Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Always the fatal flaw in a cargument, in that whatever is being compared to a car is usually a radically different thing.

Going to hop on my pro-cargument soapbox. Sometimes a car analogy works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes a food analogy works. I don't see anyone clutch their pearls and yell "foodgument!" when someone compares a JJP CE to a steak and a Stern pro to a hamburger.

If anything, a car is almost too close a value comparison to a pin (especially these days), which forces people to clarify that no, in fact, a pinball machine is not a car. No shit Sherlock, that's why language provides analogies.

Quoted from Thermionic:

For example, no one in the audiophile or astronomy hobbies (where lots of stuff costs as much or more than a NIB pin and is equally frivolous in the grand scheme of things) expects to break even, let alone profit, from the sale of anything they bought NIB.

Audiogument! Astrogument!

I wasn't defending that particular cargument, nimrods. (I agree with you, it was wrong!) I took issue with Levi's blanket assertion that all carguments are inherently invalid. Reading comprehension, it's a thing.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

If you ever spot a valid cargument, please post it here, as I'd love to finally see one after all these years.

How about "don't expect your Joe Balcer game to hold its value any more than a Corolla."

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Does Stern honor warranty for second owners? AFAIK it is not transferrable

The handful of times I've called Stern tech support, they've never asked if I'm the original owner. One time I wasn't even the owner. I was borrowing a game from a friend, an LE-specific part crapped out, and they mailed a replacement no questions asked, well outside the warranty period. I find them very reasonable if you're polite and patient.

Quoted from bobukcat:

Casual and even many experienced players can never hit the borg lock shot on STTNG either, does that mean it was untested and poorly designed

Yup.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

I can make the milk can shot 19 of 20 times in a row with little difficulty on my game.

Post a video of you making that shot 19 of 20 times and I'll PayPal you $100. Easy money.
