Post pics of your official arcade hauler! (car, truck, van, etc.)

So when you go on an arcade run, what vehicle does the dirty work hauling that beast for you? Mine is a 94' Dodge Ram Van 15 passenger 350 V8...its a beast to say the least! Best of all it only has 80,000 miles on it to this day! So who has the baddest hauler and who has the sorriest? I guess so long as it brings the machine home it doesn't matter :)

As a Dodge it could only have a 5.2 (318) or a 5.9 (360) - LOL, sorry to correct ya' but I can't stand incorrect info on anything! :p

I haul with my 2002 Dodge Ram pickup, 8ft. bed, 2wd... just rolled over 100,000 last week! :(

Before I know it I'll be looking for a secondary hauler, something alot more cube-like.

The first picture below is one of my hundreds of game hauls...

The second picture is Avidgeek's Dodge Ram and my Dodge Ram both haulin' @ CAX '09. I think he had 7 games in his bed and I had 12 or so between bed and trailer on my way to pickup more!

Here's a pic of my minivan with a Toobin and a cabaret Centipede in it.

I used to have an Explorer and I would rent trailers:

2005 Dodge RAM 2500 with 196,000 miles on it.

I replaced a 1996 Dodge RAM 1500 with this truck and I've been real happy with the gas mileage increase. The '96 got 9-13MPG while the '05 gets 11-18MPG.
 
This was 3 trucks ago, (2002 Dodge Ram). After that was a 2004 RAM, 2006 RAM and now i'm in a 2008 RAM. (yes... I get bored with my vehicles.. real fast.)

This picture was a sad day for me! In one crate was a Begas Battle and the other crate was a Cliff Hanger waiting to go to Forward Air. The money was going to be used to pay some of my wedding in 2003.... got divorced in 2005. LOL! Oh well. Hmmm..... I think this was actually the last time I sold a game, too!

Here's mine, 1984 Chevy C30 Silverado Crew Cab, 454 V8 gas hog,9 miles to the gallon,8 foot bed with lift gate. This was the last year made to run on leaded gas so no Catalytic Converters. Right now it's out of service, lift gate leaks oil faster than you can put it in, exhaust donut blown out on right side and motor burns oil, needs over haul so I have to decide to fix it or replace it.

The Infernomobile. Purchased to haul BattleBots & toolboxes, but it's moved a few games over the years too.

Love the ability to fold down the back seatbacks. Or tumble the entire back seats forward. Or remove the back seats. And tilt the front seatback flat on its back. Very versatile seats!!!

I miss my truck, it was a great workhorse with a liftgate, an 84 Ford F150. I sold it a couple years ago after it broke down on me. Wish i hadn't done that now...

This is the only pic I could find of it:

So did you make any of the Battlebots I remember seeing on the tv show back in the day?

And I wish I had a picture of my buddy's truck we use for hauling games and everything else. He went to Uhaul to ask about renting a truck and they told him they had 2 trucks for sale for $1700 each. So he bought a 1989 Toyota Pickup with the Uhaul box on the back. It's the smallest size Uhaul they make, but I think we squeezed at least 4 games in the back of it one day. The sides are all painted white, and we put some of that Transformers flypaper on the sides of the box. So we have a Transformers truck with Optimus Prime on one side, and Bumblebee on the other.
