Pretty scary at 50 mph, but hopefully a cheap fix. Now I just gotta wait for it to get warm enough to drop the top.

Arcade games, pinball machines AND sweet classic Jeeps? Moving to Edwardsville in August just keeps getting better! A nice CJ-7 has been a post college goal of mine ever since I got a Cherokee as my first vehicle, thus getting a foot in the door of the Jeep world.
LLUncoolJ:
Yeah, it's quite a life...other than the yearly kick in the nuts known as property taxes and the corrupt polititions, Illinois ain't too bad. Good luck in the Jeep pursuit, you're gonna have to deal with a lot of hillbillies. Then again, trying to find pinballs on Craigslist is no picnic either.
Mauzy:
Yeah, I've lived in Illinois for about 6 years now. Its not bad, where I've been (central, east central) is RIDICULOUSLY flat though.
As for dealing with hillbillies, I got an eye opener a few years ago driving through the part of Kentucky my dad grew up in. I would hope having a little of that backwood Kentucky blood would help help me a bit.

I have been to a dozen or so. IMO, it is a good time with a good selection. The number of pins has been strong lately (8-12 each time) and not all crap titles.
I will be attending.

How was this? Did you wind up going? If so, any new toys?
JeepMonkey:
I did not go. The only thing I was interested in playing was a Whirlwind. I would have played a few games of TZ though.
Here is a list of the pins they had.
Cue Ball Wizard
Dracula
Monopoly
Playboy 35th Ann Pinball
Whirlwind Pinball
Twilight Zone Pinball
Shoot Out Pinball
Lethal Weapon Pinball
Doodle Bub Pinball
My jeep is getting to the point where I need to get a second vehicle and make the jeep a toy / winter vehicle. It can still be a daily driver, but it just hit 12 years old and 110K miles. So with a new(er) car purchase (thinking 350Z) and I just paid off a big chuck of my mortgage, means the pin fund is a little low right now.
