    Oh, it's a 612.


    Well, no wonder they brought it on a junk.

    That's ironic. Most of the time, it's junk leaving China on non-junk ships.

    So there's junk in the junk. And when the owner steps onboard for the inevitable photo shoot, there'll be junk in the junk in the junk.


    And maybe more junk in the hull of the junk, depending on the horse market in Hong Kong.

    Perfect smuggling opp. The Prancing Horse Caper.

    This kind of reminds me of that time when Toyota started storing all of those cars on the container ship.

    If I'm ever forced to buy a Prius, I am going to request that it be delivered to me by first flying it, alone, on a cargo plane from Japan to LA. Then shipping it, alone, by car carrier to Savannah, GA. Then put it on a cargo ship, alone, to go around to the mouth of the Mississippi River. Then onto a barge, alone, pulled by the most run-down, 1940s-era tug boat, preferably leaking oil and fuel into the waterway, up the Mississippi to Minneapolis. I don't live in Minneapolis, so then I would drive it 10 hours as fast as possible to Detroit.

    Alternatively, you could always just shit in the local elementary school water supply, wipe your ass with US treasury notes, put them in a paper bag, light it on fire, and throw it at the nearest Hummer H2.


    Much simpler, and still takes care of the wasting money and environmental correctness, and is whole lot more fun because it involves flinging poo and fire.


    It's an all-around win.

    In China "junk" is a Chinese sailing vessel. In America "junk" typically refers to Chrysler products. In SoCal "junk" refers to whats in your trunk. And if you are a douchebag you keep your "junk" in your pants.

    This is all part of Ferrari's plan to lower emissions.


    By shipping a car under sail instead of under combustion power, you cut greenhouse gases.

    I worked in Hong Kong for 2 years, plus I'm there on/off. I've never seen such a blatant expression of wealth anywhere in the US or Europe (haven't been to the Middle East yet). I read a stat that 1:30,000 people in Hong Kong has a Ferrari. For a population of 9 million, that's a lot of them. Ferrari's actually were a little too common there....GT3s, Aston Martins, Maybachs and such were the rarities
