ok, new home for the fishes.
Looks like a fish that you would find on the bottom of the ocean. A very exspensive fish.
No Sweat! Raise the ship or the cars. Issue a scrap title to them then send them to the scrap yards in Missouri! They will straighten them, clean them, combine two or three cars to make one that works.
Then they will run them down into Arkansas and sell them through auto auctions without titles to buyers there.
For $45 you can then get a clean Arkansas title showing the car has never been wrecked or flooded and ONLY driven to church on Sundays by the salesman’s sweet little old grandmaw.
Guaranteed to run till you get it off the lot.
That is just plain wrong.
Does that racket really go on in Missouri / Arkansas?
Did you notice that it sunk in 10,000+ feet of water? Pf course the dragged it around until it sank...in as deep water as was possible.
Nothing will be recoverable, and thus the true cause of the fire will never be known.
Any fish investigating the large newcomer to their depths were probably shocked at what they found.
The largely burned out ship was being towed back to a safe port when it sank yesterday, according to a report provided by the salvage team to MOL Ship Management of Singapore, which operates the Panama-flagged ship... Among the Lamborghini cars on the ship were some Aventador models... priced at over $US400,000 ($A548,000)... Lamborghini of America CEO Andrea Baldi recently told the industry publication Automotive News that it could be difficult to replace the cars because each one is highly customised and, as it is, customers wait months for their cars.
Perfect, I can use that excuse when I'm explaining why I'm still driving my beater.
BAD NEWS: The cars sunk.
GOOD NEWS: Insurance covers the losses.
The dealerships will suffer in this economy.
Great bumper sticker. “My Bentley was lost at sea”
LOL I’d never seen a Bentley Bentayga SUV in the flesh until today, there was one parked at my grandson’s youth basketball game. The gal driving it looked like she was worth a 170 grand SUV too.
Is that color seaweed green?
Where are the outraged environMENTALists? Crickets!
Why load all that one 1 ship, why not 4 or 5 ships just in case something like this happens you don’t lose the entire load. Sounds like a friction fire to me.
Call James Cameron.
LOL! None of the crew found!
“But that lithium thing explains why the crew bailed so fast——sprinkler system was making it worse.”
How’s it going to react to being underwater?
It has been an Arkansas scam ever since before we moved here in 1956. We always wondered why we could not find a decent used car in this state. It would be another 25 years before I found out why.
A local cop told dad not to buy a used car in Arkansas but would not say why.
Our company bought a brand new car with less than 35 miles on it. One day, months later, I noticed the paint on the right rear and the trunk were slightly different.
A quick check showed lots of Bondo all over the back of the car. It had been in a rear end accident, yet sold as a brand new car.
I bought a nice truck in 1990, till I discovered all the oil resivoirs looked like they had milk in them. A closer examination showed the truck had been under water for a while. Within two years I had replaced all rotating equipment for bearing failures, then the truck locked up due to oil strangulation from trash in the oil sump pickup tube. I had replaced the old oil with new oil.
I’ve seen “totaled” cars back on the road several months later. A couple were owned by me before they were wrecked.
I even got out and checked one and saw it actually was the car I had once owned. A total wreck now back on the road.
The scam is still going on as I was on jury duty not long ago. A man bought a brand new truck in Missouri, ran it down into Arkansas and resold it at an auto auction.
The purchaser got a new Arkansas title and put it on a car lot and sold it to an unsuspecting buyer.
The buyer comes home and finds his truck stolen.
It was the Missouri Credit Union who held the Missouri title had repossessed the truck.
The poor buyer was now left owing a bill to an Arkansas credit union for a truck he no longer had possession.
