Ethan made it out of repurposed materials and some unique orders from Amazon. 

"Right now there's a lot of negativity in the world so it's nice that instead of facilitating that, I have something that does the opposite, that brings people together," Tripp said. 

The Ectomobile is Tripp's everyday car, but he also drives it in parades and special events.
