Default A Cargo Ship Carrying Porsches and VWs Was Abandoned in the Atlantic After a Big Fire
If you haven't heard, a significant number of Porsche's on board and high likelihood of loss.

I’m getting in my submarine and get one of those GT3’s. Probably easier than getting an allocation

The “track your dream” application just became a nightmare.

glad to hear the crew made it out safely, that had to been terrifying.

Wondering if the smoke damage to the unburnt cars will be enough to total the entire boat load of cars....

Gosh. There are quite a few single unit shipments by named individuals. I wonder if those are cars bought with (European) factory delivery being shipped to the US owners. If so, I wonder what the insurance issues with that may be. Sigh.
