While walking into the convention center earlier this morning to kick off our E3 coverage in earnest, we spotted what appeared to be the Peter Venkman kartin', ghost bustin' beast that is the Ecto-1. Unable to contain our rose-colored joy, we snapped a handful of pics to show you, dereast reader. Do yourself a favor and give 'em a peek, but don't freak out too much -- we've already done plenty of that for you.

its been a long day.

Ask if you could drive it or at least get inside the car.

isn't that usually not all dressed up sitting outside an auto repair place in santa monica?

Aside from the quick shot of nostalgia, is anyone really pumped about the new Ghostbusters games? I was slightly excited when those non-official screens leaked out a year or so ago, but now it just doesn't seem to be doin' it for me.

Nah You just don't have a soul that's all.J/K.

I actually want to play it but is hard to get hyped about a multiplatform game I mean after all without a demo who knows if its going to all that good.

The car is there... too bad the game isn't. Way to go, Atari! :P

Cool, I remember reading a few years ago that ecto-1 was sitting out on the Sony lot somewhere rotting away.

and I'm still very excited for the Ghostbusters game.

You guys will love this one. So I'm walking back from a party in Boulder, CO. While standing at a corner waiting for my friend, I see a subaru forrester paint exactly like that with the sirens, decals, and everything. The guys driving it have the uniforms on and I could see proton packs in the back. I found out apprently it's some sort of hazing for a frat the guys have to act and be the ghostbusters for like a month. Never figured out which one though.

Here's a link to see what it looked like: http://www.automopedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/ghostbuster-tribute21.JPG
