Thanks for bringing that up Ben



Not only did I get it stuck, but I got it stuck where the path was narrow and no one could get around, AND it took 3 other Soobs to pull me free

The way it was belly up on the sand, I could have pulled off all 4 wheels without a jack.

Dave (I'd like to see a Focus SVT do any better)
Though a Hummer is rather hard to get stuck... With the right driver

Avoid the sand! I thought it would be fun to tack my Loyal (when it was stock) out to the beach one day. Just happend to be the day after 5inch of snow fell......It fun to go down to the beach roads, they never plow them becouse nobody lives there in the winter. Anyway, I drove all the way down the beach road and on to the beach to enjoy the purdy ocean, but as I was making my way back up to the road I just felt the surface let go and that was it. I was sitting on frame rails befor I had a chance to react. I started to attemp to dig my way out with a sled That wasn't working. Thankfully some dude on a 4 wheeler came over and then went to get his truck, he returned soon enough and pulled me out. Not really a great moment in my life

Avoid the sand!

I live in Florida, and i used to hit Daytona beach every week with my SVX. Never had one ounce of trouble....Until..... Yeah, genius me tried to go out toward ormand beach, which at the time had really soft sand...Oh yeah even though i had take my car into sand at least 20 times before to the same place, i got stuck. Not only did i get stuck, but i spun all 4 wheels about 6 inches under sand, i was burried up to my front bumper
Lucky for me some guys were around and pushed me out. It took 3 of them and old man river digging with his cane to get me out! And i had drive in reverse all the way back to the harder sand!!
