Fathom
Bally, 1981So, after serious consideration, I have decided to go after my grail pin. I got my kick ass minivan rented (Avis will not put a firebird on the hood of their vehicles in honor of Smokey and the Bandit) and have just completed check point one of the journey. Im currently in Effingham, IL....made it in around midnight from KC. Thought I would share some of the journey.....
Tomorrow, I pick up the grail pin and start the trek back.
Im sure you Pinside Sleuths will guess my grail pin quickly
Quoted from chill:Enjoy the road trip.
I guess...Fathom.
Nope.....but love that game
1400 miles round trip, it better be for a great price. Gas about $150- tolls? if any and the bandit rental? Hope it's at least got a CB in it to play the part.
Drive safe and no reading Pinside while driving!

I hope you’re playing some Jerry Reed 
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done
Agree with RWH:
Gotta be one of the Star Treks.
OP uses the word trek in his first entry.
Anyway, I've always said
"If 'ya want 'em, sometimes
'ya just gotta go get 'em"
Had no idea somebody would
be willing to go such lengths.
Congrats on chasing down your grail.
Your avatar and name fit you well.

Yes! That song is the official national anthem of road trips
Quoted from Stones:Leaving the hotel.....
Not Star Trek..... had a pro once.....good game.
Another 5 according to Waze....
Not a Star Trek but you didn’t say it wasn’t my guess CFTBL....am I right?
Agreed, on his wishlist, and about 700 miles from MO to Columbus OH, where one sits NIB in the Pinside Classifieds.
Quoted from GrimDog:1400miles for a tron? I’ll never understand the love of that game
Its fakking voodoo man.....always been in love with this game
Quoted from BALL_LESS1:I took this pic at the Brass Armidillo on a recent road trip. They have a lot of ‘different’ things. Have a safe and successful grail trip
Its a cool place, but thats creepy....lol
Quoted from Gryszzz:Congrats dude! Trons are not easy to find, in the wild or at home.
Thanks Man! Jesus I though our roads were rough in KC. Indianapolis is painful!
Quoted from Stones:Thanks Man! Jesus I though our roads were rough in KC. Indianapolis is painful!
Shit man drive up here to Michigan and I think you would take that back.
Quoted from doublestack:Yes Indy has some of the worst roads in the country right now. Safe travels
Sure does and my rims know it! Hit a pot hole on 865 & Ford (roughly) called INDOT and told them, two months later was back down there and yep pot hole still there was in left lane!
Quoted from roar:I'm always up for a good road trip but if it is NIB why not have it shipped?
Better question is if you're going to spend the money to have a grail NIB shipped and have the time to go get it yourself WHY WOULDN'T YOU!?!?
Absolutely no reason to trust a shipping company AND you get to take a road trip? Hell yeah. I'm cranking up the Spotify and anyone that doesn't like my singing can take a hike back.
