Oh HELL no.

Yeah, the were a great band. First album is one of the best debut albums- Ever! I don't think so on a pinball though.
There is a saying back in the day that there are people who like Rock and people who like New Wave and everyone likes the Cars.
Did you really want to see Ric Ocasek dance like Jagger on stage? His wife Paulina dance is another story.

His wife Paulina dance is another story.

Hell yes

I remember the first album on 8 track.
Holy crap I'm old!
I think you could make a decent pin based on the Cars.

I saw U2 open for the Cars back when "I Will Follow" was U2's biggest song and they were still very much a cult band. Same experience - U2 blew the crowd away. The Cars were sticks-in-the-mud. Great music, but didn't move at all.

As much as I love the Cars' music, I can't see having a pin based on it.

Second album wasn't half bad either.

Love the cars music, and as others have said they do suck in concert. Saw them in chicago about 3 years ago when Ocasek was back with them. They did literally stand there and do nothing. I'm pretty certain that they even played their music about 20% slower than originally recording making it seem really, really bad. Probably the worst concert I've ever been too out of 20 or so.

That being said, as a pinball machine, great music for a pin and would have lots of driving cars in the theme. Think of getaway with cars or something like that wouldn't be bad. Put the song "drive" in there. Could have some type of magic trick for the song "magic" in one shot like TOM or pinball magic trick (make something new). An errant shot that falls back into the shooter lane could play "hello again" for a few seconds. Some kind of stereo mod would be great for a moving in stereo shot. My best friends girlfriend leaves some interesting ideas for a shot, song...
The wake Benjamin Orr from the dead shot, again, probably not a good idea

Cool idea, not ever going to be made in this lifetime!!!

Huge Cars fan here but ditto on on them sucking live. Saw them back in '81 and then again on the Heartburn City tour. I love 'em though and still jam on those early releases. Cars pin? Sorry but I just dont see it in the crystal pinball, although I agree on the Candy-O covershot. Have it hanging on my wall in the now playing slot. I spin the lp's.

Bonus points for listening on vinyl!

Great band, but I don't see it happening.

Just got off the phone with Gary Stern, he said the next pin will be...

Another run of BBH???

Close, BBH-2 will be after Milli Vanilli, and then Bobby Brown after that.

Pick up their last one --- MOVE LIKE THIS.

Great stuff. Obviously it's missing Ben - so it ain't perfect, but Rick can still write them.

Will there be any Whitney Houston modes on the Bobby Brown pin??

I just stated this in another thread 2 days ago.

Gary had no comment to any Whitney Houston modes, but he did comment that he thought everyone would like Humpin' Around Multi-Ball.

That's too bad, I was going to preorder the premium with cocaine-white trim!!

There could be a "shake it up" mode where the flippers are killed, the tilt bob is ignored, and you need to shake the pin vigorously. Perhaps a mini playfield where this is more appropriate. In either case, I'm not a cars fan. Won't want the pin.
