Well it was super nice here today. Had a rough day at work last night as some knew. So i firgured that going out and taking a few pics or the car in areas would be nice...well it started that way and went just like my tour at the fire station did last night...(started good..went to shit FAST!!)

this is the point that they say is the beginning of Northern Ontario and Canada (right at this arch)



this is the tour boat on Lake Nipising that docks at the local Marina/waterfront.



Then i managed to convince one of the local Police to let me take the car on the beach edge to get a few pics in the sand...well this is where things started to go shitty fast.



Trying to get out was well interesting lol






And these pics were taken the minute i got out of the car when she just bottomed out a little and tires spuns so fast in the soft beach sand. It took almost an hour and a half with a spaid shovel and a comalong to get myself out.
And don't ask why I have them in my car lol...and yes dumb Canuck, In my defense I am use to snow way up here in the north and not beach sand lol..(thats my story and i'm sticking to it lol)

I'm sorry but that made me roffle..

I know...I will say it for everyone. his ass for this!

Thats awesome! Now tell me what happened to your passenger side

LOL..thought i told once before....

But let`s just say the gf isn`t as careful as me and kinda drove it into a huge icy snow bank and just destroyed part of the front bumper and haven`t gotten a new one yet.

Gonna get a new on on by spring tho.

haha niceee

your tellin me..it`s $250 for a new one with out the crome parts around the grill, no black grill parts, no badges, and no fog lights... then ti`s gonna cost me about 150 to paint...so yeah kinda pissed at her and don`t really let her drive that much no more lol.

But she`s been accepted into the Canadian Military today so she is gonna be leaving for about 3months and well...she plans on getting a minivan...yuuuuk!!! i will keep to my neon lol

i have spare honeycomb grille if you want it

Oh shit I just noticed the fubar bumper

How the hell do you dig your car in teh sand like that, way too much wheelspin I suppose. Looks like you are close to the grass too, usually the sand is a bit firmer?

Beautiful scenery though.

Taking pictures of a completely stock looking car or getting stuck in the sand...which is funnier

this is why i will never do beach pics

oh dude that sucks lol car is in need of some lovin

If you put the car in "2" if it's ATX or second if it's MTX you could have eased your way out of there easily. Just like snow. Did the cop stick around for your shoveling show?

LSP, you recently had a sandy beach photoshoot and this didn't happen to you lol.

Radar, that does suck, but it was quite funny.

And the bumper costs too damn much. If only you were located closer to a certifit store.

not bad just another stocker! lol jk man

Here is a tip !!
If you get stuck in sand, snow or mud you can use your car mats.
It's not a bad ideal !!

Living in North Bay you should be very used to beach sand... given Lake Nippissing and all the beaches!

Ah.. I bet that was fun and a lot of hard work getting unstuck. Carting around tire wide planks of plywood in the car might also help on sand... toss those in there too. LOL

ALL those shots look very familiar to me... having spent a good amount of time in North Bay and being a former driver for Pro-North.

Do you remember when the road used to go under those arches?

I was doing the just let her pull herself out but she got to where she was and it was a uphill angle and i just tried a light touch of the gas to keep the momentum to the grass and she just spun cause that sand was so so so soft. if you look the back tires were even digging down in the sand.

I know it`s stock but I just wanted some nice pics of here since I have all my other toys and never get time for `christine`.

I do have plans on fixing the bumper but as you all know i bought my supermotto and am having a real hard time getting a new bumper for $250 kinda holding off to find a used one that good around here for cheaper.

Your girl should get a jeep grand cherokee from the looks of getting stuck in the sand.

That way you have a badass 4x4 "minivan"

LOL i'm trying to convince her for a Ford F-350 Super Duty "harley davidson" edition.

*palmface*

No fords!

Man i have drove them all and i had a bad accident in a F250 super duty crew cab...TOTALED the van i hit (put the rear hatch in the van to touch the headliner) and all i got was a 2" scratch on the truck. I love Ford trucks and they have been the most reliable i've ever had.

Still a ford.

You should get the new dodge ram, its sex.

/end

I like them..just the frame payload is not quit good enough for me. The fiance and I have a 5th wheel camper but it's at a camp site for now cause we don't have a truck to haul it and the only two trucks that i'd own to do that payload on not have to go dualie is a F-350 and a dodge (the engine) but the frames aren't a duarable as the Ford so thats why ultimately it has to be a Ford...

damn sand can be tricky, I just rocked the car back and forth and got some speed.

Im not to far from a certifit, I can see what the bumpers go for and ship it up to you, but the $150 might be cheaper.

I know...but hey, live and learn right? ...and sent you a pm about the bumper thing there Matt

good call but if there was a peice of wood or anything your supposed to put it under the tire so you can get out

LOL, Yeah an old guy that helped me said the same damn thing...fuck i feel like a tard...firefighters are suppose to provide the help not need it lol

I forgot to mention, wooohoo canadain beaver

Oh dear god man..you'd be the only one to think that eh?..want me to set you up on a date?
