Everhart Brother's MidWest Road Trip Excursion (Michigan or Bust)
2-7-14.
So I have been messaging with a pretty big Sega Collector on ebay, and he found out I have two display cases, and he had the Portland Michigan case that was on ebay last year. I casually say if you ever want to sell it, let me know........
5 hour drive 1-way (FYI the Car Ferry does not run in the Winter)
The Mission
Drive to Sand Lake Michigan to buy the following.
My brother and I left around 6 AM our time, and got home around 8 pm tonight. Including hitting some Chicago Traffic, a few stops along the way and Dinner at Big Boy (We don't have those by us)
We hit up a local game store. They had buy 2 get one free on Vintage games (Cardboard Sports CIB were $1.99 each)
We ate at big boy on the way home.
I am on the left. My backup muscle is on the right.
You just want to see this anyhow.
Sega Display Case #3 (I need to buy some pegboard for the back, paint it black, and reinstall the light on top) The Glass Doors are included as well, and not damaged)
And.
This Walmart ? Topper ?
It appears to be a display for the top of a Walmart Display Case. The front lights up and there is an additional light that shines down. Dimensions are 4 feet long, by 2 feet (ish) deep by 7 inches tall.
Total Damage for Display Case, Topper, and Road Rash 3 Manual ($402)
Total Cost at Local Game Store around $65
Total Gas Estimate around $120-$150 (Total Miles 630)
My new Big Boy Bank $9
Used a paid Vacation day for work.
10 hours with my brother (Awesome) (Life is busy and we both have our own families, so it was nice to catch up, etc.)
I will post some updated pictures once I get this one set up, and the other display light.

Comments
Needed the pegboard in the back. Bought a new sheet, cut to fit, painted, installed.
Needed a new light. Whoever messed with it last (not the guy I got it from) really boogered it up.
New Shelves and Pegs.
Put new lights in the sonic header sign as well, it looks much better with new lights in it.
