Stuck in the Muck

May 29, 2008

This was a hilarious fiasco of good off-road fun gone wrong in Cedarvale Ravine. When Police arrived the next day to investigate, they brilliantly tried to drive in – got stuck and blew their transmission trying to use the gas pedal to get out of the situation. HaHaHa.Then the tow truck got stuck.Then 3 tow trucks got stuck. If you have other pictures of this hilarious comedy we’d love to hear from you.
