Some really tough guys! Good read. Thanks.

Tougher than me for sure. A little nuts too I suppose.

Tough, smart and thinking outside the box. Rough life, with high costs and big payoffs. Great story with Interesting outcome. I actually got to see that vessel in Portland. Didn't know they were shredding brand new cars.

Glad you enjoyed, Harvey. The ingenuity and cajones displayed are off the charts. Yeah just picturing 4000+ shredded cars is mind blowing.

A friend of mine works for a company that unloads cars from the big boats and transfers them to the trucks/railcars that deliver them to auto dealerships. He says that in the case of cars damaged in ocean transit if the damage can be easily fixed it is done when the car is unloaded. If not easily fixed the car is shredded.
