My friend shared this with me about two days ago. He told me he found it while doing a Google search. I thought he was going to post it here, but he didn't. It's too cool not to share! I hope I didn't steal his thunder!

If this was suppose to be "our thing", I'm going to feel really bad for sharing it!

Yikes! That'll be fun to explain to an insurance company...

They made it look so easy for a Jeep Cherokee to escape quicksand in this commercial (there may be an unrelated commercial before this commercial. For the Jeep commercial, you have to turn up the volume):

But then, the one in the commercial was a 1996 model, while the one in the photo was 1988 or earlier. :P

I've heard if you sink a vehicle past the frame rails in that stuff it's basically a write-off. Unless you're going to pay $$$$ to get a back-hoe and a crane out into the middle of the desert you ain't getting that back. 8-)
