Police in Tobermory, Ont., pulled a red car from the harbour early Friday morning after a Kitchener woman followed instructions from her GPS and drove down a boat launch and into the water.
Ontario Provincial Police said the woman was following her GPS "when she took a wrong turn into Little Tub Harbour" late Thursday night.
It was raining, dark and foggy at the time.
Combining "weather conditions and the driver being new to the area, a fully submerged vehicle was the result," police said in a release.

Kitchner Waterloo, eh? What do expect, GPS is an American invention, what do Yankees care about poor Canadians, eh?

This was right after she checked the “710” in her engine I’m sure.

Use only extra virgin olive oil to top off your 710.

Not as bad as the Newfie who was driving home from BC with a load of BC Hydro. The GPS had him take a short cut across the border in Maine. Hilarity did not ensue at US Customs. Those people do not have a sense of humor.

When cops found him was sitting on hood of submerged car
Asked why drove past barricades - said GPS told him to......

At the risk of offending some of our fine neighbors to the north, Canadians sometimes have charming ways of expressing things, eh?

Looks just about perfect for growing great weed in your basement. All you need in addition is water and some good grow lights.
