Somebody Really Made a Calendar Mocking All the Cars Beached on the Jersey Shore

Watching foolish drivers get their cars stuck on the beach is one of life's greatest pleasures and one that can bring people together with a common purpose. So much so, in fact, that a local bait and tackle shop in Brigantine, New Jersey has capitalized on this phenomenon to make a little extra cash. For the past few years, RipTide Bait and Tackle has been selling calendars featuring photos of all the drivers who've gotten stuck in Brigantine Beach.

Store owner Captain Andrew Grossman has been regularly helping drivers free their family sedans and sports cars from the nearby beach. His Facebook page is filled with photos of BMW, Lexus, Mercedes cars and SUVs buried in the sand. Drive-on permits for the beach are allowed for four-wheel drive vehicles but I'm not quite sure New Jersians understand that xDrive-equipped BMWs won't really cut it out there.

Grossman told 6ABC Philadelphia that it all began a few years ago when he started taking photos of the beached cars and featuring them in a homemade calendar. He even boasted about the "Beached Cars of Brigantine" calendar making Car and Driver's holiday gift guide one year, as a stocking stuffer.
