4000 cars??? Doesn't seem possible. That is, unless you take into
consideration that the theaters on modern passenger cruise lines can have
a capacity of over 2500 people. ..


These ships are tall also. Did not surprise me that one turned turtle.

They rely on ballast tanks to keep them on an even keel. Someone
screwed up with the tank management.


And of course, unlike the passengers on cruise ships, the cars on the
car-carrying ships don't come down with gastric illnesses!

Oh, if you are in the Bozo Bin, it is because you are only here to
insult or your posts lack wit or you are deadly dull, or a combination.
In Just-AN-Asshole's case, it is all three.
