It does but, Jeepers, who's at Liberty to reveal when it is to end?

Police investigating origin of mystery vehicle

ALTON
— Local authorities are continuing their investigation into the origin of an unoccupied SUV that was pulled from the waters of Alton Bay last week. At approximately 2:30 p.m. on the afternoon of Nov. 18, Alton fire and police personnel responded to a 911 call made by a Peggy’s Cove Rd. resident who spotted the back end of a blue, two-door GMC Jimmy jutting out of the water several feet from the end of a nearby dock when she returned home from work. Two firefighters immediately donned cold water suits and dived into the water to search for anyone who might have been trapped inside the vehicle, but found no trace of the SUV’s former occupants in or around it. With no witnesses to the incident, and the driver of the vehicle unknown, the only evidence indicating how the vehicle had wound up in the bay was a set of skid marks in the dirt a few feet from the shoreline. After confirming that there were no occupants in need of help, the fire department called in a wrecker from Doug Roberts Auto Service of New Durham to pull the vehicle (which did have a license plate) from the water, and turned it over to the police department. Police Chief Phil Smith announced in an e-mail to The Baysider on Nov. 19 that “the case has been cracked,” and that he would provide further details shortly. The fire department placed floaters in the water to remove any oil or gasoline that might have leaked out into the bay.

At last, this Rambler of a thread will be put to rest. The Thing about it is I will be sad to see it go, at least from my point of Vue.

And furthermore, the police began to explain their long delay in cracking this case. "While we can go over Land, our Cruisers can't go under OR over the water", they said. "Besides, the trees around the entry point were as big as Sierras, so we had to call in a Forrester Ranger to clear a path before we sent down a diver team to Probe the car. Upon Discoveryng the doors and windows were locked, further delays were incurred before we were able to Jimmy the locks".

Sounds like a bunch of Excursions down the wrong Pathfinder , if you ask me.

All this thread seems to be lacking is a 25 billion dollar bailout.

Just my 2 cents worth....

rander7823 12-03-2008 05:19 PM

Maybe?/
 
The owner doesn't know the car is nissan yet

Pineedles 12-03-2008 09:09 PM

The last Lincoln is stretchen it a bit.

If they get the bailout $$$, will GM spend some of it on bailing-out the Jimmy? By now, this Jimmy may be the most famous submerged vehicle since that 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88.

Mee-n-Mac 12-04-2008 11:10 PM

Goes on and on and on ...

It's kinda creeping me out a bit, giving me the Willys.

gtxrider 12-05-2008 08:29 AM

and yet
 
Lets not lose FOCUS. I wonder what is the status of the investigation since the DISCOVERY of the Submerged Utility Vehicle was made. Is this a TEMPEST in a tea pot?

Redwing 12-05-2008 11:43 AM

Last rites
 
It does not bode well for JIMMY; the PRIUS(T) arrived and gave JIMMY his last rites.

brk-lnt 12-05-2008 05:49 PM

A story like this would never happen in Montego bay.

RI Swamp Yankee 12-05-2008 09:02 PM

I imagine all the Villager(s) are watching to see how this turns out.

SteveA 12-05-2008 09:17 PM

you mean the one,that after the Probe into the accident, caused the driver to fail to become his brothers Protege? ;)

Ropetow 12-05-2008 10:34 PM

Yes, Steve, 7-18-69, the day that even an Armada of Celebrity barristers of the highest Caliber and their accompanying Entourage couldn't help Tipsy Ted (aka Fat Boy) Escape from his Express Journey to the Enclave of shame, facing a Torrent of Crossfire.

It could have been worse: he could have been driving a Toyota Sprinter or Toyota Chaser.

As an Escort, it wasn't very Valiant or Galant to depart the scene, but 911 was in its infancy back then, so he was able to Dodge all Avengers, maintain the Imperial family legacy in politics, and still appear Smart.

My uncle Cy is a classic snowbird, heading south when the first signs of winter appear.

However, he has been delayed this year and hasn't left yet. I hope we can get Scion the road soon, before the bad weather hits.

Jimmy cracked horn and didn't care

Mee-n-Mac 12-10-2008 12:22 PM

Or ...
 
Jimmy was born a Rambler man,
Trying to take a turn, doing the best he can,
A splash meant time for leavin,
I hope you'll understand,
Don't need no SUV, Jimmy's a Rambler man.

SteveA 12-10-2008 08:48 PM

or this Jimmy...
 
This will get your toes tapping.

OK...fess up. Was it Uncle Cy's Jimmy in the lake? He could have left by now if his Jimmy wasn't so waterlogged.....
:D:p

Ropetow 12-11-2008 06:15 PM

I hope Uncle Cy is safely on his way. Hopefully he won't need to resort to using his trusty Cutlass, the Supreme all-purpose tool, to fight through the mob getting to the airport for his trip to Monaco before the Toranado strikes, let he be become too Reliant on his ever-present Samurai powers.

Argie's Wife 12-11-2008 10:03 PM

I looked all over town and country for our trusty Baysider reporter today, who had covered this story. When we finally rendezvoused, I diplomatically asked, "Uno question for you.... Any insight on who left the Jimmy in Peggy's Cove?"

He adjusted his aviator glasses and ascot, "I thought this story was going to be a breeze and I've probed for more information, but I don't know who did it. Must have been a phantom or spirit. It beats me." There was an air of mystique to his voice.

I looked at him with empathy, "That's tough. I don't envoy you one bit."

===

Seriously... no name yet to the case. So the thread lives on.... :D

chaseisland 12-12-2008 02:45 PM

I'm glad I didn't PILOT that JIMMY into the lake!

brk-lnt 12-14-2008 02:14 PM

If this thread gets any longer, it might just start to get International attention.

Quilt Lady 12-14-2008 04:57 PM

Another tale of poor Jimmy . . .
 
(or waaaay too much time without power).

Jimmy was Endeavor(ing) to Impreza the Grand Marquis of Monte Carlo. Suddenly, a Galant Mustang Charger(ed) in front of him, speeding like a Rabbit, trying to Escape the Focus of a Fit Cougar. The ghostly Spectra of this Frontier Raider spooked poor Jimmy and caused him to Edge off of the Path(finder).

An Expedition to the Town & Country, on a Quest to Wrangle(r) the Raider back to the Frontier, failed to find the Rogue Outlander.

An Avalanche of publicity has caused poor Jimmy to Journey to Silverado or Aspen, without a Compass, to seek out a Sky Vue. Soon the Torrent will Passat and we will give Maxima Tribute to that great Patriot, Jimmy, for providing us all with such great entertainment!

Welcome to your new cottage.
 
Hello everyone,
I'm new on the forum. I'm also new on the lake and would you believe I bought my cottage in Peggy's Cove Estates! About 300 feet from the water. That is our dock next to the Jimmy in those pictures. I was there that day but I arrived just after it happened. It was my second time there. What a welcome ha?

RI Swamp Yankee 12-14-2008 10:51 PM

Welcome to the forums Mat. That must have been quite a Discovery seeing that in the water next to your dock.

SteveA 12-15-2008 07:16 AM

I think my reaction would have been.. "Wow, look at that, there's a Jimmy in the H2. O, next to my dock. " :rolleye1:

Guiness Book of Records Announces
 
The new record for largest lure used in freshwater fishing goes to this guy who used the Jimmy Spinner. Unfortunately the fish caught with this new lure were crushed beyond recognition. Good news is the next bass fishing tournament from Ame’s will require the use of the Jimmy Spinner

tis 12-15-2008 07:30 PM

I don't think anybody has said Jeep ers!

Ropetow 12-15-2008 09:06 PM

Poor Uncle Cy, stuck here for this ice storm. Were he in Florida, Sidekick-back and relax, enjoying the warm weather. No, he wouldn't rub it in too much. That wouldn't be too Swift. Cy's the kind of guy who likes to Accentuate the positive in a Diplomatic manner.

Skipper of the Sea Que 12-23-2008 07:41 AM

Not the Twilight zone - it's the Groan zone!
 
How many MPG (Messages Per Gag)? Humm Err..., gee, oh,... that should be GPM, Gags Per Message. Don’t Balk at that Ernie, just Come On Down. Bring your friends, Lauren, Dee and Ann - they are hot and will get the Mercury rising. I like those pretty pick-ups.

Plenty of seating on fine Corinthian leather. Before we get going do you want to snack on some Rolls Roy(sss) before you Sit Roy an’ (Citroën) listen to this story :rolleye1:

Every year we have a gathering like a Fiesta, at my friend Ed’s house in one of the boroughs of NY. His mom always makes fiery chili with plenty of Pinto beans. Someone who should know better asked who made the chili. The reply, of course, was, “ it’s Ma’s Duhhh” (Mazda). We sit on the front Porsche and Ed, the Rambler, goes on and on with stories. But wait, there’s more! Don’t groan yet, there‘s a real stretch just ahead...

He RECALLED the yearly MIT college prank - clandestinely putting something seemingly impossible and unusual up high on the roof of a college building. One year a big car, another time it was their scientific experimental submarine. The local paper headline that year read, “MIT sub is hi(gh)” (Mitsubishi). It’s enough to make you gNASH your teeth trying to figure out how they did that.


Ed worries about his job as a car salesman in this economy.
The mortgage wRANGLER at the bank wants to change terms of his CONVERTIBLE mortgage and Ed has zoning issues with the borough. The zoning dispute will be resolved even if he has to go to court and Sue Borough (Subaru) officials - those hot air bags.

Ed loves that “new” smell. New boats, new quilts, new car smell and even new toy smell. Nothing like a good ToyOder (Toyota) to him. As soon as you see Ed Sell a car you know how good he is. And every Sunday watch Ed-Sell-a-Van. (Youngs won’t get the reference but the Old’s will). This mental time travel is enjoyed by friends Dee Laurie Ann and Ed. (remember them? I introduced them up in the 2nd sentence). I know, it’s a big stretch.

Before I depart, A few items to ponder:

Why couldn’t the Italian tourist drive his rent-a-car? No Key-uh.
still speaking with an Italian accent, What do some research doctors do in Italy? Look for A-cure-uh.
When my Honey’s roots are really showing should I tell her? “It’s time now, Hun Dye it again“?
I was originally going to talk about my wife’s weight and mention Hun Di(et) but didn’t want to stay in the garage tonight.
Is a Marine Corps veteran called a Cor-Vet?
Do people still talk about belly buttons being an innie or an outie (Audi)?
Anyone have proof that when it gets wrapped around a utility pole, Mercedes-Bends ?
When man of few words, Mr. T, went to hock his axe he was asked why he was at the shop. “We‘re taking pictures for an advertisement“, they said. “Are you here to model T?” “No fool“, he replied, I came “To Pawn T Axe”.
What do most kids say when school calls a snow DAY. WOO-hoo

Gotta go now, Too much egg nog. Besides, I hear the carolers (Corollas as we say in Bahston) coming up the driveway and I still have decorations I MUST HANG.

You may groan now ;)

Mee-n-Mac 12-23-2008 08:29 PM

Things are really getting bad at Eds' dealership. The economy is really causing problems. My wife took her car to their service department. She couldn't afford the repairs, but they said they had to chargher anyway.

One last thought about JIMMY
 
Happy New Year to all Forum members and readers,
This has been the ALTIMA(TE) thread, one that will live on in our memories in INFINITI.

I hope we can all dodge like a matador the gremlins that may be lurking out there in 2009.
