an idea on a new ecto

I had a buddy of mine have his 55’ hdtv go out on him. so he bought a new one and was going to throw the old one away. so i took it to see if i could fix it. turns out that only a couple of capacitors blew and i got all 4 of them for like 5 bucks, so in a sence i got an hdtv for 5 bucks. funny how it works. on a side note i have never have gotten enough audacity to tell him how much i fixed it for.

smaller monitors probably would work out better. I was just thinking what i had on hand to use.

I have to believe that anyone with the capability to make this idea into a non-horrible reality would stop themselves and put the time/money/effort into something actually cool.

ok then whats your deffinition of cool then?

I’m just saying, there are better ways to spend $20,000…

that has what do with ectomobiles? I fail to see the connection

anyway it is my money to spend.

How bout these…

Your idea wouldnt be as bad if you were part of a group that had several GB cars…a “fleet” if you will, but alone it’s just…dumb.

But is IS your money so if you wanna spend $20,000 on 6 tons of ■■■■, go right ahead, it’s good for the economy.

those are sweet! i admit that

I’m gonna flatout say it.

This idea is awful.

If I’m making a Ghostbusters truck, it will be one that allows me to do this with the Magnum.

You can do that with a U-Haul!!!

why? what is so horrible about my idea? i seriously made this thread to get opions on why or why not to consider this project. I admit sometimes somethings sound cool in theory but arnt practicle. I just am tired of members saying that its a bad idea without giving feedback as to why.

I toss that question right back at you. Why would it be a good idea? What is the motive, the purpose behind the creation of such a vehicle?

Also: ONLY ONE PROBLEM CHACE

That’s why you need switches :wink:

I think we all know, deep down in our hearts, that no matter what the original intention was, an Ecto command unit would come out looking like this.

Yep…a bad design and bad idea that will probably be executed badly.

excuse me. i need to fix what i said earlier.

that looks like its reasonable enough to maneuver sharp corners at high speeds and a 55" hdtv should be in every ecto with no regard to its actual purpose. you need a hammock next to your comuter desk. then you have it all.

thats practicle feedback.

here’s some more

have fun playing in the back of a uhaul.

This is not a good idea. I’m agreeing with you again boomer! Holy Shrapnel!

The purpose of ecto fan vehicles are to get the same response the ghostbusters would have gotten when they pulled up to an event. Noone at your events is going to care that you have a box truck with a 55" tv inside it. I want to put a HDTV in my ecto, but for the same reasons as most people do it.. not because it would serve a “ghostbusting” purpose.. But to entertain people who might be riding back there for long periods of time. I know you don’t want to do what everyone else is doing, but I think you’d be smart to just find a decent car to build on, and make a traditional custom ecto, like both Chace and Boomer have done. The idea here is to get attention from people at car shows and events you might attend. Noone actually “busts” anything, so trying to make a FBI ghostbusters truck is not going to be met with much praise.
