how old is that pic?

BMW had a boat sink a while back.

I wasn't aware that Mazda still shipped cars via boat? I thought they had plants in the US?

Miatas have always been built in Japan and shipped over here. RX-8s too. cars like the 6 and such are built here.

Both my Mazdas were built in Japan.

It was mostly Mazda3's and CX-7s heading for Canada. The coast guard had actually thought the ship sank and couldn't find it, then they found it again later :lol:
Havn't heard anything since then, that was a couple weeks ago. Also some private cars were being shipped over such as imported Skyline GT-S' and so on. They were tracking it's progress on a skyline forum or something, i'll try to find the link. And the boat was a Roll on - Roll Off style and they don't secure things to well so all the cars are basically gone even if the boat didn't sink.

edit: okay here's the link to the forum

Anyone know how that happened???

 

[fwdtamiya]

Rough seas and it began taking on water

 

[VtecMX5]

sucks for them. Those cars must be in terrible shape.

Actually, they were adjusting ballast for US water and a wave caused the ballast to shift. She hasn't taken on water, apparently, because if she did she'd be with the Titanic.

So weird how it seems to be laying on its side on TOP of the water instead of sinking on its side IN the water.

That's because it was shifting ballast already onboard.
