Somethin' Strange in PAX's Neighborhood...

As if I could not be more disappointed that I had to cancel going to the Penny Arcade Expo 2008 nerdstravaganza this August, I just found out something that makes my heart sink into my sandals.

The newly-refurbished, original Ecto-1 from the movie Ghostbusters is going to be visiting PAX'08 this year!

    I felt it deserved it's own topic, not just a reply on the games thread. This car is something I'd use up a hypothetical genie wish on.

    You wasted a wish on Ecto-1 and not a Proton Pack? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

    This car has been sighted in various places lately.

    http://flickr.com/photos/99305147@N00/2419072439/

    Here are the 277 photos that were taken at the car's first stop "in Minnesota at the Best Buy Headquarters for an executive meeting with the higher ups."

    I am excited as hell to see it in person.

    STEAL it??? Sir, you MUST be joking...to steal the ECTO-1 would be paramount crime against humanity!

    *quickly stuffs theft plans down nearest shredder*

    As I was saying...:P

    NOW how many people do you think're gonna show up in Ghostbuster gear, packs'n all, eh? 8-)

    I would try to steal it but only if I can perfect my Flux Capacitor design so that I can put it in the Ecto-1

    but... their out of stock, and I also need to get my hands on some plutonium, or a Mr. Fusion. Preferably the Mr. Fusion since it's the greener option.

    OMG, I think it comes with people!

    EDIT: Well there was a photo in this spot before, but the site the photo came from became unhappy. So instead of the photo, here's a description: "Shmucks dressed up in coveralls standing in front of ecto-1."

    Wait... who cares about those shmucks!
