You sir, are all that is right with the world. Also, I'm pretty sure you can afford to retire on the income you'd make driving people around in those. I know I'd pay for the privilege.

ALL SCENES WITH GAS-POWERED JEEPS -main characters arrive on the island and are picked up at the helipad by jeeps #18 and #29 -main characters see first dinosaur, climb out of jeeps, throw up -main characters dropped off by jeeps in front of main lodge -Dennis Nedry steals embryos and uses jeep #12 to get into the park when he shuts off the power. He crashed the jeep, tries to winch himself down a hill, and is eaten by a dilophosaurus -Muldoon and Satler arrive in jeep #10 at the T-rex paddock after the rex attack, find Malcolm, find trashed Explorers, get chased by t-rex. -Hammond pulls up to the main lodge in jeep #10 and drives survivors to the helipad. edit: NESguerilla posted:I would love to see these in person sometime.

That has to be the coolest jeep ever. How much do you plan to sell that thing for? If I wasn't a poor college student I'd buy that thing in a second.

Nocheez posted:You're thinking of the Explorers, which were electrical and tied to a track that ran around the park. The Jeeps were the gas-powered vehicles, used at the beginning (READ THE ENTIRE OP!) and to escape from the T-Rex after Malcolm was injured. I thought I had read it. I just really don't remember any vehicles looking like that, even after everyone's told me. Guess it's been too long since I saw this film.

Holy crap. I saw your Jeep when I went to the King Soopers on College Ave last night and had to do a double take. I was going to swing by and take a closer look but you were gone before I was done shopping. One of my childhood dreams was to buy an Explorer and make it up like the one from the movie. I'd be sure to have the glass top and everything. Your Jeep is awesome though.

You're living one of my childhood dreams with this thing. It's truly an awesome job. What do you plan to do with it when the show is over? Keep it hidden away under a tarp to prevent damage, or drive it around?

mazachan posted:Was the ecto car actually fairly simple to do? It was interesting trying to figure out how to modify it in such a way that nothing was permanent. It had to be very very sturdy and safe at high-ish speeds, but light enough to remove it easily. Originally it was just for Halloween and then we were going to take it apart and I'd sell the car, but when we rolled it out people when nuts, so I kept it that way. Waffnuffly posted:What do you plan to do with it when the show is over? Well, considering how winter in Colorado started last week... Right now it's my daily driver. I plan on touring Colorado in late September to see 'the colors,' visit my folks, and give it a last big trip before it gets too cold to drive without a soft-top. I'd love to take it up and down the PCH sometime mid-winter. Boomerjinks fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Sep 14, 2007 |

On a serious note...ever considered offering your services as an on-the-side job? I'm pretty sure you could get a job or two a year, making movie-cars for people. If I had the money, I'd pay to get one.

He's into the goth and cyberpunk culture, and he's been putting machine guns and flamethrowers on his hearses for years.  He's pretty awesome.
