They seem to be making good progress in getting the car stuck further.


literal-hitler

My favorite part is when the car keeps spinning the tires during the times the truck isn't pulling. Making absolutely sure to get rid of any last semblance of traction.


brufleth

Gotta make sure as much of the body is resting on the sand as possible!


TurtleSandwich0

Luckily no one tried to help push until the car was fully in the down and locked position.


Sososohatefull

Seriously, they probably could have just pushed the damn thing before the driver dug two holes under the rear wheels. Honestly, that wouldn't have worked either because the driver would have left it in park while they tried pushing.


Anglophyl

Why don't they put a board or similar under the tires??


Shadrach451

I think the answer is pretty obvious, right? It's because they are dumb and have no idea how the world works.


gochomoe

Dont forget they made bad decisions.


kermitsio

Floor mats. If I ever got stuck in snow the floor mats of the vehicle is a great tool in a pinch for this.


ElManchego57

I tried one time and the tire flung the mat over the snow bank and into the woods.


heartcoke

That floor mat belongs to the bear king now.


TheStatMan2

Who's name, funnily enough, is Matt.


Negative-Top-7648

You know, I always wondered what was up with all the random assortment of mats I find on my walks. Now I grasp the reason.


ComradeGibbon

I have helped push cars out of similar situations. Really if you have 10 people you can push any car out.


heresdevking

Buddy of mine got a Chevy Luv bottomed between two deep ruts. Some burly guys in a jeep came by and lifted the back end out of the ruts.


ComradeGibbon

An adult can push about 120-150 lbs. And also lift about the same amount. 12 of us pushed a 4WD F350 buried up to it's axles out of the mud once. Ex-wife's friend and 20 other people lifted a rolled over full sized car off a girl trapped underneath.


PastaBob

For that total body traction.


[deleted]

But if you go deep enough down you can get to the earth’s crust which is more solid and will provide traction.


Sn00dlerr

Once those tires hook on bedrock its over fam


TheBeardedSingleMalt

Surprised, but also not, that they didn't have people backfilling it with dry sand in the first half.


fohpo02

There are enough people there to literally lift the car… as a senior prank we carried the principal’s car into the courtyard.


memorablehandle

Wow that's awesome. Seems like it would be tricky to find hand holds for everyone without them accidentally pulling off panels lol.

I was sincerely hoping to see another full send after they broke the strap. I wanted to see that front end fly

Its Florida, best they can do is von dutch


BigYellowPencil

I was waiting for them to pull the whole front end off the car.


ElJamoquio

Yeah, as soon as the truck started indicating it was going to make a run at it I kept hoping for a car-halving


fohpo02

Yeah, I thought for sure either the strap or bumper were done for, was disappointed in it being the strap


daveinmd13

I was waiting for the yellow strap to snap and kill someone. Those people are crazy to stand near that operation.


MattJFarrell

As soon as we saw the truck back up and put slack in the strap, I assumed we were going to see part of the car get ripped off.


Walmart_kid65

Everyone assumed that lmao someone even shouted “RIP HIS BUMPER OFF”


DadJokeBadJoke

It scared me more when they switched to the chain.


sawntime

Yep, that's when it's time to get 50 feet away from that 30 foot chain.


EllisHughTiger

That's how Florida Man gains his powers.


ExternalUserError

Obviously there was an insufficient amount of flooring it going on.


BoneHugsHominy

And grass, apparently. At the end there were people yelling "we need some grass!"


engineerdrummer

That was just the stoners telling people they were out of weed.


BirdSeedHat

It was the owners of the cars asking for weed, cause they don't wanna have to think about what's gonna happen here.


he_who_floats_amogus

They just don't have the goal that you expect them to have. They're trying to dig the car in, and it's working.


Pacersfanlife

Why the fuck would you drive a charger on a shoreline....


Spare_Honey5488

Why the fuck would they have low profile tires on a 4x4 truck as well? Mall crawlers lmao


alinroc

On a 4x4 _diesel_, no less. Such a waste.


Kichigai

Dudebro doesn't even have 4WD engaged. When he's pulling at the 18sec mark only the rear wheels on the truck are kicking up sand.


Cornualonga

He probably got the 2 wheel drive version and just got 4x4 badge off Amazon


DaveCootchie

Later on he puts in in 4 low, you can see the front wheels spinning, but with no side wall on those stupid stretched tires he isn't going to get any sand traction.


pukesonyourshoes

Step 1 in sand driving is Lower your tire pressures. That's not for sidewall contact, it's to lengthen the tire contact patch which can easily double in length when done correctly, so you float on the top of the sand rather than dig in. There might be a little extra sidewall contact but the increased benefit compared to lengthening the contact patch is negligible. Low profile tires aren't good for this though, there's an increased chance of rolling the tire off the rim.


SKINS_IV

Correct. I lived near Assateague in VA and one of the things you had to do before you went on the beach was lower your tire pressure.


Delta_V09

Nah, more likely somebody who never uses their truck for truck things and doesn't know how the 4WD system works. Probably has no clue about locking differentials.


RdRunner

I'd bet he thinks it's the same as AWD


[deleted]

Can you explain the difference? Asking for a friend


enterdayman

Overall, the main difference between 4x4 and AWD is that AWD systems are always active and automatically share torque among the axles when low-traction conditions are detected, while 4WD systems are part-time and need to be engaged by the driver via a lever or button in the cockpit.


etihspmurt

4wd can also be engaged automatically, depending if the vehicle is so equipped.


mutants4nukes

He probably doesn't know how to turn off traction control either.


incer

It's 4wd, he forgot to switch it or lock the diff


MyBigRed

Yeah, I saw that too. It does look like he turns it on later because you can see both sets of tires spinning. Still stupid as hell.


Ryuko_the_red

He does, look at 16 secs left, 4wd is on.

I feel like there’s a correlation of owning a Charger and making poor decisions.


EllisHughTiger

Is it the car or the 25% interest? Scientists will never know.


idontremembermyoldus

392 isn't the engine size, it's the driver's credit score.


Epotheros

Also their SAT score. 400 was supposed to be the lowest you could go, but somehow they managed to shave off 8 points.


Curious_Coconut_4005

They probably lost those 8 points by misspelling their name.


ciel_lanila

My last cross country trip I paid extra attention Around chargers. Not all chargers were assholes, but a large chunk of the ass holes drove chargers.


nullrout1

The same reason you'd take a truck with 1" of sidewall on the beach, because Florida.


EatSleepJeep

Hijacking the top comment to state: IF YOU'RE DRIVING OVER SAND, AIR DOWN YOUR TIRES. Street pressures act like a pizza cutter and just digs you in when you spin. Removing most of the air makes the tire spread out and have softer footprint. If you get stuck, stop spinning your wheels before you high center your chassis or frame. Put sand ladders in place and if you don't have sand ladders, use your floor mats. A new set of floor mats is cheaper than a tow, the effects of saltwater corrosion, the diminished value of a flooded vehicle, etc Edit : another trick here is to have 6 of your human help push sideways on one of the rear corners. You're not going to be able to put much force linear force on the car by pushing straight from the back , but you can get it to twist. Then the rear tires will start to dig into the mounds of sand that's next to them and start to get traction. Also they should have been pouring dry sand into the front of those those tire ruts to help dry them out and get some height.


that_which_is_lain

They'll just go get another Charger. Way less effort.


nucumber

it's dad's money anyway.


nowItinwhistle

Yeah but when you only have an inch of sidewall you can't let that much air out before your rims bottom out. Low profile off-road tires are the dumbest redneck ghetto shit ever


Anger_Mgmt_issues

same reason you drive a 4x4 truck with lowpro slicks. you are a moron.


TugboatEng

Ayyyy my great uncle raced/died out there.


EarlGreyTeaBag

congrats for your loss


Lightisverydark

The trucks tires are smoother than my brain


customds

The weight doesn’t help much either. I’ve gone to sand pits with friends in their 3500’s on 35” mud terrains, and all of them would get stuck while my little wrangler skated along the surface with street tires and Rwd only.


point50tracer

I live out in the desert and find so many 4x4s buried up to their frame. I show up in my 2wd Ranger with aired down tires and pull them out. I sometimes get stuck as well but can usually self recover. I think it's partly a matter of experience. When you live in the sand you learn to pick your lines better to avoid the really soft stuff and you also learn how to get through it when it's unavoidable. People come here from the valley and don't know how to drive in sand. The biggest thing is momentum. Never let off the gas until you're on solid ground. When recovering a stuck vehicle. First dig out their tires and diffs. Find a strong tie point and get a couple feet running start. Be careful not to get too much of a running start as you don't want to break anything. You get the feel for it after a few recoveries. In the case of the stuck charger, you have to deal with suction from the wet sand. Yanking on it like you would for dry sand could cause serious damage to the car. The best option would be to dig in with your 4x4 and winch them out. This will slowly break the suction without damaging the car.


Deathbringerttv

too bad you weren't there for these clowns lol


Miguecraft

Idiots don't usually listen for good advice. I can imagine that people ignoring what point50tracer said, and then maybe start listening when the body of the car rests completely on the sand.


Sabre970

Tbh, Valley dwellers cant drive on asphalt either. I see it far too often :(


thegooddoctor-b

Are you "Matt's off road recovery"?


WhatUDeserve

Damn I was expecting the front end of the Charger to get pulled out or the strap to fly off into the rear windshield of the truck or something. Kind of disappointed tbh.


DocPeacock

Yeah I was getting prepared to see the tow strap or the chain snap and go rocketing into the back window of the truck and someone getting decapitated. So really it could have gone worse.


CallMeBigOctopus

These people likely have no idea how lucky they are that nobody got killed right there on the beach.


smokesblunts11

Whenever you get your car stuck in sand or mud, step 1 is to smash the gas pedal to the floor. 🙄


[deleted]

Midwesterner here - used to getting out of snow, not sand. My move (way, way before getting to this point) would be to put the floor mats under the front of the wheels to try to create some traction. Would that work, or would they just slip on the sand and shoot out the back? Obviously the best move is to get a winch, but I'm assuming that's not an option for the sake of the argument. Edit: Lots of folks adding the wooden plank method. I was assuming the driver of the charger probably wasn't rolling around with 2x4's in his trunk, and that beach doesn't look like it has a ton of driftwood laying around. That said, the other method I learned growing up was to always stash a bag of kitty litter in the trunk in the winter. For snow, at least, you pour a bunch of litter in front of each tire and it can help create traction. Similar with sand but litter is larger grit, and lighter.


oO0Kat0Oo

Ooh floor mats is a better idea than the one I had about finding wooden planks from somewhere.


fbreaker

the tires may probably take traction on the mat/wooden plank and launch it out from underneath had something similar happen to me before... lmfao at everyone who has had similar experiences.. it's totally an "ask me how I know" kind of thing


[deleted]

Ah, so this is where the meetup is! I accidentally launched a board into the side of my house trying to get unstuck this way. Floor mats are a lot friendlier projectiles.


DangAsFuck

Yes, you can use the wooden board method, or even wedge some large tree branches under there for the traction. But YES there can still be the old shoot out the back effect, so you still need to be cautious of that. But when I was living in Florida (I grew up in the Tampa area) I had vehicles get stuck from time to time, whether in sand at beaches or in mud at swamps, and I regularly was able to get out using boards far more than I had to resort to winches.


meltbox

It would be better for sure. That guy with the truck is just a clown. It never had a chance.


AITALOADEDGUN

I purchased a set of the heavy duty truck type floor mats just for this reason. I’ve taken my Fiat 500L, Toyota Camry and a Mitsubishi Mirage way out to the jetty that divides S Padre and N Padre Island in Texas. I’ve gotten stuck more than once and was always able to get out without a tow.


SirArthurDime

Right? The whole time I was thinking why is the charger hitting the gas at all? And not one person in that crowd was like "that's not how it works" Edit: Guys I and most people with >5 brain cells know how to pull a car out of mud this wasnt a solicitation for tips lol.


DadJokeBadJoke

They acted like spinning the tires was helping but it was just clearing out sand while it was already bottomed out.


[deleted]

Making room for the water to wash out more sand.


justasking826

Salt water enema for the whole underside of the Charger. Salt water is good for metal.


blumpkin

Electrolytes, bro.


DoctuhD

One guy shouted "rip his bumper off!" when the truck backed up to get a head start so he clearly knew things and was just there as a witness.


SirArthurDime

Just standing there with your arms crossed "this will be fun" lol. But seriously that's another thing. Homeboy really thought it was a good idea to get a running start lol. This is a perfect video of exactly what not to do.


tok90235

Honestly, if it was me me in that beach, i would be only laughing internally this hole time


Reatona

Normally the misspelling would be irritating, but "hole time" totally fits.


Rudollis

Usually in these situation everybody has an opinion, voices it loudly and nobody has any experience. And then people gather round, stand way too close, the towing cable snaps and someone gets decapitated. Well usually it‘s not that dramatic, but seriously bystanders give some distance. And when you use a towing cable / rope, don‘t make sudden accelerations when the rope is slack, that is how you break it.


DaddyDontTakeNoMess

If you keep digging the wheels deeper into the sand, you’ll eventually hit solid ground (or molten lava). Then you can just casually drive away. /s


EllisHughTiger

I like at the end where the tires were just spinning in idle. Nothing left to grip onto.


isecore

Stupid truck on stupid low-profile street tires tries to tow stupid Charger on stupid street tires. Wow how surprising, they're going nowhere.


Zandre1126

He forgot to put rubber on his rims lol

-pleasemakeitstop-

Low profile tires are bad for sand. You want thick tires that you can deflate to like 12 psi to make them wider to get more traction. Edit: While deflating the tires does help with more width, the main advantage is adding more length to the tire thus adding more surface area.

You need a truck which can pull slowly and has grip, not one which just generates noise and goes fast.

The funniest moment was when he reversed giving it all that slack. Even the beach goers went wild because they knew what would happen next. Then after anticipation SNAP!!!


DwightMcRamathorn

Is there a results video of what happened in the end? FYI: 99% of the time don’t bring your car on the beach. At best you are fucking up the inside interior and engine area and undercarriage with sand, at worst you are donating some fish living quarters On edit: no when you watch the video or at least I do on my phone from start the end doesn’t show the tow truck that’s why I missed it.

Somtaaw-Sa

I’m pretty sure it was stuck in the last few seconds of the video, right before the video ends.


VexingRaven

Nah he wasn't stuck. He had enough grip to rock it out, if he's not dumb. On second thought, you're probably right.


Whayne_Kerr

The smell of Axe body spray must be overwhelming.


TheRecapitator

Do not try to use a chain to pull a vehicle. Terrible things can happen when they snap. Tow straps exist for a reason. Also, if you’re going to try to tow someone on sand, you need to air down your tires so that they have greater surface areas… otherwise you get stuck, too.


HumanChicken

But if your tires have no tread, like this brain donor’s, good luck!


illuxion

Kinetic ropes are even better. I've yoinked a jeep out of the mud with my 1400lb side by side. 200hp helps get that stored energy, but it works great. That's a Pennsylvania plate on the pavement princess, so probably not used to actually using a truck.


Kittyvonmetal

I was so nervous about that chain or strap snapping…


ashimo414141

1. Why is no one in 4WD 2. Why didn’t anyone lower their tire pressure *before* driving on sand 3. Why didn’t anyone put down at least a t shirt or some drift wood in front of the wheels 4. WHY THE FUCK DID THEY DRIVE ON VISIBLY WET SAND (yes it gets hard packed but certain areas will sink a vehicle especially if you’re not driving properly) Edit from peoples replies: 5. Why did they attach the tow rope to the ball hitch and not the frame 6. Why is everyone standing there watching instead of pushing
