Harry really should learn to not take shortcuts through dark alleys.
When I first looked at this post, I thought this statement went with the pictures of Bob and indicated a Fall From Grace for Harry, instigated by yon cursed ghost. (And the song "Betrayed" started playing in my head.) And then I realised you meant what was happening to the car!
While I do fully think that Bob scares the crap out of Harry on a regular basis in the alleyway behind his building (Harry seems to cross the alley to come home, when he walks places and, let's face it, Bob can be an ass), I doubt Harry'd take revenge on Bob in any way beyond blaring bad disco music while the ghost is trying to "sleep." Bob, of course, I can see retaliating with opera. Loud opera. Boisterous opera. Sung intentionally off-key. >:3
Evil!Harry is interesting to think about, but I doubt I could ever write it. I simply have no knack for it, and-- more importantly --I like writing Harry as the good guy. I like READING about Harry as the good guy. Maybe a fuckup, sometimes, but still the good guy in the end. And because, if Harry's evil, it doesn't bode well for Bob. Ghosty's already had a shit existence, and Harry seems like the one bright spot in a long period of crap -- he doesn't need the disappointment of Harry going all Dark Side.

Harry & Bob: the Odd Couple! :D

I think he would be HORRIFIED if something he advised Harry to do ended with Harry going Dark Side. He likes the kid too much to want him to end up as a haunted skull.
This is pretty much how the TV show played it. That's one of the many reasons I loved it. :3

Harry would make a terrible skull-ghost -- he's too nice, for one. And tall. I doubt he'd fit in that itty, bitty skull. :3
It's not nearly as noticeable with the Jeep. Jeeps are, after all, rather tall cars on their own. And I don't think we ever get to see Harry getting out of the Beetle.
Star Trek boots are so totally awesome. I wish I had some. :3
Sadly, no -- the only time they show the Beetle is when it's up on the lift, and Harry is (presumably) driving the Jeep as a replacement. They nixed the Beetle when they realized shooting in a Bug is murder, and the actor would be very, very uncomfortable in a teeny!car.
Yayz! I was about to poke you cuz I thought mebbe school et you.
I love the pix! (I took a shortcut with a friend through a dark Chicago alley once and nearly bumped into Mr. Mann so... maybe not as dire as all that.)
I wish I could use that pic of Bob as a desktop background. :D
I'm sorry. I did miss you. School's important though.
Dark alleys and "Bob" are really very nice places to be, I must admit. Even if all I said was, "Omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg...!"
Er... I'm not sure? Where would I find such a thing to tell you? The pic I have set right now is 1280 x 1024 (A rainbow over the school I work at) and it seems to work alright.
