I hope to hell he put more rope on it than what i see in the picture..otherwise that cab fell off on the first turn out of the lot.
Unbelievable.
I looked at the picture, read through this thread, looked at the picture again, went to look at other threads, then came back to look at this picture again. I can't imagine the thought process that it took to decide that this was a good idea.

You can't expect the guy to prioritize a new headlight, a hair cut or even a pair of pants over buying Pengo.....can you?

It's okay, though - he's got the Sunoco sticker to make sure what's left of the headlight doesn't fall out.

LOL...I had the exact same thought. You hate to pile on a guy who might not be in the same financial position as you and having money doesn't make you better than the next guy.
However, you don't need money to have some degree of pride and self respect. Seriously, if you are going to meet someone as a buyer or seller you could at least change out of your pajamas and put on some pants. Right?
By the looks of things, I guessing strapping the Pengo machine to the top of the car was not the first bad decision this guy has made along the way.
It's all about the mission to get the game. And this dude was definitely on a quest! He was probably geeked on meth and decided he wanted to play some pengo. Hey, says tweeker #2, we can strap that sh!^ to the roof of the car like we did your mother! Yeah man, and there will be less mess to clean up! Yeah!
He propably didn't make it out the driveway before it cracked the windshield and flattened the roof. It's ok man, says tweaker #2, I can hold the flashlight out the window!

Why the fuck would anyone have to dress appropriately to buy/sell a game? I have the same pants and I have no problem wearing them out in public. I think I have that same shirt and long hair and also have a stupid little white Toyota. I have not strapped a cab to the roof but I have hauled all kind of shit it that beer can of a car.

Um...really?
(And, mind you, I'm a guy who fought to rid a former company of business casual dress in favor of jeans.)
Looks like something that would happen to me. Recently I sold a dish washer to a guy that 1/2 disassembled it so he could put it in the front seat of a 2 door Honda Accord. I also sold an exercise bike to a one legged lady. I tied that into the trunk of her car for her.

That's really funny; never thought I'd see one strapped to the top of a car like luggage. And as the owner of an original Pengo, that's not a Pengo cab. A real Pengo cab would've caved in the roof of that car. Heavy sucker!

Really. And I wear my Pacman panties underneath.

Looks like the headlight is still there - it's just the corner marker light that's busted out. You can see the side of the headlight assembly though. So... it might still be working.
Interesting choice to strap a game to the top of a car, but as long as it's strapped in there real good, it should be OK. Just, you know, drive slow... Not everyone has access to a truck or a van.
Hah. That's nothing. Barely even registers as "rusty" compared to what cars start to look like up here. You guys in Texas have it easy - the salt on the roads in the winter eats the cars away to nothing. The drivers side fender on my car is just about gone.

Ain't that the truth. The northeast is hell on cars; some of them look like giant potato pancakes after seven years.
Um...yes... I can not make that up. She had her son with her. He had apparently been in a car accident some years back. He had sustained a head and neck injury. It was nice that he was doing well, it was apparent it was traumatic, but it happened to leave his speech sounding just like Billy Bob Thornton playing Sling Blade.
On one hand it was all a bit sad, but I was also difficult to not notice the comedy of the situation.
Notice the buyers placement of the shipping blanket.....can't let that strap mar the cabinet.
