Taxi is a pretty neat game. Not sure what "gritty" means but I've seen filthy, grimy playfields that look great after cleaning and polishing. If I got a Taxi where the condition was not quite as good as I expected, I would probably fix it up (remove the mylar using the freeze spray technique, clean and polish the playfield, clean and replace playfield parts as needed, *maybe* do LEDs), and enjoy the game until I got tired of it. Then it's time to sell and get something else. I don't think that's is one of the voting choices though
