My own Ectomobile: the Ecto-84!

[JediMichael]

Ok, so, the Ecto-84 had a very busy weekend! On Saturday, my girlfriend and I did two local Trunk or Treat events. We got to meet a lot of awesome families and give out loads of candy. Before going to our first event, we also got to meet a young man who was so excited "the Ghostbusters are real!" and he wanted to know how old he'd have to be to become one. He was a few years away. Lol

On Sunday, we were in a local parade and had about 1500 people marching behind us to the sound of the Ecto-84's siren. Afterwards, was a Halloween costume contest with lots of terrific looking costumes.

Yesterday, I made a little display at my girlfriend's parents and we handed out more candy. From time to time, I drove around the neighborhood with the lights and siren going. I'm sure the HOA loved me last night.

Thats totally awesome.
With the lights, being like cop lights, do you just have to be careful where you are at to not get any type tickets?
I'm sure police would understand last night, but you knownl some cops might be like, your imitating a cop, heres a ticket.

Last night I did a trunk or treat themed to the Battle of Hoth. Pics are in the Halloween thread.
On my way home, was blasting the Ghostbusters II theme, as its different enough to throw people off a little.
Sounded pretty good with 12" subs in the trunk.
Fun night for sure.

I don't typically drive with the lights on at all. They're all magnetic. The light bars are powered through the car's 12V outlets and the small strobes are all individually powered through rechargable batteries.

I think my girlfriend has more trunk or treat pictures, I'll have to post them in the thread!

Ha! Thank you! It was a blast doing that. I couldn't believe the number of people who came along for the ride with us. Just such a fun, positive thing!
