back in '84 and like a lot of people would love to see a brand new game come out. The Zootfly rumors were cool but without having the rights, it was still nothing but rumor. Now it looks like there is some hope because Dan Ayckroyd himself has mentioned in a recent interview that he is going to be doing some motion capture for a Ghostbusters game next year... http://www.edmontonsun.com/Ent ertainment/Weekend/2007/02/02/ 3506287-sun.html
Only $149,998? by googamooga	Feb 7th, 2007 09:56:24 AM
Shoot, I'll take two!
ifr you were auto-savvy... by macgruder	Feb 7th, 2007 10:01:52 AM
you could make one for 1/3 the price. You wouldnt have the history behind the realone, but I cat justify spending this much on a car. You can buy a nice house down south for this much. Maybe Jay Leno will buy it and drive around town in it.
The guy who bought by David Lazarus Long	Feb 7th, 2007 10:02:18 AM
the tricked out Delorean off Ebay two years ago will probably buy this too. I just know it won't be me. Unless I steal it... Muwahahaha!! But seriously, how freakin' sweet would it be to have the Delorean AND the Ecto-1 in the same garage? Geekgasm.
If you were REALLY auto savvy.... by googamooga	Feb 7th, 2007 10:04:14 AM
You'd use the money to buy a better car, and forget about the Ecto-1. Hmmm, A TVR Sagaris goes for about $97,000, give or take a few thousand, and then you'd still have 40k left over to put down on a nice house.
BUY IT HARRY!!!!! Could you by Craig2574	Feb 7th, 2007 10:05:04 AM
BUY IT HARRY!!!!! Could you imagine the next but-numb-athon (Hopefully a harry who has started to lose weight and take care of himself) drives up to the draft house with saving the day blaring in the background. Harry gets out of his car with father geek, harry and harry's fiance all wearing tie-die waving to everyone there.

How can this possibly be real for "only" $150,000? Wouldn't the real deal go for hundreds of thousands more than that?

Rudy!!!! by Bill Brasky	Feb 7th, 2007 11:07:17 AM
www.joinrudy2008.com Name Contact: Rudy and the Republican Nomination New York, Feb 2 - To: Team Rudy From: Brent Seaborn, Strategy Director Date: February 2, 2007 Re: Rudy and the Republican Nomination Over the last month or two there has been a good deal of public opinion polling on the 2008 Republican primary race. I thought it would be helpful to take a step back and take a closer look at how voters – particularly Republican primary voters – feel about Rudy Giuliani and why we think we are well-positioned heading in to the primary season. Americans Have a Highly Favorable Opinion of Mayor Giuliani Entering the 2008 primary season, Rudy Giuliani is uniquely positioned among potential Republican candidates because of his extremely high favorability ratings. Recent public opinion polling shows Mayor Giuliani with 61% approval among adults across the country – according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll (Jan. 16-19, 2007). The well respected, bipartisan Battleground Poll (Jan 8-11, 2007) shows the Mayor with 65% favorability among likely voters. More importantly, Mayor Giuliani shows an 81% favorable rating among Republicans and only 10% with an unfavorable opinion. According to the Battleground poll, Mayor Giuliani also has surprisingly high favorability ratings beyond the base: 70% of independents are favorable, 70% of 35-44 year olds, 74% of married women, 73% of households married with children, 52% of minority voters The Mayor also enjoys strong approval among white evangelical Christians (76%) and self-described conservative Republicans (82%). In an even more recent poll, Gallup (Jan. 25-28, 2007) finds Mayor Giuliani also leads among Republicans on 7 of 10 key issues including terrorism, the economy, healthcare and fighting crime. He also leads on 11 of 15 key candidate attributes – including “better understands the problems faced by ordinary Americans”, “would manage government more effectively” and what I believe to be the single most important factor – “is the stronger leader.” In sum, while we fully expect these polls to tighten in the months and weeks to come, Republican voters genuinely know and like Rudy Giuliani. The Mayor Performs Well in Opinion Polls The Mayor’s exceptionally strong approval ratings also translate in to an advantage on Republican primary ballot tests. In 11 of 13 ballot tests in respected national public opinion polls [Fox News, Newsweek, Time Gallup, CNN, NBC/Wall Street Journal, ABC/Washington Post] since last November, Mayor Giuliani has a lead – in fact, his lead is on average, more than 5-points over the next closest candidate. And his ballot strength began to trend upward after the 2006 midterm elections. Mayor Giuliani Leads in Key 2008 Primary States Mayor Giuliani also leads in a series of other states that will likely prove critical in the 2008 Republican primary: State Mayor Giuliani Closest Competitor Source California 33% 19% (Gingrich) ARG - Jan. 11-17 Florida 30% 16% (Gingrich) ARG - Jan. 4-9 Illinois 33% 24% (McCain) ARG - Jan. 11-14 Michigan 34% 24% (McCain) ARG - Jan. 4-7 Nevada 31% 25% (McCain) ARG - Dec. 19-23, ‘06 New Jersey 39% 21% (McCain) Quinnipiac – Jan. 16-22 North Carolina 34% 26% (McCain) ARG - Jan. 11-15 Ohio 30% 22% (McCain) Quinnipiac - Jan. 23-28 Pennsylvania 35% 25% (McCain) ARG Jan. 4-8 Texas 28% 26% (McCain) Baselice Jan. 17-21 Conclusion Recent polling continues to suggest Mayor Giuliani is very well positioned within the party – particularly when compared to other potential Republican candidates – to win the nomination. Mayor Giuliani’s favorable public opinion stems not only from his extraordinary leadership in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks and in the uncertainty that followed, but also from a remarkably strong record of accomplishments in fighting crime and turning around New York City’s economy in the 1990’s. Americans are anxious for fresh Republican leadership on a range of issues. Our voters are drawn to the leadership strength of a candidate during an election. Therefore, as we move forward with exploring a run for President and as we continue to share the Mayor’s story of strong leadership and Reagan-like optimism and vision, we hope to see continued growth in our foundation of support.

With Harry's preferences of films, I would expect to see the Hummer from "The Rock" before seeing a real piece of cinematic history in the hands of AICN. Sorry, Merrick, to delete the hope. And hopefully, Michael Bay will stay as far away as possible from the animated Ghostbusters flick.
NOT ECTO-1 by harrycarayhere	Feb 7th, 2007 11:40:20 AM
This is not the Ecto-1, people. Ecto-1 is sitting on Sony's backlot collecting lots of rust. I'll direct you to pictures if you don't believe me. This is an over-priced, NOT EVEN FILM ACCURATE, let alone film used, REPLICA of the ecto-1. If the guy is trying to pass it off as the real car he is lying.
I'll jump into it too. by Gilkuliehe	Feb 7th, 2007 11:43:49 AM
BUY THIS FUCKING CAR, HARRY!!!!! The only car that's cooler than this is the car in that COOLEST FUCKING CAR IN THE WORLD: THE MOVIE. But since that hasn't been made yet, this one takes the number 1 spot. Go get it you big fat geek. I'll even click those Amazon links to help get the dough.

HARRCARRY IS RIGHT... THIS IS NOT THE ECHO-1 by moto	Feb 7th, 2007 11:58:05 AM
I've worked at Sony in development for nearly five years and any employee/guest can see the real Ecto-1 on the Sony backlot in the transportation department area (and sometimes next to the Capra building). It's often next to the Charlie's Angels race car. I have seen it on a regular basis. NOW, There were possibly two or three ectos for production... I have Sony contacts checking on that right now. Will get back to you.
I'm inclined to believe HarryCarry by Fecal Debris	Feb 7th, 2007 12:08:53 PM
There was a guy in Rocky River, Ohio who at last check owned the Ecto-1, or a good facsimile thereof. I know cuz I saw it in person there. My point is, this car (the one for sale) is probably another replica--one of many. I have no reason to doubt that the authentic car used in the films is "collecting rust" on a backlot.

There is definitely one in the Haynes Motor Museum in England (I've seen it). Is it just possible that they had more than one version of the car, in case one crashed, etc.? I think so. Save yer money.
I have pics of the REAL Ecto-1 - see links by MaxThrust	Feb 7th, 2007 12:16:12 PM
I saw the condition of the REAL Ecto-1 on the Columbia back lot not too long ago! And it was a total wreck and getting seriously rusted out! This has to be some kind of replica blow job that some people are hoping will kindle interest in a new Ghostbusters project.

From Wiki by David Lazarus Long	Feb 7th, 2007 02:19:13 PM
Three cars have played the vehicle in the movies, the third 1959 Miller-Meteor was purchased after the second died during shooting of Ghostbusters II. The black Miller-Meteor seen at the beginning of the first movie was leased and used only for that scene and never converted. Later this car was purchased by the studio and completely converted to a full Ecto-1 for touring. It now resides in a car museum in Volo, Illinois, and is for sale. Both (the other?) Ectomobiles are currently sitting in a Sony pictures studios backlot in a rapidly deteriorating condition, the Ecto 1a having served as an attraction at the Universal studios "Spooktackular" stage show.
Ray Gamma by MaxThrust	Feb 7th, 2007 02:26:51 PM
Dude... just use common sense and take out the space. How hard is that? As opposed to going nuclear and diving head first into the shallow end of the pool? It has nothing to do with what I was doing 'cuz I copied links without spaces, and they magically appeared when I posted them here.
The spaces by David Lazarus Long	Feb 7th, 2007 02:34:50 PM
have been popping up in every talkback by everyone. Pressing the 'backspace' key while the blinking vertical line is directly in front of the space can resolve that problem. And according to Wiki (which, as we all know, is never EVER wrong) the Ill. car is the one for sale. So if it didn't drive before, it should now. What I want is a working Ecto-2. Flying ghost catching motorcycle = way cooler than flames on Ghostrider. I don't know what that means either.
Another Ecto-1 Sighting by Sherman_Lives	Feb 7th, 2007 02:41:47 PM
Perhaps Sony's decided to do something about the "deteriorating condition" of at least one of their Ectos (Ectoi?). Driving on Ocean Park (West of Bundy) in Santa Monica there's this auto body shop that had a crappy-condition Ecto for the longest time. Then the other day I noticed it was in showroom shape again! (I'll post pics if so requested) I wonder if Sony's prepping these things for something special...but the one in Illinois is likely a replica. Probably won't even drive.
It's a FAKE Replica Car; not the real one!!! by martydmc12	Feb 7th, 2007 03:29:39 PM
This is not a Ghostbusters screen-used Ecto-1. A lot of cars that come from "The George Barris Collection" are replicas that he builds, yet Barris continues to try passing off his replicas as the real deal. He tried the same thing with the Back to the Future DeLorean a few years back, but it wasn't until producer Bob Gale shut him up about it. (Watch here: http://www.bttf.com/video/barr is.mov) DON'T TRUST ANY CARS THAT COME FROM GEORGE BARRIS THAT CLAIM TO BE THE REAL DEAL!!!

I dread another GB film, because it would be all "GB3: Busted AGAIN!" and co-star Snoop-Dogg or whatever (also doing the theme, "Who Ya Gonna Call: Them Digits on the Cell (2007 Style)?" Bill Murray would do a walk-on, phone in a performance, beg to be taken seriously, collect his check and leave the set. Dan Akroyd would crow about his O'Hare UFO footage, and Rick Moranis would channel The Great White North. Meanwhile, guest star Jessica Simpson gets drunk and blows the director.

CONFIRMED FROM SONY TRANSPO... FAKE by moto	Feb 7th, 2007 03:52:42 PM
Hey, update. Had a contact at Sony check this out. It is NOT the real Ecto-1. So this ad is 100% BS. But Sony Transpo said "hey, this one looks a hell of a lot better than the REAL Ecto". lol. Anyway, maybe three years back, the Ecto 1 (real one at sony) was given a slight makeover and then put back onto the backlot. This was right before the latest Ghostbusters DVD release if memory serves. Not sure if it was related to that or if Sony just wanted to have a look better for guests. Despite the makeover, it still looks a bit beat up... but cool as hell. I'd maybe pay half the price that ad is offering... if that. It does LOOK good, but it is NOT the legit Ecto.

The Bricklin was a cool 1970's gull-wing sportscar from Canada, and one also appeared in the movie "Demon Seed". I see one every blue moon in Santa Monica. The upside of getting a DeLorean is that they have Volvo engines, and can easily be serviced.
I could be wrong but my by CylonGod	Feb 8th, 2007 06:47:40 AM
I could be wrong but my understanding was always that there were two cars -- The First was the Primered beater that "Ray" finds and pulls up with The Second was the fully painted and loaded Ecto -1 Car Obviously because of filming they didn't stop and paint the car -they had the two separate cars. Then when the 2nd movie began they took the First car and made it the Ecto-1A with the Caution Stripping and the big tank on the back -- all the additions While the Second Car was just made to look dirty and rundown for the Opening sequence of Ghostbusters 2 I can say that there was a time recently when the Ecto-1A was at Universal Orlando .. it was THE car . Its since been hidden away somewhere and there are rumors of it being sold - as far as the Ecto-1 Its self I have no idea where it wound up - i know Universal has a fairly accurate replica they used to use in the shows - but that doesn't drive around the park anymore either. I dont know the history of this car - but just looking at it I didn't think this was one of the screen used cars.

...it really sad that they can let a icon like the Ecto-1 get into such a state (from the pic's). If they didn't care enough to protect it like it should be protected why not sell it to a fan??? Why do they let these cars fall into disrepair????? Frack, I will buy it and repair it to it's former glory. I will definitely be the only one in South Africa to drive around in a Ecto-1! Sweeeeeet!!!

Zootfly... by lynxpro	Feb 8th, 2007 03:09:58 PM
I wish Sony would have made them a deal to port what they were working on to be a PS3 exclusive. Unfortunately, it appears that Sony licensed the game rights already to Vivendi Universal's gaming division (stupid!). What a lack of foresight...just imagine what it would be like if the Zootfly game debuted on the PS3 (and PSP) at the same time the original Ghostbusters movies appeared on Blu-ray. As for the CGI based Ghostbusters sequel...they better hire JMS to write it. His work was great on the cartoon in his pre-Babylon5 days.

Ever been to a Sci-Fi or Comic Con? See them big-boobied, tattooed, multi-color hair, pierced chicks with voluptuous, child-bearing hips? The amazons with the Betty Page haircuts and anime t-shirts? Them and Goth Girls will give it up for a Ghostbuster. They will be slimed in that ride.

...and they said that the Ecto 1 will have completely oxidized back into the earth by about the same time you're watching Night of the Museum 3 next year.

I know someone who has a 8-track of the ghostbusters theme. Boggles the mind how he obtained that of all things.
