L33t Lazer Tag

This last weekend I helped my dad clean out his garage in preparation to getting new flooring put in and I came across this little gem:

Does anyone else remember that place? It was one of the first lazer tag arenas around (I only think it was in the late 80’s). I remember going with my dad and uncle and how so incredibly awesome it all was. They had lazer lights, fog machines and loud music along with a giant suspended scoreboard with your codename on it… what 80’s born 8 year-old kid wouldn’t go ape crap over that? Here’s the commercial:

EDIT: I believe the one we had was around Clovis and Ashlan

If Marilyn Monroe was a car

… She’d have 16-cylinders, 4 turbos, all-wheel drive, make 1,001 ponies, and cost $1 million plus. In other words she’d be a Bugatti Veyron. I figured the closest I’d get to seeing one was on Google Images, but lo-and-behold I saw one parked on the street today! With total disregard for the precious lives of those in the cars around me I promptly yanked my phone from my pocket and took some fly-by shots (had to make a couple passes).

The car is even sexier in person. Not too sure about the color in this case, I favor the more common 2 tone paint styles, but who am I to judge? This definitely made my day.

Editors note: My wife was kind enough to login and fix a typo for me… then delete my original post. “Thanks Honey!”. Sorry about that.
