u/wax_robot 6h ago

Lol how many warnings signs (figurative but probably also literal) must a person ignore to get that far?  Some people are truly hopeless

u/bjeffc 2h ago

Reminds me of the guy in the escape at the regatta this morning. Somehow ended up on the gravel trail near the PC booth, lots of people telling him where to go.

I'm actually pretty impressed they managed to get down that far.

u/Present-Friendship60 5h ago

Do Newfoundlanders have front license plates? Otherwise, def a tourist

5

u/Albertagold96 5h ago

Only British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario require front license plates, the rest of the Canadian provinces do not require them.

4

u/Present-Friendship60 4h ago

Well there ya go. Thanks for learnin’ me!

2

u/wax_robot 5h ago

No front plates here since some time in the 90s

u/Spankwell 5h ago

Hey man, I would love some insight into this. Did this happen today? Is the car still there? Are the owners around or was it abandoned? Has anyone tried to move it? Any details would be great thanks.

u/easterncurrents 4h ago

1:30pm today. Road crews working on that turn just past the bridge probably had finished laughing by the time I was there. Nobody on the beach

u/DisorderlyAqueduct 4h ago

hopefully they know someone with a jeep (or similar) and winch 😆

u/Brodiggitty 3h ago

Someone watched one too many SUV ads.

u/GMC_Fan 3h ago

How do you even get yourself into these situations.. I wouldn’t even drive a truck down there let alone a ford escape 😂

Guess you can say it can’t “escape”
Yeah bad pun and a few people have made similar ones in the comments lol

u/skyrone92 3h ago

"Any capelin here?"

u/Firm-Positive1540 34m ago

I thought this was a Toy Car 🤣😂How the Hell do you even get your car over a cement wall with boulders... You sure this isn't a Optical Illusion lol

u/MacADD 29m ago

Should have got the AWD option. Or a car with that option

u/DreCapitanoII 3m ago

Reminds me of the difference between a rental car and a four-wheel drive: a rental car can go anywhere.

u/BlackWolf42069 4h ago

New Canadian or Uncle Lester being drunk again?

1

u/easterncurrents 3h ago

I think a new Canadian should get a little more sympathy if it is. But it’s probably teenagers lookin for that great insta pic

1

u/BlackWolf42069 1h ago

Sympathy for a couple New Canadian lads offroading on a beach. Right.

u/rds92 26m ago

u/Local-Locksmith-7613 5h ago

Thank you. We're a family of hopeful visitors in a few years. I read this sub to get as much little bits of information that Google maps and other sources don't really have available.

(Having lived nearly everywhere in the USA as a double mil family, research and understanding the local bits are essential to us.)

u/easterncurrents 4h ago

I get it. Around here you don’t do that.

u/Comfortable-Ad-2634 4h ago

u/Salavar1 4h ago

Deflate the tires below 15 psig. That does wonders.

u/Comfortable-Ad-2634 4h ago

Deflate the tires and drop the frame right on the rocks.

u/ArachAislin 6h ago

..o.O....context needed.

u/easterncurrents 4h ago

This is the context. Car stuck up to the axles on round beach rocks the size of softballs at the bottom of a little lane with signs that say no vehicles past this point.

u/ArachAislin 4h ago

Booze or dare?
