What's your favorite Mystery Machine?

[freddaphne29758]

My First thread, I'm so excited guys!

I know everyone loves the Classic Mystery Machine because it's something we have grown up with but there has been more than one variation of the Mystery Machine and I want to know if they have to chose a favorite beside the Classic Mystery Machine what would you:

1. 80's Mystery Machine(13 ghosts, Boo Brothers, Reluctant Werewolf , etc)



2. 2000 dtvs(Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost, Alien Invaders, etc)




3.Shaggy and Scooby-Doo get a clue


4. 2002/2004 Live action Movies





5. Pup named Scooby-Doo Mystery Skateboard



6. Mystery Begins/Curse of the Lake Monster
:




By the way you can also post in the order of the Mystery Machine from best to worst and if you want explain why if you chose this option.

example:

(Best)1. TV Movies.



Because it Incorporated the best aspect of the classic Mystery Machine( the color and flower scheme and the green hubcap/spare tire with the orange flower on the front of the car) as well as the more modern Mystery Machines such as the 2000 Cartoon DVD and 2002/2004 movies(it's a more modern van) and to me makes a perfect interpretation of what the Mystery Machine would look like in real life in 2012

2. 2000 DTV.



Another perfect attempt at showing what the Mystery Machine would be like in the 21st century/Making it a News Van and at the same time keeping the original 60 aspects like the flower scheme and colors

3. 2002/2004 Live Action Movies



Although I have a lot of gripes with the first 2 live action movie but the Mystery Machine was decent but didn't feel like the Mystery Machine to me in the end

4.Mystery Skateboard.



I like the concept but hated it at the same time. all of them riding a skateboard with an engine. some ideas are to cartoony

5.Get A Clue.


Even though I hated the idea of a high tech Mystery Machine but it at least try to look like the Mystery Machine so I have to give it some respects

(Worst) 6.80s.



It was only Mystery Machine in name only but otherwise it was a lame 80s van.

or you can choose another Mystery Machine choose anything else besides the classic Mystery Machine(seen in 60-70, Mystery Incorparted, What's new early-late 2000 dtv(Abracadabra-Doo, Camp Scare, Legend of the Phantosaur ), etc) but show a picture of what Mystery Machine you're talking about and why. Can be real life attempts Mystery Machine if you want.):

I liked the 2000 DTV Mystery Machine.

Mystery Inc's Mystery machine.

[freddaphne29758]

okay I wanted to add ONE CHOICE. The Mystery Machine in the old Scooby-Doo Project(from the old Blair Witch Parody during the Scooby-Doo marathons)



Cartoons that featured the classic Mystery Machine can not be voted for and does not count that includes:
Where Are You
New Scooby movies
Mystery Incorparted
What's New Scooby-Doo
The straight to video cartoons from 2003-2012(Abracadabra-Doo, Camp Scare, Legend of the Phantosaur,the Monster of Mexico,The Legend of the Vampire, etc )

what can be counted are real life attempts at the Mystery Machine:

Good job making the thread and cool pics freddaphne29758!

I didn't think the 80s vehicles would be Mystery Machines.

Don't forget all the 'special fit' versions with computers, RDF gear etc.

Thanks for the compliment LaeScoobyfan, but unfortunately that's what they called the vehicle in 80's even though nothing about it feels like the mystery machine but someone might be a fan of it so it's only fair to post everyone (besides the classic mystery machine) favorite Mystery Machine.

Unfortunately for some of the special fit Mystery Machine(What's New Scooby-doo and SDMI are prime examples) since they have the classic Mystery Machine look on the outside even though it's different on the inside so it does not count and thus cannot be voted for. However I can allow a few exceptions like the "Mustard Machine" from the recent cartoon movie because it's funny.

[laescoobyfan]

I guess I have to say the one from The Scooby-Doo Project, since it is the closest to the normal. The 1998-2001 style is second for me, but the 2002/2004 live-action version is a close third. I don't have anything against that red van though. I just don't consider it to be the Mystery Machine. I don't like the Get A Clue or Mystery Begins/Lake Monster ones.

Who called that red van the Mystery Machine and when?

[freddaphne29758]

Actually I remember Shaggy and Daphne referring to the red van a few times in the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo which disappointed me greatly.

Yeah I was shocked when they called that van the Mystery Machine too but it has been a while though

Does anyone remember when a reporter during one of the Scooby-Doo project commercials referred to the Mystery Machine as the Groovy Van. I was surprised she could make a mistake like that when the name is on the side of the van but I was laughing hard at the same time.

Yea, I remember that. She said "(the) gang's abandoned 'Groovy Van' was found days ago beside a dirt road..." with emphasis on "Groovy Van", so it was like she was saying that as the official name.

That always had me rolling my eyes and giggling but I was wondering how the writers made a mistake like that.

[laescoobyfan]

I think it was on purpose and was suppose to be funny. I think it was the reporter's mistake, not the writers'.
