It won't stay that way long if you leave it parked in the grass like that. Nothing rots out the bottom of a car faster than being parked on long grass.
The reason I suspect it was there for a while is that it appears someone mowed around it then the grass grew up again. This is a disaster for any car.
PLEASE park it on cement or gravel if you can't park it inside. Or even lay down a sheet of plastic and cover it with old carpet. Anything to keep the dampness off the bottom and let the air circulate.
