I immediately thought “Hey, why is there half a car lying sidewides on the sand?”
Rather than sinking in the sand, I think the car may have toppled over when the sand around it was washed away by the tide. Subsequently, the waves deposited new sand around it.
I think this happened on Fraser Island in Queensland Australia. The island is very popular with 4×4ers, but crossing this creek where it meets the beach is tricky, and there is only a small window between tides when it is possible.
If I were not a Boy Scout, something else I’d rather be… If I were not a Boy Scout, a Girl Scout I would be. And this is what you’d hear me say: Hey there Doctor, Hey there Rookie, come on down and buy a cookie.
Too right mate, I once failed and drowned my Toyota Hilux 4×4 in a river in Mozambique and we just drained the water out, changed the filters and it is still running fine 10 years later
I grew up in Pismo Beach CA. There is a creek just like that running out to the sea and we used to sit up in the sand dunes and watch vehicles get stuck all the time. I’ve seen a few this bad or even worse.
this is from a show called Top Gear. they wanted to see if the truck was indistructable. this part of the test was to submerge it in water and let the tide come in. but needless to say the STEEL CHAINS broke. and they found it like this the next day 4 miles away.
This website may one day experience a lack-of-CAPTCHA-fail.

Fraser island is the largest sand island in the World. check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraser_island
sand with water or air pushed through it, essentially liquefies.

Here is my hunter impression: photoshop

@Homer: doh!
i think the pole up hunter’s ass got pushed in too far…
Thank you to the one who actually linked to my website.
And no, this is not photoshopped.
awww i want to be the duck
Why are people pretending to be me? Am I a homo or something?
This happened on Fraiser Island (as already stated) and is not a photoshop

how did that happen?!
Actually this may be a Parking Fail… If you leave something on a Beach and high tide comes in it gets buried

Wow, quicksand IS quick
But 4×4ing on Fraser was my favorite part of going to Ausrtalia….awesome weekend there
It looks like a sand sculpture to me. I’ve seen them use coloring in the sand at places like Venice beach.
Hey Iain. Fraser Island has naturally coloured sand mate, so you might not be to far off the mark =D
Dig it out, it will run again. It’s a Toyota.

Why would you cut a car in half and lay it on the beach?

looks like Gerroa beach Australia.

Did you even watch that TG episode?
Red Hilux ≠ Grey 4Runner.
oh and it still ran with no new parts. just a good cleaning done on the beach in less than 4 hours
Is that in Two-wheel drive mode?
um, reminds me of that scene in risky business where the car goes into the water.
