colemanapp Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I happened to be flipping channels and was watching a new "reality show' on Discovery Channel called Edge of Alaska. Pretty long segment showing an 83-84 GL Wagon stuck on side of road. Premise was the guy was leaving town and had to catch a flight so he ended up riding a horse to get out of town. Left the GL on the side of the road. I guess it was SCRIPTED reality cuz we all know that GL didn't get stuck in the snow. anybody else catch that?

BirdMobile Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yeah... Would be more believable if they scripted his horse breaking down, so he had to take a GL to catch the flight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooner Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I was watching Alaska, the last frontier last night and around the guy Ottos house you can see an old GL or Loyale. They even had a helicopter shot of the property and i swear i could see a brat? Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibreakstuff Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 It wasn't just "snow" it was deep melting snow and a huge ditch of water. The front half was floating lol. I wondered why they didn't use a horse to pull the old girl out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratman977 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Not to mention the guy was driving it like a total idiot. They showed a pick of bald all season tires somewhere in there as well. I still bet if they threw it in reverse it might have came out. Its all a bunch of crap drama anyway.

Sapper 157 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 "GL"?? "Stuck"?? "Snow"?? Im sorry, but according to my dictionary those words are incapable of being used in the same sentence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethrro Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 It was scripted. No way around it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I have managed to get my GLs / Loyales stuck ocasionally. Older snow that is not powdery light and fluffy will do it. Did see that show. Would have made sense to have the horse pull the car out. Not sure if the steam around the front was just snow on hot parts, or radiator leak...

l75eya Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yes they're great in the snow, but come on people. All jokes aside, they do get stuck lol. When high centered and the wheels aren't touching the ground, we're stuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
