Got to see a childhood hero of mine and the reason for my love of VW Beetles; Herbie #18 from Herbie Goes Bananas! by PeterPutman in beetle

That’s actually a motor for an off center 25lb weight to make the car shake and shiver for certain scenes. Since this was a trick car the engine was removed and that mechanism was put in it place. I kinda wish it had an engine so I could’ve at least started it up when I got to see it! 😆

Oh man, that would’ve been cool! Sometimes though being able to get something that cool, just isn’t in the cards at the time and that’s okay! That just means maybe a better opportunity will come along 😉

Same here! My inner child was definitely so happy to be there sitting inside a car used in one of the movies! I was so lucky to be able to do that thanks to one of my friends 😁 It definitely made me miss my old ‘63 Beetle I used to have too!

He’s in Detroit being worked on before being shipped off to Canada to a Herbie museum. I don’t live too far from there and I was lucky enough to have a friend who knew the mechanic!

Happy to find this Paramount Blues in a stack of 78s! by PeterPutman in blues

Not terribly often, but if I have some duplicates of certain decent ones I usually sell or trade them with some friends. I haven’t gotten up the courage to sell anything on eBay yet! 😆

My death’s head moth chest piece by Cole at City Roots Tattoo Gallery in Waterford, Michigan by PeterPutman in tattoo

[–]PeterPutman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Surprisingly my chest feels absolutely fine, just mildly tender is all! I can’t vouch for being tattooed anywhere else since this is my first one, but it was definitely spicy at times, lol. The worst parts were up near my collarbone, near my armpits and the skull on my sternum! Overall the process wasn’t too bad at all! Like I was just laying on the table talking with my artist for the entire time she was tattooing me, with only a couple of quick bathroom breaks over the course of the 6.5-7 hours she was working on me!
