  Ted @ 2009-12-17 14:57:34

  but this image is cool
  yz @ 2009-12-17 15:16:55

• Like the new layout Sherri, nice clean look and cool framing on the image.Beautiful shot, with wonderful tones and clarity. Looks pretty fancy for a beetle.

• To this day, Sherri, whenever I'm with my g'son, we still do that punch-buggy game. I love it!
  Ginnie @ 2009-12-18 02:24:28
• very sensual tones and interestin details... very nice
  fabrizio @ 2009-12-18 03:00:39
• Is this the New Evie Sherri? I like the light and the framing!
  Standley @ 2009-12-18 03:53:01
• Oh, I know that game!
  hoi @ 2009-12-18 08:39:06
• Really cool image and I rather like the new Beetle :-)
  Frida @ 2009-12-18 09:20:23
• Slug bug here in Texas...never heard of the game until I moved here. That's Evie's evil twin...Mini-Evie.

• Hey Sherri,
  
  It has been a brief period since I've been by. Life took off and almost left me. I've just spend some time floating around your website and your NOTES site. These are really beautiful! You've done a fantastic job at creating a place to display your thoughts and images.
  
  I hope after the first of the year I will be back around a couple of times each week.
  
  Have a Merry Christmas! Love, Tammy

• Looks like Evie had a makeover!
  Susan @ 2009-12-18 18:00:45
• Like the tones for this "fake" one. :-)
  Andrés @ 2009-12-18 19:11:38
• Fake Evie!!!
  Robin @ 2009-12-18 19:16:34
• i like all the doors - doors in the background, car doors.
  michele @ 2009-12-18 21:27:56
• Never heard of that game before. Love the tones.
  Zing @ 2009-12-19 00:10:51
• De la gueule jusque par derrière.
  JMS* @ 2009-12-19 00:42:45
• Wonderful vintage processing. Fun little car!!!!
  Marcie @ 2009-12-19 03:51:30
• Great shot of an Iconic car! A very neat image and tone that brings out the lines and great design! Well done!
  Pavan Kaul @ 2009-12-19 07:49:48
• the tones really go well with the overall template of your site. the image compliments it. nicely done.
  faisal @ 2009-12-19 10:47:09
• I can't imagine Elvie being envious of this johnny-come-lately convertible!
  Nice image of this newbie though. I went back and checked the shutter speed on my Santa shot and decided I must have taken that one standing beside the escalator not on it! :-)
  don @ 2009-12-19 11:16:15
• Bonsoir,
  Nice range of tones..bravo!
  jelb @ 2009-12-19 14:06:05
• yep familar with the game...punch buggie ...no punch backs... Great use of tone to set a mood!
  Yvonne @ 2009-12-20 09:36:07
• I don't know that game. Good work done.
  Joachim @ 2009-12-20 09:44:05
• Pretty nice car, but I like the old model better. For example: your Beetle.
  javga @ 2009-12-20 14:29:08
• They look like nice cars, but they don't have that campy/quaint charm of the originals, do they?
  Erinn @ 2009-12-21 14:46:01
• The new version of your friend. Like the older ones better.
  Nick @ 2009-12-23 08:05:14
• This looks so cool in monotone!
  Arjan - PlasticDaisy @ 2009-12-23 14:29:53
• nice shot even if it is a fake Evie!
  Diane @ 2009-12-23 18:10:44
• It has not so beautiful curves like Evie. The old looks sometimes much better.
  Cerstin @ 2009-12-25 06:21:50
• ah yes, slug bug. it hurts...
  grant @ 2010-01-03 18:42:37
• good crop .. works well in b&w
  Klaus @ 2010-01-11 13:56:59
• Yep, we used to call it slug bug. Need to revive that game, actually.
  
  I don't like the new Beetles. Nothing against Mexico or Mexicans, but they're not exactly making Volkswagen proud down there.
  Dustin @ 2010-01-26 21:32:13

...we don't like that, so we made up our own game.

When we see a new one like this we say, "Fake Evie!"


Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.
