Accident

Something tragic happened recently. A cargo ship that was carrying a bunch of cars off the French Atlantic coast caught fire and capsized. Fortunately, no humans lives were lost in the disaster, but a bunch of cool cars have gone to the bottom of the sea.

There is a very hard and fast rule on every racetrack that I have ever visited. That rule is never ever (Ever, ever, ever, ever) get out of your car on the racetrack unless it is on fire.

Here in the U.S., most of the cars are transported by truck or train to dealerships, but cars that come to the U.S. from overseas usually spend a bit of time on the seas. The car carrier Hoëgh Osaka was heading across the English Channel ran into a sand bar.
