I won't talk about prices either.

But sometimes when people say they can't believe how much I've spent, I remind them than there are marinas filled with boats, or fancy cars in garages. People spend their money in different ways. That usually gets a "ah, yeah" response.

It's sad that people will proudly post photos of a new car on facebook, which represents $80k in debt for them that they took on, and yet a row of pinball machines we paid cash money for is cause for derision.

You guys just inspired me to take a pic. My Arcade vs My Car.

2009 Mazda 5, bought in 2012 for cash. Been driving it since.

Guess which one gives me more pleasure and is more fun.

The reality is I have way more pinball friends in my life these days than "other".
