I have been on a Grail run since tue morning... Its been a Wild Ride.. I cranked up the radio, and hit the road around tue around 10am.. Its 6am now. Its been a wild ride.. I have seen heavy rain, White out snow, Freezing Rain, Black Ice, slush covered highways, even saw a helicopter at a gas station fuel pump:eek:

Im 600 miles into the trip now, been up for almost 24 hours.. Finally threw in the towel and got a hotel room, enough intense driving for 1 day..

Sometimes I wonder, is it all really worth it:rolleyes:

road trips a all well and good but not risking your neck. I'd be abit leery if I had to drive through a blizzard to get a game.
 
djw90, so what is the game you're getting? You mention "Wild Ride". Are you getting a Mr. Do game?

If the game you're getting isn't Time Killers, it's not really worth such a trip.
 
Dude, you won't do any of us a favor if you end up killing yourself. Be careful out there. You are too big an asset and friend to many of us so keep your wits about you. Good call on the hotel room. I would have sprung for it if need be.
 
The most overused word in this hobby???

NOS???


I go with "grail".....the shoe collectors use this word moreso than here btw.....

You know just about every single time I go pick up a game the same weather problems happen. I just went and picked up parts on Saturday and had a freak snow storm out of no where. I went to pick up my joust CT last year and had torrential down pours of rain and high winds. When I use to go to arcade auctions in NJ it would basically rain every time I went. I tend to get worried if the weather stays nice on a game pickup LOL.

I had a grail delivered straight to my game room yesterday from a guy who lives 25 miles from me. You should try it sometime, Dan. :D

wouldn't gas for a 1200 mile trip + hotels + your time lost be significantly more expensive than just getting the game shipped?

This is why I won't go more than maybe a couple hundred miles...and my truck gets horrible gas mileage, especially loaded with a game :p

But yeah, I'm with everyone else - good luck and be safe!

Chris, Yes I took pics including the helicopter. I didnt bring download cord for camera, since I didnt plan of stopping.. Still in hotel room having a hard time getting going today.. Didnt even get up for the comp breakfast lol.. Sould have pics in a few hours when I get home..

Yea I can think of a few machines I might drive 1200 miles for, but not many.. This trip will be just over 700 miles r/t.. Thats what made it frustrating.. I only had a little over 100 miles to go to get home..

Here is a teaser pic until I can get home and get it unloaded.. I have chased this machine thru 2 different owners.. I will share that story when I get home...
