Sucks for Porsche, Bentley and Volkswagen

It's good that everyone on the ship were safe and unharmed. Not so good for people who were waiting for their cars amidst this chaos..

Wanted to share just in case if any other members on the forum has ordered a Bentley, a Porsche or a Volkwagen and was in transit.

This was not a good update to see in an article this morning:

“The ship is burning from one end to the other... everything is on fire about five meters above the water line"

Bentley said they had 189 cars on the boat worth $30MM. There are something like 3,950 cars on the boat, and I think Porsche said they had 1,100 cars. It's easily over $300MM.
