Cars on the beach?!? What the...
That's right, folks. Standing out on the beach this morning, talking to some folks seated at one of the tables farther forward, and a dude comes driving by in his fancy BMW SUV! I couldn't believe it. He was headed north, and I watched him get as far as the boats around El Faro, then stall out, then disappear among/around them.
Ah, Playa... Steve |

The headline of that article could explain the driver's evident sense of total comfort -- had a real God in His heaven and all's right with the world sort of expression on his face as he went by, children with their noses pressed to the glass and eyes wide, as if they were driving through Times Square or something. Heard from one source that they pulled him off somewhere approaching the GPR and that the minimum fine for such behavior would be 2,000 pesos. Perhaps that had a negating effect on his beatific smirk...

Why is anybody surprised to find a car on the beach? This from a culture that brought you drive-in movies, drive-in churches, drive-thru dry cleaners, drive-thru restaurants, drive-thru liquor stores (for people too drunk to walk in, presumably), drive-thru banking (with braille on the keypads, by the way...go figure), drive-thru oil changes, etc. etc. etc. A drive-thru beach seems a rather logical progression. Perhaps they thought the "S" in SUV stands for "shoreline"?

I am so sick of people who have a sense of entitlement. The rules just don't apply to people if you have enough money. We live in a relatively nice area and I see this every day. People who don't think they have to wait in line at stores, people who don't have to stop at stop signs, people who think if they yell and scream long enough and loud enough they should always get their way.
Perhaps we should see if that BMW could drive to Cozumel and send him out to see. |
