Be Thankful

If you've been waiting a long time for your new Mercedes arrival, be thankful you didn't order a Porsche or a Bentley. A vessel carrying 22 crew members caught on fire in the Atlantic. They were rescued but the ship is still adrift with 4000 vehicles including 1100 Porsche and 189 Bentleys. One of the dealers for Porsche has already called his customer that his vehicle is on that boat. What next!!???

I have a friend who’s Porsche was on that ship. When he got the news he was devastated. He’s been waiting close to a year for his custom ordered car, and now he’ll have to wait even longer. Truly sucks, luckily they were able to at least rescue the crew abroad.
