Thanks! Pepe was definitely my hero. He conquered an enemy I was too little to contend with, and for that he will always have my devotion! Hey, we share interests - I'm an ART too!
VERY Interesting! There is so much happening on this planet that I am unaware of. Thanks for enlightening me. I discovered they have something "similar" here in Texas.Would love to experience this someday.
LOL! There's *always* an extra one around for spare bits, isn't there?? But in a hall closet? That's almost as bad as my brother rebuilding his motorcycle in the living room!
I would have loved to see you with the Skunk. We haven't any here but when in the U.S.A. the car I was in went over a dead one and the stink in the car was something else. Did it stay in the house? The VW repairs are interesting I used to do oil changes etc. but with new cars I can hardly find the dipstick. Good video, your so relaxed. Denis.
You have never smelled fresh skunk? GOOD! It's worse than burning tires, and lasts forEVER! Pepe had his scent glands removed though. He had a warren under my dresser, wasn't allowed in the main house, my mother insisted! My room was on an enclosed porch. Denis, I won't own any car with computer chips and all that! I still take care of my truck.
Och...I'm getting all nostalgic. My childhood is totally linked to a series of bugs and one rabbit.
There was something honest about those machines. If you cared enough, you could figure out how they worked and not be a slave to some snotty mechanic.
EXACTLY! My third bug (the one I really truly owned) was abandoned in a friend's driveway by my ex. He said "if you want it, you can have it". My brother went with me, tweaked the clutch pedal spring - I drove that thing for five years, and learned to keep it together. I figured if it's that easy, even *I* can do it!
Oh how I looked for a pop up camper VW before my trip..I had a 64 bug- No air perfect Arizona car LOL you cant kill those cars..(caught on fire..$75.00 & it was back up and running)
Burning man..OH I'm so going.. Have wanted to for a few years and things keep coming up.
"It"? So you're a buggie too? I can see it now - you, me, robogortex, YouTubers at Burning Man! Hahaa!!! Let's go! Tickets are higher than ever this year... :(
Well not really "It" ... Alice.. her whole name was "Alice with the blue gown on" She was a miracle car..her license plates was a bible verse, of a miracle. Oh there have been others.. the red popup VW camper, the Green VW camper, 2-blue bugs, white rabbit..and that was just if we were all at home at once (my dad fixed vw's) I've lost track of how many VW have been in our family.
WuHoo! I would love to go to Burning Man sometime, but a little too far from New England. Loved the pet skunk fact. Something like that can really shake people up, too cool!
You are so charming! Glad I met you here. What a nice, wonderful person you are :) I am so charmed! Wow. The wisdom of the world is so cool. Seriously, I thank you for even being anywhere. Warmth and wonderfulness to you.
Nice video!! I'm glad to see that you're surviving our weather today! I hope that you didn't have to get out in it. I had to run errands early this morning and decided to bail on them about 10 minutes into them. Stay safe!
Heck, if you like cleaning toilets on rainy days, I'll invite you over to clean both of mine (with 4 males in the house, that's never fun), and then I'll give you backgammon tips. Deal?
Are you still in the Bay? Then you are by me!!!!!! Then I can come by and give you cash for that upright bas....or cello....which ever it is! lol.

I owned a Pizza store once, and the delivery cars were VWs. They're great. And, but, tell us - how did Pepe become a family member?
not2tees 4 years ago
Well he strolled into the back yard one day, and since I was playing "doctor", I had some fine surgical equipment on hand, soooo...
No, the neighborhood pet store had him. Odd, isn't that? I bought him with 2 week's allowance money (you know he *must* have been cheap, right??)

Your tone of voice when you said "Thanks, girl" cracked me up. I had about the same reaction when I got tagged. So what was your little skunk's name?

Well, it was "Pepe lePew", of course!

My dad always had one-and-a-half bugs which he dis- and re- assembled on the sidewalk. The spare "half" resided in an enormous hall closet.
