    Got two a few years ago, now it's 5 pins, a shuffle bowl and air hockey. I'd have 10 if the air hockey didn't take up so much room. But there's the garage, I might be able to squeeze more in there if I get the cars organized just right. A couple pins have a few hundred in upgrades, while Scared Stiff was my ultimate money sucker. But now I have TOM, so that one might approach SS in upgrades - being thrifty isn't much fun. But I build cars too, and they need attention as well, so the pin upgrades take a back seat when required. Currently we're preparing for a car show at Carlisle in July, so the pin stuff is backburner for at least 6 weeks so we can get everything built for that.
    Life won't last forever, I try to fit as much fun as possible into the time I have
