My last time on a ferry, I had just picked up my Thing from the shipping terminal. I sliced my Thumb open while trying to break the ignition because the shipping company broke the key. Then the real kicker was I ran out of gas while pulling into the boat. Bi had to have the Ferry guy push me off the boat with their truck.

Needless to say, I haven't been on a ferry with a dub since.

Oh wait, I took my Bus on a ferry once... My flywheel fell off and had to get towed back home from Seattle. (Thank you AAA)

Scrolling back through the challenges "waterfall" seemed to stall the thread (but so did "covered bridge"), let's also try your VW near/under a train trestle, extra extra bonus points if you can get both trestle & waterfall.

here you go. Had to look up what a tresle was so I wouldn't just get near any train bridge.

There's no waterfall in the pic but just in front of my bug there is a ditch that kind of has a waterfall in it. If I went any further on that side I would've got stuck.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Next: Your VW with one of these things or any other type of INFLATABLE attention getter. It can be holiday related as well, just not your front yard.
the flappy arm things are usually at new car dealerships or big events.

This doesn't count, since it's an old (late 1970s) photo, but there is Smokey Bear and a home-made dimming mirror (and in the far right, in the background and blurry, is Clementine back when it was my dad's).
