Is this a good idea?!?
I'm planning on taking my car to the Outer Banks. I'd really like a pic of it on the beach in the sunset. I just don't know how it's going to do in the sand. I'm not wanting to drive up and down the beach like I'm in a Jeep. I just want a pretty pic :/ What do y'all think?!? Would you do it?!? Or is this the dumbest idea ever?!?

I've seen online where people in trucks let so much air out of the tires & it helped them roll right over the sand. But that's trucks. I'm not gonna say go out on the beach cause I don't know for sure!!!

I've read that about the air in the tires. It said to lower it between 20-25 psi. But like you said, it said for off road vehicles.
:/ I'll probably keep it on asphalt!!!

Just thinking about it, makes me nervous. I would freaking die if something happened to my baby. I'm going to have to wait till after summer. They only allow driving in certain months.

Some beaches have "hard" sand, others have "soft" sand. Also, the sand will get "softer" as you get closer to the water. Daytona Beach, for instance, has very hard sand and there used to be car races up and down the beach.
Personally, I wouldn't try it unless I was 100% certain there wouldn't be a problem. However, it should be easy to photoshop.
