As pleased as I am with your reactions, I simply cannot abide by the notion that a Dodge Magnum is more "stylish" than a 1959 Miller.... *crossarms*

Re: Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Magnum
Interesting story that needs a little setup.
We all instantly recognize the Ghostbusters firehouse, which is actually Ladder 8 of the New York Fire Department in Tribeca, Lower Manhattan. What you might not know is that the interior you see on screen is actually a completely different building in Los Angeles, CA. Ladder 23 in the Toy District of downtown LA has been used in many films over the years, the interior in Ghostbusters, The Mask, Police Academy, Flatliners, and dozens of others.
Last week my buddies and I got together for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter and explore this abandoned building.
There's a man who actually lives inside the building, part caretaker, part squatter. We arranged the tour with him, but when we arrived he was a no-show for over an hour. Finally we crawled through the fence, banged on the door, and blasted the Ectos siren for a few minutes and got his attention.
Backing in, the 2k is the first Ecto to roll into the bay since 1989!
We explored every inch, with a large number of us documenting the buildings layout for the massive replica prop archive on one of our sites. We even got to try out the fire poles!
My buddy Vinny....
****ING LASER CONTAINMENT GRIDS, HOW DO THEY WORK?
With a brief stop just down the road at the Biltmore Hotel.

Incredible! Did the caretaker charge you to look around Ladder 23, or is he actually open to showing people around and no one thinks to ask?
