Quoted from PDX_Pinball:

Sure you can do that, if you want to slum it. I don't see any pegboard walls in his game room. Amateur...

Yeah. I wouldn't be caught dead without any pegboard. Never mind.

Yeah dude, Texans like a good Californian, we need some more people to teach about the Alamo, convince you to install an oil pump jack in the back or front yard, and show you that a good pair of boots and a mustache is a good idea in any situation or season.

That's exactly how I picture Texas in my mind. Thanks for the confirmation.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!! Pictures coming.

I feel like emaciated Matthew McConaughey is smiling down on this project from the heavens:

Alright, alight, alight!Alright, alight, alight!

Perfect ending; this game room only does high scores, hence I’m giving a solid 11.2 stars out of 10

iPad has pezpunk 's iScored loaded...but if you want to be on the wall, you've got to bring your all!

Are you sure you didn’t just photoshop your entire gameroom build thread?

Our whole existence is part of a simulation. What is real?

I will take the blue pill!

Which one was that? I vote to live in ignorance, so give me that one.

#470 5 years ago

This is silliness, that room needs 3 more pinball machines

Just bought a High Speed today, which I'm excited about. Not totally on-theme for this Escort, so I may rechristen it a Low Speed.

Happy to entertain offers to host additional machines, though!

The matrix!

#473 5 years ago

Take em both, bet it would be a helluva trip!

Probably legal here...which is nice.

Never heard of it.

#475 5 years ago
Quoted from zh2oson:

Never heard of it.

The matrix is where the blue pill takes you to a fantastic place where everyone wears sunglasses, black leather and has the ability to dodge bullets, well, one guy could dodge bullets and fly. I’m sure if you used the force hard enough in the matrix you could make everything taste like chicken. So somebody told me.

Quoted from Chosen_S:

everything taste like chicken

I can dig it!!!!!!

#477 5 years ago

I found this bad boy in my son's Hot Wheels collection. The kid has good taste.

He’s on a roll!

#479 5 years ago

I personally upgraded from the matchbox car to this a week ago. I know it's not an escort, but the t-tops are pretty sweet.

Well, he's spending his paycheck from the project appropriately.

My buddy had an '87 Grand National a few years ago and it always drew attention.

Congrats!

Thanks, this one is an 86 and it only has 43k on it.

T-tops are brilliant. My car now has panoramic moon roof but nothing beats the t's!

Very nice. The only drawback to the Grand National is that it doesn't have the horsepower or chick magnetism you get with a stock Ford Escort.

Or a burgeoning pinball collection.
