Ha, we all need this.
Of course, we'd need to sell a machine or two to fill the tank, and is somewhat a complete disregard to the environment!

Since no pinball machine can fit in my 2-door Accord, I installed a hitch on it and I usually borrow Giuseppe's trailer...or my dad's truck (Silverado full-equipped...including Quadrasteer!)

I'm l00king into changing my car within the next few months...

My MAJOR requirements are:
- Folded WPC pinball must fit inside the vehicle
- 4-cylindre engine (I want at least 28MPG or better mileage)
- A good warranty/extended warranty
- Can afford the payment!  

Since I do quite a bit of travelling (500+km/week just to go to work), I need something that won't cost me an arm and a leg to drive.

My last experience with a North American car was...well...very unpleasant...

I lost major coin when traded in my Olds HELLero....it was either that or spend mega bux into fixing it (a 2-year old car with no warranty left <80K> which needed tranny, engine and electrical work done)

Let's say that Ford/GM/Dodge are not in my 'favorites' list...

what do u haul your games in? figure this would be a good topic havent written much due to the fact i decided to take a second job. well before, I would ask sparky to pick up any game I would purchase, but this will take its toll over time on his interior. so i had the idea buy a pickup truck, a used one not to expensive (cause i am cheap "Scottish blood"). did some shopping around and most of the trucks i saw were beat, of course they are cheap most has 200 000 km + on them and certain things no longer function. but on the 5th truck i & Sparky looked at was decent 89 toyota pickup from lespac> drove it told the guy i was a cheap asked him what was his low ball offer was (didnt want to hagle) and bought it. of course it has some issues like a fried radiator will get it replaced & a leaky oilpan and crapy tires but for what i was willing to pay it is good. now the problem is got the truck but no money to buy games, i guess you cant have it all

hehehehhh... The Iraqi Assault Vehicle...

Or as Jack Burton would call it, ...the Pork Chop Express...


Oh... and what do you think makes more damage to the interior of a truck... a pinball machine, an arcade game, or 2 big Labrador mix dogs totalling 170 pounds?

Can you say "Fur-lined seats"??? I can honestly say I am one of the few people driving a vehicle with claw marks on my dash...

Well... I finally made the move 2 weeks ago...

Got myself a pin-worthy vehicle...



I'm very satisfied with it (for now) and gave it it's "pinball baptism" last week...

http://www.frosken.com/pinball/biggame

Now I can finally pick up machines without borrowing someone's truck or trailer...YAY!!!

To be done: install hitch (to pick-up MORE machines...)

Quoted from Moonlit_Knight
The MaacaWagon: 2002 Saturn Vue ... yes.. orange.

Mileage when purchased 9 months ago:  90000km

Mileage : 118000km

Arcade-related mileage: a shitload!


Mileage now = 149000kms and MANY problems...

Solution? CHANGE IT!!!

...bought a nice Mazda MPV 2003, low mileage, silver, near fully equiped. Should pick it up Tuesday if all credit is approved.

Gonna be MUCH easier now to haul pins (can fit 2 easily in it!!!), and the ride to Allentown next year will be much smoother!

I would be curious how you like this vehicle, I looked at one a while back and they look good, but have to be one of the smaller Minivans around. Still fit a couple of pins I think, and if it will fit, Small is good!
