    Congrats Rawley!

    I actually went the opposite direction. I sold my Porsche Spyder and used some of the money to purchase some nicer pins, including a restored AFM, and to pay to have my MB restored. My Porsche was pretty much used only on weekends, whereas I can play my pins every day.

    I do miss her though! Top down driving in a Porsche...hard to beat!

    I sold some pins a few years ago to buy my 08 Lotus Elise SC,I have never regretted it and love that car and it keep me in shape because you can not fit into it if you are larger than a 34 in waist .It has not gone up in value like my pins but for a car it has held out ok.I think a balance in life is good and it is fun to have other interest because pinball can be all consuming

    Uh....so can Loti! (plural of Lotus)

    Ask me how I know.

    Quoted from taylor34:

    27mpg at 75mph is pretty good for most cars, a lot of cars lose mpg when you go that fast.

    That's mostly because of gearing.
