D'OH!

Hee Hee! Local hijinx. I love living on the beach!

PS: This is NOT my car...

[SquirrelKing]

SC Ping...

[Conspiracy Guy]

Dumb and dumber.

[NRA1995]

Dumb and dumber and dumberer....3 stuck vehicles...

[cjshapi]

Here's something you don't see every day.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

He said at that time he saw a man and a woman, both naked, emerge from the car onto the beach...

Apparently neither the ho' nor the backhoe could help him. (At least with the car.)

[Tax-chick]

Too bad about the backhoe. I wonder if insurance covers this sort of thing.

[Conspiracy Guy]

The Honda looks like a wreck. No way I would have taken a HEAVIER vehicle out to it. In the south we'd pull a winch cable out to it and winch it in. Rule of thumb, "There is a reason the vehicle is stuck. Don't drive out to it for a second opinion."

[ElkGroveDan]

It looks like they ripped the rear bumper and a fender off that Honda while they were trying to pull it out.

on the heavy-lift blimp should
always be on time.

Hell, man -- you don't need to be in the south to think of that one....

Rule of thumb, "There is a reason the vehicle is stuck. Don't drive out to it for a second opinion."

LOL! Excellent.

"Rule of thumb, "There is a reason the vehicle is stuck. Don't drive out to it for a second opinion.""

Yup. And the corollary to that is:

Owning a 4WD vehicle only means you have to walk farther after you get stuck.

I used to mud buggy and 4X4 off road a lot. Common sense saves a lot of trouble. Dang I want a mud buggy again. Do you want to buy my 2002 Boston Whaler 130 sport, worth $7200 I'll let it go for $5500. I could by a nice mud buggy.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Never get more than 200 feet from the nearest big tree.

[MineralMan]

"Never get more than 200 feet from the nearest big tree."

Well, there is that. Myself, though...I prefer a wench in the truck to a winch on the truck.

[Conspiracy Guy]

It is best to have a wench and a winch. Get struck in mud, enjoy wench, employ winch, go home and rest.

[Fierce Allegiance]

stuck vehicle ping.

[Junior]

Which is a good thing.

[null and void]

First he pumped, then she pumped, then they got out and fixed the tire...

[dhuffman@awod.com]

There is the old joke that ends "dis is what I wrench ma monkey wif!"

A 4x4 w/o winch will get stuck.
