That dreaded long drive to pick up a game....(Do you mind driving long distances?)
I have a dreaded nine hour (round trip) drive ahead of me tomorrow to pickup my last and final game...grr, does anyone else hate driving long distances? It's not only so much that I really hate driving but the gas expenses in a Supercharged V8 with only a four speed and 3.73 gearing is kind of a buzzkill too, lol. I should be used to long drives with my 2hr/day work commute (in a much more fuel efficient Honda Civic) plus I've driven up to 12hrs in one day to go to a Motocross race and back in the same day which even just spectating Motocross takes up a lot of energy to walk around the track all day up and down hills in the sun and heat with a backpack full of supplies (drinks, lunch, extra batteries for camera, ice packs, etc). I dunno, 'sometimes' I like a good drive but most of the time I hate driving.... and then when I get back have to deal with bringing the game up steps and around a tight corner. Well at least my truck has a stock top speed of 147mph so at the very least I can make up some time with raw speed? hehe.
Anyone else hate driving long distances and what's the longest you're willing to drive for a game? I think this is the longest I'm willing to go before the gas money starts to cost as much as the game does. Sometimes I wish we had the Star Trek beaming technology, imagine the worldwide fuel savings if we could just beam stuff long distances, LOL. Imagine buying a arcade game and having it instantly beamed to your garage!
