Help, Max got stuck on the beach, entire front bumper up in sand!!!

Hey guys...SO it's 7pm tonight and im broke as hell so me and my girfriend decide to go to misquamicut (sp!) in Rhode Island. Well we're in the back roads and drive in a isolated part of the beach with nothing around. basicly car got stuck. in fact so deep in my front wheel rim was only out about 2 inches on top and the rest down was under sand. tried everything, after 1 hr. saw some people "wheeling" in jeeps who pulled me out. I'm wondering what could have gotten MESSED up in the max if it was so deep in, front was deep in up to bottom of front license plate. thanks in adv!

the obvious..

check your intake/air filter for sand... change if needed..

check for sand in your radiator, clean as needed

I buried a Jeep once.. it was sinking as we tried to get it loose. scary. took a bulldozer to get it out. and $10 in quarters at the car wash to get all the sand out of everything. Some got in the wheel bearings in the back as they failed about a week later. I dont think you will have that with the max tho.

I'd worry about the suspension

and the seat cushions... I mean, it sounds like they're taking a beating to get the car to sink 14", so either shocks or seat will need to be replaced soon!

By the way, what were you and your girlfriend doing on a deserted beach, anyway?
