"Dude, Where's My Car?" - April 22, 2022

#1

Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's contest is titled "Dude, Where's My Car? by Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week's contest is a noted American car of the past or present

I have not seen the answer but if the car is unusual, maybe we can arrange a special award to a muggle who owned this car and after the contest closes, post a picture of it on the forum.

Good luck on the grid and the meta

On Naboo. I do prefer a podracer, especially for driving on sand! ;)

Found my car at the shore party.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Ashore.

Update: There's a chance I'm not on the right shore.

Second update: smarter solvers than I have confirmed I'm not anywhere near the shore. Ah well.

Solved. Told my husband at 4:30 this was the perfect answer. Took awhile to find it.

Ok, with some help, I’ve crawled up onto the beach. The cabana boy is reading his book club selection as business is a bit slow.

Like many others, I got the hook right away and expected a quick solve. Not so fast.... We're four hours in and still on page one?! It's looking like a long weekend at sea.

Finally on shore. At first I thought it would be easier.
We're still on page 1 this late at night.

Ashore. Late getting here due to 6 year old baseball practice. Shocked to be on page 1.
