the only kids who do well that dont hit the walls have spent lots of quarters to make supercars and they store them on those little cards

 

yeah...one of the kids giving me pointers had like 3 or so cards with FULL cars.
They had ways of cheating to build cars but it costs bank. Those kids looked like they spent like $10-20 a day atleast.

nutty...I'll be like $5 once a week TOPS.

 

it gets annoying when those kids started doing gum tape deathmatch, the steering wheel becomes sticky after they peel off their duct tape

 

This goes under the list of "You watch too much Initial D when........".

 

I've been spending at least 5 bucks a day this past week since sunday. It takes me a game or two to warm up. Then I start racing against the next main challenge to start clearing a stage.

Today I finally cleared Akagi today with my stock option'ed GDB. Tomorrow after work I'm challenging Iketani/Cole to a rematch after my horrific defeat in my 2nd race of ever playing

 

I maxed out an AE86 in the first game... I think im done with arcades for awhile, but I do want to try v3. Batto, which version machine is in Auburn?

 

all this talk about kids spending 10-20 a day..doesnt it make some of you want to buy a pair of these arcade and put it somewhere and collecting some $$? if u thikn about it...say u have a good location..which shouldnt be too hard..seriously, just cuz the only place i know that has it is..metreon right now..and im in the sunset..and i know people who still go and play..say 10 people..(which isnt unreasonable) do 20 dollars a day, and the other ones that spend 2 or 3 bucks a day..say there are 5 a day, so thats 15 people, thats about 245 dollars a day, and this is on an ok day, good days u'll probably have like more people..more money, anyways, in a year, u'll make about 90,000, isnt that a good invesment for only 20,000, ive searched and came up with 2 version 2's for 14,000, but im not sure how much version 3 cost..shouldnt be more than 30, 000, so 90,000..isnt a bad number, but then..it could be less or more ..depending of course, but u have to worry about..since it is an acrade..immature kids will be playing it..and something might happen to the machine..so i dunno. theres always a risk when u invest. but if i had the money, i thikn id take this investment. but then..maintenance..i dunno, what do u guys think?
