Title: What do you drive, and how many games will it hold?
Post by: paigeoliver on June 19, 2004, 09:41:15 pm: Ford Ranger, it is 20 years old, and I put 700-800 miles on it every week.

It will hold 3 uprights, 4 if you are creative.

I am not exactly sure how many miles mine has on it, but I know someone else with the same year, tranny, and engine who has a verified 750,000 on his engine (second transmission though).

Mine shows 60K on the odometer, certainly rolled once, likely twice.

Post by: GameDork on June 20, 2004, 02:30:33 am: 87 Buick Grand National

Won't Haul games..only hauls @$$!!!
Maybe a few monitors would fit in the huge trunk.

Fastest Production vehicle in 87... Faster that the Corvette

(1/4 mile times, that is)

87 Buick Grand National

My dad has a '87 Grand National motor still in the factory shipping crate.

'91 Montero - cocktail or upright would fit.
'96 Silverado - two or three uprights would fit comfortably.
'93 GMC Dually - Same as above, wouldn't squat the suspension as much.
'91 GMC Topkick - 24' box truck, ideal for a warehouse raid.
'92 Kenworth T600A - Can you say "bulk buy"? :D

Title: Re:What do you drive, and how many games will it hold?
Post by: maraxle on June 20, 2004, 08:53:26 am: 2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLX. It's an overpriced piece of crap. The mechanic sees it more often than I do. It has 38k miles on it, and doesn't fit a single game.
Title: Re:What do you drive, and how many games will it hold?
Post by: Ed ONeill on June 20, 2004, 12:52:47 pm: Well

Today I am driving the wife's 02 mustang gt convertible and there is a few thousand games in it....
Can you say portable battery operated MAME machine .

You can see my newly completed creation...MAME On The MOVE under project announcements.

BTW ..this machine will even fit in my very rare 1986 1/2 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 (only 1181 made) . This car possibly has the smallest trunk lid you will ever see...you can't just barely fit a dufflebag in.

Just my 2 cents

Post by: missioncontrol on June 20, 2004, 12:55:33 pm: Ford Bronco....

have had one upright in it had to move my tools around to get it in...perhaps if I got creative and took off the top I would fit more....also had my cocktail cabinet in there with plenty of room....

i went to start my old car yesterday (so inspired was i) to pose it for a photo but the battery was flat. ill have it ready in a few hours.

I can carry a few consoles, but not as many as Spamme can, his car has a bigger trunk. ;D

I also have a Ranger of similar vintage as Paige's. If he says it can carry three games, I'll take his word for it.

Title: Re:What do you drive, and how many games will it hold?
Post by: Grauwulf on June 22, 2004, 08:40:05 pm: 1991 Dodge Dakota. Will probably fit 3 uprights, hold one pinball machine nicely, and thanks to my skills playing tetris, I was able to put my showcase cab in the back and still be able to close the tailgate. ;D

My other vehicle is a 1990 Mustang Coupe and it will hold precisely 0 cabinets. My golf bag hardly fits in the trunk.

Hopefully it doesn't come back to life, I really need to buy a new car but I keep fixing up this old heap of junk.
Games it held: 0

Post by: danny_galaga on June 26, 2004, 04:51:15 am: OK, went and bought a new battery for my old car. On sale at $35, cheaper than the battery in the model I posted earlier! this is the car I used to drive, and the car I now drive. The yellow car is a Holden Torana, which for those outside Australia and New Zealand, is a GM brand. You would best know Holden from their revived Monaro marque which was a GT in the late 60

Post by: patrickl on June 28, 2004, 06:00:30 am: Funny to see that most people here drive cars which fit their classic arcade hobby. Lots of restored classics (or retro-look cars) and even cars that should probably be gutted and sold for scrap. Some apparently even drive a toy!
