Michael

For legal reasons, no

Yesterday was pretty fuckin breezy

Me after losing the football pool on the boat every season for 3 years straight

I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED WENDY CARLOS’ BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY

Happy 86th queen thank you for enabling and inspiring my favorite genres of music and continuing to be a living icon and inspiration for trans folks everywhere

Even with all the cloud cover and light pollution from Thunder Bay we still got a damn good light show

Coast Guard has trained with us so much this year that we’re all kinda unphased by it but hey it’s cool to see it at night

Now you’re speaking my language

Not that Elwood was particularly shy in his intentions

Reason 168472939 to love the Blues Brothers is that they never did any comical reveal that the Illinois Nazis survived the fall like the movie does at the beginning when Elwood’s apartment blows up and somehow the cops get out unscathed

They’re just fucking dead lmao

Made a band for my grandpa’s cowboy hat I inherited using the emblem from his old Town Car

Was not a fun night in the tunnel

I give you fine people of Bluesky: a sleep deprived Michael crashout

You do look good abs it’s a very cute outfit!

It’s coming back and it’s coming back at a reasonable price

It’s criminal that none of the screen used sharks survived, I fucking love this goober so much

I love that I now have not one, but TWO photos of Bruce the shark dinking his oiter in my collection

My boss got bored and taught me how to do a monkey’s fist and for a first go at it, I think I did pretty alright

17 year old me leaving the high school parking lot at mach fuck in my Oldsmobile Achieva with a massive exhaust leak

Another quick visit from the Jayhawk today

I’ve taken a huge liking to wearing some of my more tame button downs as jackets

This is the last Oswald post I promise (if you follow me on insta or twitter there’s a longer memorial vid)

But it’s so hard to let go of my memories with this little shit. So many amazing people, cars and experiences have come from these past 6 years. I wouldn’t be here with any of you without him

I was, but after sitting for a year, mold, mice, and rot took their toll on top of the electrical and mechanical issues

There was no saving him

I just checked the website for the yard Oswald was at

He’s gone. For good. For real

Goodbye my friend

There’s also the weird category of “screen used survivors” that have been so restored they’re hardly the same

Martin Sanchez took the cool route though, restoring his screen used Christine using parts from the other wrecked Plymouths that were set to be crushed

She’ll be happy to know that some more surviving parts of one of the sharks (aside from teeth) turned up at auction recently!

Bob Mattey saved the eyes and gifted them to his neighbor and somehow they found their way onto the auction block

The backlot however was not kind to her…

There’s photos of Orca I (the fully operational boat) pre-scrap in her brief private ownership as well as in disrepair on the backlot after universal bought her back. They’re really upsetting as the guy that bought her initially clearly put work into restoring her

‪Bluesmobile: all destroyed during/after filming‬

‪Orca: both the main and stunt boats were kept around but rotted away and were broken apart ‬

‪W900: fate of all 3 trucks unknown‬

‪The Car: 3/4 destroyed during filming the 4th apparently in a collection but has not been seen since‬

Thinkin about iconic movie vehicles that have either been confirmed destroyed or lost to time…

Nope! That’s the conveyor from the taconite facility to the loading rigs
