Anyone waiting for a New Porsche or VW?

You might want to track your delivery, LOL.

It seems a car carrier is burning in the Atlantic off the Azores. It's been abandoned (crew rescued) and is adrift and on fire.

Usually, Porsches wait until they are driven to catch fire. Wonder if it was an EV battery that set it off???

Might be a GT4 RS on that ship.

I hope not.

Yeah the GT4 RS was just too hot to handle. My brother had the original GT4...I don't think a day goes by that he regrets selling it.

On a more serious note, that has got to be one huge insurance claim. Glad the crew made it out safe.
