[FSPA] GB at CarPool (video mode)

[Dave Hubbard]

That to me is the most damning thing about GB.  Most people I've
encountered think it's fun on theme, sound package, etc... but it's such a
dog to actually play that no one wants to put money into it.

Now if I'm at Gregg's or somewhere private, I'll play it a dozen times just
to get one We Came We Saw :)
