First one i saw was abandoned on the beach, and flooded. Apparently one of the first things the owner had tried to do was drive on the beach, got down bellow the high tide line, and then gotten stuck. The local paper had a chronicle if the cars short lifespan up that evening, via user photos.
It had come over on the ferry that morning, illegally parked twice down town, once in a handicap spot, and once in a crosswalk, and made it out to the beach to get stuck by noon, and was scrap by 3pm. (I'm assuming, as by that point high tide would have happened, and its battery and engines would have been submerged by a foot or 2 in sea water)
It took a week or 2 fornthem to get it off the beach Apparently the one company that runs a beach capable tow truck had refused, not wanting to risk his vehicle on the fire hazard on wheels (especially when soaked)
