Don't kill me, but as a Ghostbusters and Hearse fan (they can coexist). It's a double edged sword. Yes, they are defiling some of these beautiful old cars. I wouldn't personally do something like that (Not that the thought hasn't crossed my mind)
As I have stated before, I intend on going normal for my coach as I would like to be able to drive it around on more than just Halloween and it can look very cool just as it was originally intended.
However, the current color scheme that Art had the car painted, allows me to have a little bit of fun in the meantime. I have magnets that come on and off easily (not that it matters much as the paint is shot anyway). And I occasionally put them on and drive around.
I can tell you from first hand experience that in normal mode... you get a lot of jeers, and the occasional thumbs up from the really cool people. With the magnets on, it's like night and day. It's like I am driving my own parade with the cheers and thumbs ups and "Hey Ghostbusters" and people get a kick out of it. I can understand when you're not going for the Ghostbusters thing and people say it, it can be annoying.
While I won't finish my car like that, I can (to a degree) understand why people do.
I know it's fun to bash the ghostheads, but just offering my perspective.
