VWs had a slightly shorter lifespan.
WW II crew didn’t get the message.
Davey Jones locker,
Sad.
“Our immediate thoughts are of the 22 crew of the merchant ship ‘Felicity Ace,’...”
Not so with the expectant Porsche owners.
The article indicates Porches and VWs are not the only vehicles being transported. It is possible there are also EVs on board.
I don't know this specific hull at all but it does not appear fully laden from the photo. Nothing indicates how many vehicles are aboard. Says it holds up to 4500. It also may be listing away from the photo vantage giving a false impression.
So who hasn’t had a Porsche fire from time to time? Or am I thinking porch fire?
“The base 2021 Porsche Taycan starts at $79,900, which is one of the highest base prices in the luxury hybrid and electric car class.”
It’s possible one of these was aboard.
Funny how an EV often turns into an ECE (external combustion engine).
wouldn’t THAT be a kick in the ass...

Is the ship’s crew fully vaccinated?
Dork foiler
More importantly, were there enough masks on board?
busted out laughing
Yikes, all those years of eating canned dogfood so we could afford $250,000 for that danged Bently...
Now wasted...
