Lol I guess someone forgot to check when the high tide was coming in. This happened early this morning in ME. Be on the lookout for a "slightly used Bronco" on Carvana. o_O

It looks like they tried to recover it before the tide came in.

I'm sure there will be an environment cleanup charge with all the oil and fluids in the bay now. They should also charge him for not having corrective eyewear because there's clearly a Warning sign there.

Dear Ford ,
Please send Broncos to the people that will love and cherish them.

P.S. , my July 2020 reservation would be a nice place to start .
My friends wife has a day 2 reservation. She just got her VIN and build date about 10 days ago. She has a fully loaded Badlands 2 dr with every parts constraint there is. lol It's "supposed" to be built May 16th and they said expect delivery around the end of June. Of course anything can change but so far it's looking good that these 2 dr Broncos are finally getting built.

I'm pretty adventurous in my Ranger and hit lots of water/trails many others will not, but am fully respectful of ocean tidal forces and the dangers they bring. I'd have to be in a real bad way to challenge a 1.5 hour window on submerged sand, with a ~8 foot unstoppable flood as the penalty, unless I had a large capable group ready and willing to drag me out immediately.

That is just nuts.

I cancelled my reservation and got my Ranger Tremor instead.

What percentage of new broncos have already been destroyed :) . I saw this happen with H1s back in the day in Glamis sand dunes. Then again with Raptors. Nothing is indestructible, also nothing stops stupid.

I still have mine. I figure what the hell it's only a $100 deposit and now it's a quest to see how long it'll actually take to get one. I bet I find one on a dealers lot before mine is made. :sadface:

No. I don't think I've seen that happen before. Must have been the thread on shocks that caused the loss of words. Rest up and I'm sure you'll be yourself tomorrow.
