thanks

I find this very funny. must be cause iam a jack ass hahaha

^^If I were you, I wouldnt laugh so hard, Karma comes back to you in the end.

Let’s hop that nobody’s car was on it. There is nothing worse than waiting for your car and than it sinks, oh god.

I am glad my ecu has already landed

can you get insurance against stuff like this?

I remeber hearing something about a ship ful of ferraris and BMWs and other exotics that sink a while ago…i guess its a risk you take, just like flying.

pics and vids are old because its gone

so to clarify was this ship a container-only ship? or was it a ro-ro ship?

ro-ro ship.I think there was 4800 cars. Though I do see now some spots on the top of the ship where containers would be located so maby some containers were up top and sunk to the ocean floor. Either way it sucks bad! I am pretty sure it was mostly new cars on that boat for the north american market. It also isnt sunk. Its leaning on its side and they are prob going to salvage the vessle and cars MABY!

that sucks still. as long as its all new cars everyone on this board doesn’t give a rats :smiley:

otherwise it really sucks for me because my car has a 50% chance of being on that boat

wish for the best dude

im suprised you can still utter a smiley :o

Ya the boat didn’t sink, it almost capsized. But the angle that the boat was in in some of the pictures isn’t good. Probably every car was on its side in its container. I’ve never heard of O.S.K. Lines but theyre definitely not K-Line or NYK and those are the two majors for used cars. It was probably a ship containing all new Hondas or some crap like that, then in that case lets hope it sinks.

:ROFL :rofl

Hahaha!. :clap

Absolutely! I had it on my cars when I imported them. It was like 53 bucks or something.

Taken from OSK Lines website
“The cars unloaded from on M/V Cougar Ace, a mixture of new Mazda, Toyota, Lexus, and Mitsubishi automobiles, were stored on Fraser Wharves’ 107-acre site, where they will be processed and loaded aboard trains and trucks for shipment to various Canadian destinations.”

all new cars im pretty sure…

which are all going to need some pretty serious body work. Just imagine being the insurance adjuster on that pile of crap.
