In the town over from me here on the jersey Shore, Point Pleasant, about fifty years ago someone got the bright idea to use old cars like this as a kind of dune, a break against tidal surges and large waves. They were buried about half-way and then covered with sand. Everything was fine until the nor’easter in 1992 unearthed them and sent them smashing into homes on the beach.
That was a big OOPS.....law on unintended consequences...
