You won't believe this Squamish prank
Good morning from the Okanagan — the lake is calm, the vines are growing, and we have things to discuss. So, you know how sometimes you hear about something, and you just think, "Okay, but who *does* that?" Well, this one out of Squamish is going to blow your mind: a red, hollowed-out Volkswagen Beetle, just chilling, suspended on a rock face. And get this: a group claiming to be UBC engineering students are taking credit for it. Seriously, imagine the logistics.
What This Means for Kelowna
Alright, so it's not *in* Kelowna, I know. But here’s why this matters to us, beyond just being a wild story. This kind of creative, slightly unhinged engineering prank? That's pure West Coast spirit, right? It reminds me of the kind of audacious, big-idea energy we have here. We've got students at UBCO doing incredible things, innovators in the tech sector pushing boundaries, and let's be honest, probably a few of our own Rockets alumni who pulled some equally wild, if less structurally ambitious, stunts back in the day. It's that same blend of ingenuity and a touch of "why not?" that I see all over our city.
* **Ingenuity:** The sheer planning for something like this is next level. * **West Coast Vibe:** It's exactly the kind of quirky, outdoor-adjacent story that feels right at home here in BC. * **Local Connection:** It makes you wonder what kind of ambitious, maybe slightly mischievous, projects our own students and creative minds are cooking up right here in the Okanagan.
It’s just a great reminder that sometimes the most interesting things happen when people decide to think way outside the box – or, in this case, way up a rock face. It’s got me thinking about the Ogopogo statue down on the waterfront, and if maybe *he* could use a little more flair, you know?
