Day 2 Update - The early Easter Sunday morning attempt to pull the White Ford Bronco from the sandbar failed, with the 3 inch tow rope snapping. Check out the video of the car and at the end, the attempted removal

Bet he’s thinking ”maybe I should have gone for the winch”. AAA’s just gonna say, “Nu-uh, sorry”.

This is why the alternator needs to be higher

Someone didn't move in time for high tide

Well at least the can sell the MIC top (maybe) for $5k and then scrap the rest.

I was just about to share this, but was checking because I thought someone had probably beat me to it. From reports online, this was in Bar Harbor, Maine. The driver was out doing donuts and got stuck. Rumor is they missed the sandbar and were actually driving on a mud flat.

They tried to recover it before the tide came in, but I guess it wasn't successful.

That must’ve been an extremely painful thing to watch…

Hard lesson learned.

Very visible oil/gasoline slick coming off of it. Wouldn't be surprised to see the owner get a nasty environmental fine to add to the huge recovery bill they'll be getting. Then insurance denying coverage since they intentionally drove it there will be the final kick in the nuts. Hopefully they're wealthy.

Looks like it was posted in the regional forum for ME.

From the story linked in the first post, it has New Jersey plates.

Shoulda got a Badlands with wash out interior. Rookie mistake.

When I drive my rig to the sandbar and leave it overnight, I can simply come back in the morning, kick the fish out and spray it down. Keeps on truckin'
