Why would his car be on that boat? Wasn't it going from the mainland to Hawaii?
That freighter was coming here, right?

my car is on the Mahi-Mahi... and the last i checked (2 min ago) its still floating in the pacific

only a few more days left until it reaches port in Honolulu

^^^ LOL. Nice Work.

:tear: :xyxwave: :crying:

:yesnod: LOL!!!

I hope all the boat pictures were all faked - the boat seems too high to be full and its tipped when there are no waves? Does it use the same computer program as that tipped over love boat? Hey computer hackers can this boat be salvaged?

This has happend before, the most famous one being the TriColor back in 2003 with Volvo's, BMW's on it.

60% are Mazda3s and 25% are CX-7s. no word on the otehr 15% although i have made inquiries. also no word yet on what percentage of the 3s may be MS3s

I hope they salvage the boat. That would be great if it did not sink.

Then there would be plenty of cheap prats available.

That picture doesn't look real tho.

ah ... so refreshing to see she's still around. i miss her!

Thats the last thing i wanted to see right now :(

Up yours

CRAP Zoom!!! so much for Jim Sullivan talking about all this extra allocation of MS / CX cars in the next few months!

Why oh why did they have to turn the DSC off?????

no kidding. wait to the next video hits the fan.. which could be soon... since someone is not answering my email:(

keep me posted Zoom....

My car and I will take that personally. Hrmph :nono:

If they take off the captain and the crew she is ripe for salvage - The hull is still intact, wonder how the ballast chambers are arranged - here is our new 8 movie - haunted ship, approaching storm, brave crab fishermen, a treasure load of 8s - wonder how water tight the containers are and if they could be floated independantly - Would the ship right itself if they dropped the cargo? Need a big barge with a big crane....

I was at my dealer today, and one of the guys mentioned they have somewhere around 10 or 12 cars on this boat... still waiting to hear their fate.

holy insurance claim, batman!

Even more proof that the ship is cursed

"Member Of Salvage Team Dies In Accident On Listing Ship

July 31, 2006

By Associated Press


ANCHORAGE, ALASKA - A naval architect from Seattle died in a fall on board an auto-carrying ship that is drifting on it side in the north Pacific.

The Coast Guard says he was part of a salvage team assessing the Cougar Ace Sunday when he fell about 80 feet and was knocked unconscious.

He was taken to a Coast Guard cutter where he was declared dead. His name has not been released.

The 654-foot Cougar Ace has been drifting more than a week near the Aleutian Islands, after tipping on its side while the crew was adjusting the ballast.

The ship is loaded with nearly 5,000 cars, mostly Mazdas that were destined for delivering in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Tacoma."


... accident you say?!? Could there be a continuting correlation to the silver cursed RX-8 possibly on board? :shocking:

Why didnt you just add this to the existing thread? It's not even a week old...

yikes. on land or sea, the silver 8 and those who come near it, are cursed.

aw man, is was funny before joking about it being silver, but its scary to hear about an actual death. pray for the family.

I love my silver 8.
