Eh, take a photo of yourselves posed against it, or insist the judges come outside to see. A Scooby Gang without the Mystery Machine is lacking something.
Cosplay really is all about the photo ops.
a remarkable resemblance to the original, but it’s different at the same time. for your efforts.. 10 Stars!
I cross-listed a bunch of photos of custom Mystery Machines that people built out of real vans along with pics from the original cartoon and … this is what I came up with. Though it doesn’t have roof racks. The original had roof racks.
Some guy down here where I live (SW Fla.) tricked out a van that way. Had his firm’s name but was otherwise the Mystery Machine. Gave me quite a start when it pulled up next to me in traffic.
That is awesome.
oh. did you like the rating i gave you for your efforts?
I didn’t know stars went that high.
Ya gotta drive to, and drive up to, this building.
And now they can do it in style!
Ah, I just realized, I’d most likely be gender bent Velma.
Or Shaggy, depending on how much rum I’d had that day.
I mean, a fifth in two hours will render me completely Shaggy, complete with the munchies. Or I guess any amount of modern reefer madness, of which I do not partake (though it might help??? Also reduce consumption of rum?) because of work.
On a different note;
My dad had a van, that was not blue in base color, that he referred to as the mystery machine until recently, when his “girlfriend” traded it in for a much newer Kia. It was pretty close, albeit mid eighties rather that 1969.
Vans remained pretty unchanged in design over the decades, so close enough. I love vans. Real, full-size vans. Stuff of legend.
Baldie, my human pet, had a truly awesome van.
Brand New 1978, Jet Black Chevy, with Chromed Bumpers and trim.
He installed Windows that flipped open, with Screens. And one-way Mirror Glass.
Padded Shag Carpet and Bean Bag Chairs completed “The Love Machine”.
And Air Conditioning, of course.
Goood Times.
That sounds awesome. In a mildly terrifying way.
@Miles
My human pet, “Baldie”, just purchased a 2018 very low mileage Nissan Leaf ELECTRIC VEHICLE.
He is pretty sure that whether it is Global Warming, the Ozone Hole, or Acid Rain, he has done already done his part ten times over to exterminate all life on Earth forever.
So he is under no illusion that an EV will save the palnet.
But will it end the decades-long plague of Internal Combustion Engines dripping their Oil, Grease, and Coolant onto his driveway.
Let alone the Timing Belts, Spark Plugs, Serpentine Belts, Water Pumps, Radiators, Watson Levers, and truly endless issues Gasoline Engines rip at our psyches and wallets with.
Shady Mechanics will soon be forced to imagine new, imaginary conditions, to cheat the sheep.
(yes, I do realize most mechanics are skilled and honest. or at worst, make human mistakes. but there are people of every profession that are ruthless)
You are one of the brave. I applaud your initiative.
It’s not about having the van. It’s the confidence knowing you and the gang drove to the convention in THE Mystery Machine (ok, a replica.. but confidence doesn’t dwell on the particulars for long or it vanishes).
And let that vibe carry though to the contest.
Or.. do something horrible and put that sucker through the building. (I feel bad for Cy just thinking about it).
But I think you’re only allowed to do that at Blues Brothers conventions.
Well, the van isn’t Cy’s. He just knew a guy. And I’m assuming there’s a rental fee. And I’m also assuming that Colin may be on the hook for whatever damage he might do. So if it goes through a building, it’s probably poor Colin.
I assume Cy is the kind of guy who has a guy with guys.
Wait, what, damage?
Well, still bad. I meant Cy was the go-between and this hurts his rep.
Plus I think he’d still be a bit stunned at the damage. A wrecked Mystery Machine replica doesn’t strike me as a pretty sight for a fan.
Nice one, Colin. And since I don’t get the impression that you and Puck have much expendable income – unless somehow Phoebe has a trust fund Tracee doesn’t know about – then you’ve just gone and set Miranda’s college fund back to zero, all for the sake of a custom Mystery Machine paint job.
Well, it’s just a rental. But still. Money that didn’t need to really be spent.
I mean, no, it won’t help them win the contest, but acquiring an actual Mystery Machine is pretty awesome. How jaded are these ladies?
Answer: very jaded. 100% jade.
“Jade” and “jaded” seem to be one of those things where two words of very different origins and meanings collide.
“Jade” = a lovely + valuable stone; hence a lovely and desirable person; from French+Latin.
“Jade” = a tired, broken down horse; hence, a world-weary person impressed by nothing; from who knows?
Stuff like this should make me want to get an OED subscription, but I’m too jaded.
I like your shade of jade.
@rewinn
Many “Jades”, or at least “Ades”, refer to sweetly tart beverages.
Limeade, Lemonade, (there must be more).
I’m betting “J-Ade” would be delightful.
J-Lo is mighty delightful.
I would gladly be her aide!
People go to parking lots. They cam be cool.
Even if Puck is unimpressed, I am. I don’t know that I’d want it, but I’m impressed.
I am too, honestly.
Didn’t Colin read the flyer he brought home?
He knew it was inside. His temporary enthusiasm for the vehicle just made him forget, I suspect.
I’ve gotta admit, Colin cleans up decently. Puck’s going to regret his clean shaven look as soon as other women start making passes at him.
Enh, he’s too goofy and confused to have such things happen. No women will be flocking to this.
And what would the poor woman have to do to get him to notice?
Wear a Transformers shirt?
Maybe I don’t get Collin. I’ve never seen him with temptation. This could be interesting.
By the way, I take it Colin has worked out his problem working stick. Unless the Mystery Machine comes with a chauffer.
On some level, perhaps? But maybe not well.
I had a housemate once who ran her 3-speed in 2nd gear. All. The. Time.
Shifting made her nervous.
See? There’s a way to get there. Not good for the vehicle, but … it can be done.
not good for fuel mileage, either.
