Wow. What a night lol...
I was offered a game at a price i could not refuse. Its a atari road burners(1999) by the way.
Anyways i had to move it TONIGHT... in the "great snowstorm of 2013" and it was located in the chi burbs.
My wife pleaded for me not to go. Friends said not to go. "dont do it" they said. "its not worth your life" they said. Well let me tell you, they were kinda right but for the wrong reason lol.
The weather, roads, traffic were honestly fine. My buddy and i made it in record time. We got the game loaded into my van with no issues, and when tipping it in a bunch of tokens came out.... well, we have come all this way... might as well play some games in the arcade right?
So i park the van, lock it up and come back in. We play some games. Fun times had by all.
About 7:30 we decided we better hit the road. I cannot find my van key. Shit.. maybe its in the other pocket.. nope. Retrace my steps through the building.... nada. Using a metal rod from some landscaping i popped the side glass latched of my van and break in... No key in the van either.. what....the....fuck. Retraced my steps teo more times.. key is just gone. I guess it fell out of my pocket as i walked back to the building.. FEEk.. so the next 2 hours we chip away at my steering column.. now it cranks but wont start due to antitheft system. Bypassed that crap, finally, its alive!!! I just got home. This game just cost me a whole lot more money man... Fun times.
