Sexiest Driving Cab

[HoopstarsGarage]

I am on a quest to find the sexiest driving cab out there...

The quest calls for cab design and shape, art work and well... overall bling..

I have started one... the design is pretty nice.  Unfortunately, cost has been a limiting factor to its completion.  Hope to have it completed by mid summer.  Why you looking for one?

Are you looking for a driving cockpit or a cab/seat design similar to most Cruisin machines?  Or a stand up maybe?

I think cockpit cabs are the coolest.  I know someone (Jakobud? Mameroom?) had plans for a cockpit that would be a great starting point.  You could change the shape if you wanted, and of course paint it however you wanted.

EDIT: found the link http://www.mameroom.com/uacockpitplans_info.asp

I don't think it's the best design really, but it could start you in the right direction.  I'd prefer a closed design so you could totally immerse yourself in the game, but that's just me.

I seem to remember someone made a closed cockpit with a military jet theme, or something similar.  Take a look in project announcements or the examples page.  It was very very nice.

Given the theme around here, I'll give you a guess

I have an area at our house which we have dedicated to our pinball machines, arcade and MAME cabs...   We "were" looking at putting a bar into this same area, but tonight we had about 15 or 16 people over for a low key party - they loved what we have but two or three people said "you should get a driving game"...

Now, here I sit a couple of hours after they have left (it's 2:30 am here in Oz and the other half is crashed out) and I am thinking a dedicated cab but running a PS2 or similar would be cool in that same bar area and it would be something else for them all to play..

We entertain a LOT and think this sort of cab could "work" better than a bar - after all, the kitchen is just 30 feet away

with the size of driving games, cockpit or sit-down, you could probably put a few game systems in there if you wanted to and run a system selector.  That way you could play PS2 and Xbox, for instance, or whichever you prefer.

I want to make one myself, but I need a place of my own lol.

mine runs mame and ps2 with X-arcade controls to swith back and forth.  It was designed with closed doors too.

i hope i hit the lotto or something to get the funds to complete it
