It appears that one of Dave's cars has gotten stuck in a dune. (http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/090512-spirit-stuck.html) :(
Space.com can tend to overemphasize drama, but it seems that Spirit is really quite stuck.
Spirit's current sunken situation has raised concerns that the rover's belly pan could now be low enough to contact rocks underneath the chassis, which would make getting out of the predicament even more difficult.
