[FSPA] GB at CarPool (video mode)

[Bob K Mertz]

I'm glad a better player than me says this too....  I think this is one 
of the most brutal machines and it's a shame because, coming from 
someone who doesn't like Stern, it's got a great design that should be a 
lot of fun to play.  After the first few weeks of having it at Mighty 
Mikes I think the only time I've put money into it is when I'm in league 
or pre-playing.
