One of the FEW videos I hoped the outcome was good in.
I was wishing they got out!
I wonder what happen after that?

scollins · 06-09-2009, 01:31 AM

Dumbasses. All they really needed to do was dig some of the sand out from under the rocker panels. Since it was sandy, they probably could have done a pretty good job by hand. If that was too hard, find a piece of driftwood and use it. The suspension was at maximum droop, so no matter how good xDrive may be, if the wheels aren't touching down, you aren't moving.....

Lesson is, don't go driving on the beach unless you have a shovel or entrenching tool in the rig....

I'm guessing from watching the vid that those were just a bunch of kids driving their parent's X5 and failed to use some common sense. Gotta love America.

Um no.

The video wasnt takin in the USA,

They are not speaking English, nor does it have American tags. Also, the X5 doesnt have the reflectors on the front bumper.

Gotta love (insert dumb country here)

Lady In Red · 06-09-2009, 11:46 AM

Good job, everything you just said was wrong, except for correctly classifying the vehicle as an X5, and even that was slightly wrong.

ad78 · 06-09-2009, 05:11 PM

Ok, I was wrong and hadn't seen the video since late lastnight. Whats your point? Are you a "mature" kid defending other young drivers who would never do something like this?

Edit: Nevermind, I saw your age.

UncleWede · 06-10-2009, 10:14 AM

Straighten out the front tires, and use those 3 rocks sitting right there!!!!!

solefald · 06-10-2009, 05:18 PM

i was waiting for them to hydrolock the engine. THAT would've been pretty damn funny

drift90 · 06-10-2009, 05:18 PM

i just want to know how the car ended up there =|...

cougfan335 · 06-10-2009, 06:58 PM

Look at all those people just standing around, no one thinks to go grab a log or piece of wood? No one wants to put those large rocks under the tires? The fat wife can't get out and ask a bigger group of people to push? Nope that problem is insolveable, better just walk away now!

In what way was I generalizing too much? Certain facts became apparent like foreign (non American) tags on the car, Non USA vehicle, and very strong accents of some sort which I now know thanks to you to be Turkish. I understand they could be US citizens but with the aforementioned FACTS that can and is not possible.

So please, enlighten me. How was I being ignorant?

If you want to start talking about ignorance maybe you should re-read your post or possibly the post from armybimmerdude.
