Took a trip up to this place called Loon Lake (walking distance to the entrance to the Rubicon (http://www.4x4now.com/trcar.htm)). For all intents and purposes, the trip was pretty much ass.
In any case, I don't really want to get into any sort of whah story. On the way home we stopped by this store/bar/lodge place and they had five cabinets. While trying to surreptitiously check out the cabs while making it seem like I'm actually listening to the fiance/mother talk, one cab in particular caught my eye. It likely wasn't the oldest cab there, but the artwork was distinct and made it stand out in the dark (even at 10 AM). Took a peek at the marquee and damn if the cab was converted to a Golden Axe! :banghead:
While the opposite sex sought relief at the restrooms, I snuck in the bar and took photos with the cell. Didn't have time to snap photos of all the cabs, there was a few big bruiser type guys and a bar babe giving me strange looks. Since the bruisers and the babe seemed to know each other, I really didn't want to find out if they had a no camera policy or not. I snapped what I was after and slipped back out.
So, can anyone identify what cab this was? Sorry if the quality isn't too great. The second photo looks like ---Cleveland steamer--- but it does show the conversion to Golden Axe.

Long gone, I'm sure.

Local friend of mine sold a Gravitar cab with Tetris in it for like $250 to a fellow in NY. Local guy was stumped why a Ny'er would come all the way down here for a junker game with a smile on his face the whole time.
This was until I explained to him the Gravitar thing.
