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.

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.

Mee-n-Mac · 11-27-2008, 09:50 AM

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.

hazelnut · 11-27-2008, 10:23 AM

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

Just a theory.... dang teenagers.

trfour · 11-27-2008, 11:48 AM

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
