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

[Janet P]

Lost at sea am I.
Not seeing past a first step.
But lots of time left!

[Henry Paul]

Hanging with Isaac, reminiscing about all the vehicles we've owned in our lifetime... no clue on how to get to that shore.
CLEARLY not the same "Dude, where's my car?" puzzle from last September!

[Jeanrosz]

I have a valid solve but not as elegant as most have been. I think I’m on shore but maybe the wrong or right island.??

[mheberlingx100]

At sea. Just not seeing it. Embarrassing as I worked for car companies for 32 years.

This one appears to be driving down a road less traveled for a solution.

Road? What road? I am in the cornfield somewhere.

[Tina]

Dude, I'm lost at sea. Bummer.

You have lots of company!

[turbotron]

Well, I found a very clear trail that led me.. into a state of utter consternation. Another round, please, Isaac!

[zelq]

First attempt here and I'm nowhere near water.

[CromsFury]

I saw a thing and landed on a beach.

Then I realized the car I found is Japanese!


I'M ON THE WRONG BEACH!!!

Grid solved, something seen... but not leading to any ahas. I'm sitting with the rabbits at the bar.

[TeaJenny]

Where's the road, Rabbit?!

Inspiration struck and I have found a beach with a namesake American vehicle.. but how popular does a car need to be before it is "noted"? I wasn't aware of this one before Googling, so I'll keep cruising around for a better-looking beach.

[HeadinHome]

if anyone’s willing to hear my so-far thoughts, I’d love a gentle nudge. Gaffney out soon; it’s unusual not to have laid the WSJ to rest before tackling that one! Like others, I thought I saw a quick answer forming as I filled in the grid, but then it completely broke down into jibberish.

will try to join the 4:30 zoom if work allows and still floundering.

update: okay, hold your fire; I have a couple helpers.

Got it — tanks for the nudges, muggle friends !

[minimuggle]

Still at the bar but it is so crowded I can't get a drink. Had an idea but can't make it work.

[Bob cruise director]

Good Friday afternoon. A bit late as I was putting up a trellis but I have not missed much

We have a crowded ship with 25 at the bar and only 24 on the shore.

And we have three new muggles - ray, zelq and Meta Muser.

Now back to work

[Cuse]

On shore, all made sense after correcting some small mistakes I made in the fill

Yes. Sadly, Okinawa is the wrong beach. Enjoy your Kirin and then back to the ship4u.

[ship4u]

ashore4us thanks to a nudge from a fellow muggle. We had the first part but the second part was very tricky, er, um, clever. It took a while but we finally got it! I'll be there for the zoom today and looking forward to getting together with other muggles!

Yes. Sadly, Okinawa is the wrong beach. Enjoy your Kirin and then back to the ship4u.

I see what you did there.
