This is what happens when you get stuck on our beach and the tide swamps the vehicle. This one has been out here for at least 7 years, though usually we can only see the engine block peeking out under the sand.[/QUOTE]

......of course, what else would this be but a small block Chevy......

Just paying forward this useful life hack...
When I was a kid, my dad told me that's how they did it in Vietnam. LOL!

Belted QF 2-pounder "Pom-Pom" 40mm shells being passed up from the shell room to a gun platform on the Tribal-class Destroyer HMS Ashanti in November 1941
QF 2-pounder rounds were 40×158mmR, which were shorter than the Bofors 40x311mmR round.

Saw this yesterday. At first, I thought, I haven’t seen a roll bar on a truck like that in a long time. Then saw that it wasn’t even real.

In the past anyone that looked at the top statue instantly knew it was art. The bottom statue is only appreciated by people with an degree in art, and they are the people that proclaim the bottom thing as "art" and not a pile of trash, made by people that call themselves artists.


USS PILLSBURY.
Members of the boarding party from USS Pillsbury (DE 133) secure the tow-line to the bow of the captured German submarine, U-505. Because the sea was sweeping across the deck amidships, the men of the boarding party were forced to hang tightly to a guide wire running from the conning tower to the bow in moving forward or aft, June 4, 1944. (National Museum of U.S. Navy)
