Who says you're not from Greenwich if you do this?

New resident drives on the beach, gets stuck, and is laughed at on social media.

On the Facebook group “You Know You’re from Greenwich If”, someone posted, “You know you are NOT from Greenwich when…..”

Other comments were generally opinions about the driver’s intelligence.

I suppose I’ll have to concede the point regarding the intelligence of someone attempting to drive on a beach in a regular car, but “not from Greenwich”? Ha! It’s long been a tradition among idiot teens.

I recall leaving St. Paul’s midnight service on Christmas Eve back in, I don’t know, 1969? 1970? and heading down to Tod’s Point in Teddy Sumner’s VW Bug — we skirted the gate and had a grand time zooming up and down the flats. Unfortunately, a number of us thought to repeat the experience a few days later in my own VW bus, but didn’t take into account that there had been a thaw during the intervening days.

So we got stuck. After a fruitless period of digging, we walked down to a friend’s house on Lockwood Avenue where we knew a party was going on, and recruited six-or-so of the biggest guys, who returned with us and just lifted the bus back to dry land. Other than having to duck down as the GPD made its regular patrol pass-bys, all went smoothly, and we returned to the party and continued the evening.

So my sympathies to this BMW owner, though I hope it was his 16-year-old kid who was in the car, and not he.
