In Australia, the tide changes fast as hell on the popular islands and such, 50 meters of beach can go under in a hour
Woah, I saw this on the news but I didn't know this happened in Cleveland I live about 10 minutes away from here [editline]17th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=SlickBlade;35171241]In Australia, the tide changes fast as hell on the popular islands and such, 50 meters of beach can go under in a hour[/QUOTE] Near us there's a small island that you can walk to at low tide When the tide comes in, this long road of sand just disappears

[QUOTE=TestECull;35166906]If you believe the GPS over what your own eyes percieve you shouldn't be driving. It's that simple. The ocean is pretty hard to miss. It's big, flat, blue, the top wobbles around a bit, and it's not suitable for motor vehicles![/QUOTE] Topgear. Well played.
[QUOTE=Sickle;35171638]The Office will not the Office without him.[/QUOTE] Its quality has improved now that he is gone imo, Although like i said thats just my opinion and i'm sure plenty of people enjoyed him on the show.

Hahaha.... Hahaha.
I wonder if anyone has ever tried getting directions off of google maps that have said to cross the ocean and tried to do it in their car. :v:

I fail to understand how you don't realize you're heading towards water until you're really deep in it.
If you look at google maps it's quite fucking obvious you can't drive there. I live on this bay. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jB8Df.png[/IMG]
I've always wondered what kind of GPS units these people have, that lead them into the ocean or rivers. Our GPS unit only gives us directions on roads.
They didn't exactly drive straight into the water, they drove onto a mudflat which proceeded to get flooded when the tide came in. Still, pretty unwise of them to try to drive to an island.
Bad Reading all up in this bitch [quote][b]A firm gravel surface quickly gave way to the renowned bay mangrove mud and the Hyundai Getz was soon up to its axles, but not before they managed to travel about 500 metres.[/b][/quote]
[QUOTE=Paramud;35185697]Bad Reading all up in this bitch[/QUOTE] My money's on the fact that it was likely a shitty boat ramp and they were just all round stupid. You don't even contemplate driving on mud with a hyundai getz.
[QUOTE=Novangel;35170054]After 400 metres drive across the Pacific.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of when you plug in directions from New York to Japan into Google and it tells you to Kayak across the Pacific making a stop off at Hawaii.
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;35182587]that's funny because korea is the fifth largest in the world to produce automobiles. plus they own hyundai and kia motors.[/QUOTE] I know they are the fifth largest. And Kia only started making decent cars in like 2009, and how the hell is "They are one of the largest producers" a defence for them being shit? Are you implying something is good just because it's mass produced? It's a general known fact amongst car enthusiast that 95% of Korean cars have poor build quality and no soul.
are you shitting me "OH NO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY NOTHING ELSE I CAN DO EXCEPT OBEY THE GPS I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO START CALLING 911 BEFOREHAND ALWAYS GOTTA THINK SMART"
