    I, for one, am quite actually shocked that they're just strapped down to a pallet. I'd have thought they'd build a box around it for protection from the random fork lift driver, stark-raving fan, or disgruntled baggage handler.


    Plus, it takes a lot more work to stack 'em when you have to carefully balance them on those beautifully curved roofs.

    say... the cars are italian, & the carier is dutch; so why's the damn plane an "american"?!


    can't we have a pure european planelopnik & jalopnik "hooha"? or is it just because americans really know how to "haul ass"?!

    They're filming for FnF 5.


    Supposedly they are going to race right out of the back of the plane, something about living your life one quarter frequent flyer mile at a time.
