Hey guys,
I just got back from my visit to California. It was another amazing trip with plenty of stories to tell but I won't go into that level of detail because it would take way too long. Let's get on with the Ghostbusters stuff!
When I arrived at the airport three of my four travel buddies were there waiting for me:
Yes, the shirts were a surprise (that's me in the apple in case you hadn't figured it out). We had a pretty low-key day to get the trip started (we were all exhausted from the long flights).
Day #2 of our trip started with a special visit to a very special place (I can't say more sadly). We then headed to the Sony Backlot Tour to see the actual movie car. Well, the care is starting to show its age again. There are so many things I would love to do to get this car back to what it once was.
It drives me insane seeing the sniffer facing backwards, the radome (the elevated white piece with the red stripes) mounted backwards, and the coaster siren not even mounted to the roof rack (you can't see that in this picture but trust me it's disappointing). Still, she is beautiful and always will be...
We also stopped in to visit Ghost Corps, Ivan Reitman's project group within Sony Pictures. They have something cool hanging on the wall:
That is a real terror dog head from the production of the movie.
The following day we visited MY car in Lake Elsinore, and she did not disappoint:
And when you lift the hood:
Check out the fully installed rear curved windows:
Simply amazing! Now here's a look at what's inside:
Now a look up front:
The dash lights work!
She is such a stunner! MAN, I LOVE MY CAR!!!
Sadly, we had to head back to Los Angeles and I had to once again say goodbye to my baby. Still it shouldn't be long before we are reunited on the east coast! As a special treat, here are some photos from our drive back along Route 74 (it's an amazing drive!):
...and an amazing view from the Griffith Observatory (which we visited the next day):
Until next time, take care!
