That's pretty grim. Now that I know how long our cars have been sitting at Baltimore I'm not real happy about that; hopefully later cars will get onto the trucks faster.

It is too bad they are going to crush them, you would think a wrecking yard could pick them up and salvage the motor, transmissions, electronics and other parts as long as they scrapped the damaged componants.

The damage happened while the cars were still on the ship when it tipped. At least our smarts on the docks are on solid ground.
