I'm not getting out, just coming to realize I have two project cars behind the two that run, and I don't drive them. I have a 350HO convertible that was originally Champagne with a green interior and a green top. Really cool car, currently triple white, and I think I'll sell that one soon.
Arcade cabinets are cool, but they're just too big. You can buy a multicade cabinet with every video game ever made for about $1500. I want to fix pinball machines as a side gig, so I bought a bunch of them and restored them. They're actually very simple machines. I decided not get arcade machines, because they're too big.
I bought a 1949 "RIO" pinball machine by United a few weeks ago, and the guy gave me a 1980 Atari Battlezone Cabaret that wasn't working. I pulled all the cards out and put in new caps, and now I'll send them out to be tested. It's a fun hobby, and to be honest with you, especially in winter, too old to like crawling under a car.
