I've seen more than just a few Mexicano vehiculos errmm, shall we say.... STUCK over the years in many ways. A few years back, was having some
brewskies at Buenaventura, and the Army pulled in, asking to borrow a tow chain; seems they got a HUMMER stuck out at the south end of the Bay and had
no tow-straps or chains; they were very grateful for the assistance.
My favorite gringo response/saying is, "Ya'd THINK.... " micah202 - 7-7-2014 at 10:17 AM

An officer who was employed by the San Felipe Police Dept. was on the Pta. Bufeo playa some years back and was chewing out some folks who were
illegally camped. It was a super low tide and his truck was parked, idling, on the wet sand, and the tide was rising.
I went down to warn him that an idling vehicle would sink. I tried to politely interrupt his monologue (in Spanish) only to be rebuffed with gestures
and words to indicate that I was interfering with his duties as an enforcer of the law.
When he raised his voice to me on my second attempt, I shrugged my shoulders and walked back up to our house to get my camera and long-ranch lens
ready.
Yep. His truck sank and sank some more. He was stuck. (Yes, DK, the truck's tires had been aired down.)
The tide rose to the point about like that of the truck in the OP's photo. Fortunately, one of our neighbors had a tractor and was able to extricate
the officer from impending doom.
I took photos (pre-digital days) and when the officer finally drove up on the beach, he calmly walked over to me, stuck his hand out as if to shake my
hand, and then took my camera. He opened the back, took out the film, and got in his truck without another word.

Great story, absolutely worth the cost of a roll of film.
