Anyone Missing a GMC Jimmy?
 

from the Citizen - November 19

Early Ice Fisherman testing the ice?
 

It's probably the same guy from last year who drove onto the ice early to "test it". Needs to read the thread on ice formation.....

Father & Son Talk
 

Father, "Son, your home early."
Son, "Yeah".
Father, "Have you been drinking?"
Son, "What?"
Father, "Where's the SUV?"
Son, "Where?"

or......
 

It could be some well respected top honor student that got bored skimming snowmobiles (or maybe because his sunk) and now has tried skimming SUV's....same results

Why?
 

Why does it always seem to be a Jimmy in the water?

Not sure...the guy from Mass last year was driving a 2008 Explorer.

Why a Jimmy ?
 

That's a good question. I'm not sure if I have the answer but here's some reasons why the other SUVs aren't at the bottom ...

The Suburban stays in the city, doesn't venture to the waters edge.
Similarly the Forrester stays in the woods. And the Mountaineers and Highlanders ... goes w/o saying.
The Land Cruiser and Range Rover stay on the land, don't go out onto the lake.
The Navigator knows where to go and where not to.
The Cayenne is hot, it's fast enough to skim across the water.
The Bronco bucks the trend to go out there.
The Bravada, oddly, lacks the courage.
The Escape does get into trouble from time to time but manages to .... well ... get away.
The Amigos also get in trouble but always get pulled out by a friend before public notice ... probably by a Sidekick.
Samuris do sink but all you find are the guts.

To me the real question is how come we don't find more Typhoons or Armadas ?

Typhoons or Armadas
 

Typhoons just blow away and the Armadas sunk off the coast of England.

I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition...Get the comfy chair!

Escalade has comfy chairs ...
 

Nobody expects the Spanish Inqui .... oh bugger !

Explorering a new Frontier ...
 

I dunno, probably just a glitch in my Matrix. I'm a little out of my Element. Frankly I had hoped some others would chime in with an Avalanche of SUV puns. It would be a RAV4 all of us.

One More
 

My suv was on the lake, but I am not at Liberty to discuss it.

Were you just on another Expedition when that happened?

Word around Alton is...
 

...that the police are looking for the driver, who was described as wearing a Blazer.

Question . . .
 

Do they have a Winni(bago) problem in Lake Tahoe?:confused:

He was last seen heading towards Tahoe...

Maybe it's this Jimmy's Jimmy
 

Right around the 2.20 mark.. "Jimmy Down" :laugh:

Jimmy trying to Escape in a Blazer ?
 

Tahoe ? Rumour I heard it was to Santa Fe for a Rendezvous with an Aviator to fly him out of the country. Hopefully a Trooper with catch him before he gets away.

and not just any Trooper
 

Rumour I heard it was the Commander of the New Mexico State Police on the lookout for Jimmy.

And so on
 

Trying to Escape the Cherokee he tried to hide behind a Sequoia..

It is too bad we don't have more Mariners on the road...Seriosuly though, didn't the article say the Alton PD was last in posession of the vehicle?

I wanted to be a TrailBlazer, so I ventured off the road...

Well, my ENVOY likes to stay in the DENALI and out of the lake.

And yet
 

A Samurai would be a Trooper and not try to drown himself but use his sword to commit harri carri! No not the late Cub's announcer.

The Hummer ran out of gas before it got to the boat ramp.

This all seems a little fishy to me.

Had it been in the Yukon, the lake would probably be frozen by now, so no sinking.

I see all my Amigos here are really into the puns.

Yes....I CRV IPs (Very Important Posters) are really into this. (groan)

I guess we're running out of SUV models, that pun was XTerra-ble.

If this was the wild west, we would be circling our Wagoneers.

Ahh yes, the days of the wild west, when we had true Patriots...

Not to mention the Cherokees and Grand Cherokees will be Powowing near Laredo:rolleye1:

If Gunstock hadn't been running it's snow guns all week, I'd be able to drive to the top in my Mountaineer!

Gmc
 

I'm certain that a VALIANT effort was made by all to recover it.....

I'm sure glad it wasn't a NITRO that sank! :eek:

Dodging the truth
 

Was it that bad ??? Well OK, I won't Dodge it, it was certainly a low Caliber pun.

If this Torrent of puns continues beyond the Solstice I shall Endeavor to renew my RX for pain medication X5 and cease to VUE this forum no later than the Equinox. (I could try to come up with more but my wife says it's time to leave for dinner at Outback.)

The driver got out on the beach, and said.... Yugo!

The natives are already getting restless...It's going to be a LOOOONG winter! :D

This is a sad story
 

I don't want to get too inVolvoed in this discussion, except to point out this poor guy is probably sad and Saabing over his lost car. And I'm positive he regrets that someone had a camaro with them, took the picture of his car, and splashed it all over this Forum, InAcurately, I might add.

Are you all that Desperado for something to do?

I took an Odyssey to the Lake to see what all the fuss was about. It was my Civic duty.

Agreed: by all means, let the rest of us stay out of the Crossfire. :)

Crossfire? I thought this thread had a pretty good Vibe going.

Patrol the Discovery in Alton Bay for an Infinity, and Vanquish Cavalier speculation that a Ramcharger type of Samarui Darted Cavalierly into a Silhouette of Escape. Elite speculation leads a Celebrity Roadmaster like myself to a Rocky regatta conclusion, where the Venture(ist) couldn't see the Horizon.

Is this the CADILLAC of all threads or what?

I've become addicted to this thread. I can't aFORD for it to go away.

bad trip
 

The driver tried to TRAVERSE the rode to SANTA FE looking for the NAVAJO but got lost and wound up in DAKOTA. It seems the EXCERTION wound up a bad EXPEDITION.

Maybe..
 

.. you should Endeavor to get some help for the addiction. ;)

No, SS....
 

Maybe a Duesenberg though. :emb:

What's the record for most posts to a thread?
 

Let's break it.. here is some reference material. :laugh:

Make no Mystique . . .
 

This thread is fueled by the Best Makers of Wordplay!

I echo your sentiment.... X5!

Question of Ownership
 

Question: If nobody claims the Jimmy, does it become the Alton Town's car, or do they have to publish a URL Linc oln their Lost and Found web page?

I just Sentra letter to the town to inquire. I Aspire to be the owner of the Jimmy.

[QUOTE=SteveA;85145]What's the record for most posts to a thread? Let's break it..



I am INTRIGUEd to see if we can all FOCUS on the QUEST

To get there, we will have to have a lot more Volks pulling their end of the Wagon.

What a Rogue
 

The more I thought of it, the more I wondered what kind of Saab story we'll hear when "Jimmy" comes forth. Probably wasn't paying attention because he was looking at an Aurora or watching an Eclipse or some other goofy reason for lack of Focus. At least he didn't dial 911 for help, small Tribute to his Vigor I guess.

My Guess
 

Someone used a coat hanger to Jimmy the lock and took that Giant Motor Coach for a joyride.


Just a theory.... dang teenagers.

I wonder if it could have been....
 

Stutz Bearcat and his buoy's that took Jimmy's attention from the wheel?

Or maybe Avanti just Studebaker'ed him into the Lake?? :look:

I Echo that sentiment, as even while in FL, I had to Dart to the laptop to check.

If it was stuck in the water, he could have at least got out and Porsche

Jimmy did it
 

I enjoyed all the car-toons of sorts that are on this tread. However, I recall a few years ago at the boat ramp in Peggy Cove that a person launched an aluminum row boat with a small moter, was testing it out. Left his cadilac and trailer in the water, He did not put the car completly into park, left the car running and when he got back, his car he thought was gone. But his boat found it, and it landed on the roof. Yup, the car backed down by itself into the water and went under.

:confused:

Where is Jimmy's driver
 

All puns aside, has anyone heard yet who the driver/owner is?

Ugggh!
 

A few more of these puns and I'm going to have a FIT :rolleye2:!

Someone needs to take this thread Outback and put it out of its misery.

Or ... someone with some more bad puns to add to the thread could Escalade it.

Well, I spoke with our intrepid police chief the other day. He tells me they found the guy - his name is Mark Cooper and he had his wife Sierra in the car with him. The story is rather intrigue-ing - a real classic!

Anyhow, according to the chief it sounds like he got to the ridgeline of the summit on Peggy's Cove and he was doing about 80 when a deer jumped out in front of him and he tried to dodge it but the deer was being chased by a lynx. The guy hit his breaks and skidded about five-hundred feet, right into the water. The guy had no clue he was right on the edge of the water.

Mark knew it would take a century to get the car out of the water and didn't want try to be a celebrity by pulling it out himself. He also knew his insurance company would get him a car of a better caliber if he claimed this accident. However, the insurance company is bound to see this charade!

and on it goes
 

At least the the ELEMENTs were favorable for a quick swim. Next time he needs a SCOUT to go ahead and look for HIGHLANDER to drive on. Thanks and keep it roling AMIGOs.

Which seems likely, as it doesn't look like anyone is Tuckered out just yet.

riverat, I am still laughing at that! get out and Porsche!!!!????? That is bad!
These are all pretty funny, Argie's Wife, how long did it take you to come up with you post? If it was me, it would have taken me a long time, I know that!

Yeah, Argies Wife managed to Fuse everything together quite nicely, without adding a lot of conFusion to the thread.

If these car puns were boats we would have quite a FLEET,WOODn't we!

The Sky is the limit ?
 

So you want it to Daihatsoon as possible ?

Maybe if it were more Cherry I could tolerate it.

:)

As I VOLARE through this thread, I wonder, how COMET was a Jimmy in the water?

Please, don't close this thread, whether it be by voice vote, show-of-hands, or executive Fiat.

And so it continues ...
 

Isn't this where we started ? I guess we didn't answer why a Jimmy so much as why it isn't some other SUV. Like a Mercedes ML-350 .... you don't see them in the water much. They get the Benz.

Keeping with the season

Only Chrysler would name their car model for an automotive ignition problem.

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

...the case has been cracked!!!
 

From the Baysider - November 27

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....

Maybe?/
 

The owner doesn't know the car is nissan yet

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.

Goes on and on and on ...
 

You'd have thought this thread would be all Tuckered out by now and yet ....

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

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?

Last rites
 

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

A story like this would never happen in Montego bay.

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

I assume...
 

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

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.
:o

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.

:rolleye2:

...groan .... Will Yugo with him?

Maybe?
 

Jimmy cracked horn and didn't care

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.
